Personal life

Well, I figure I should write a little bit about myself and what I have been up to the past while. I am on a roll at blogging I have blogs coming from everywhere it seems. If you want you can check my blog out on MSN myspace (if you dare to seek the dark side of me just kidding). I wanted to keep my personal side away from my professional side; however, I figure I will tell you a bit of news about myself that I haven't already said in my profile. My name is Krissy and I have many of nicknames that you probably saw. Yeah some of them are a little nuts but all have meanings behind them. I described myself to my coop is that I have many sides to myself, and he always commented on these sides, dominantly on my hick-ness. I'm just your average student, in her fourth year of elementary education and anticipating April to come quickly. People tell me not to look forward to the "real world" and spend as much time as you can in university... well I feel like I have been here forever and I think I just greatly want to get out of this city.
I pre interned in a grade two classroom at MacNeill School and interned in a prek/k classrooms at Imperial Community School (both in Regina). I had a lot of fun teaching and in some sense it didn't feel like teaching at all. I was told taht internship is the hardest part of the program and to be truthful I found it to be the most fun! Going into internship I was very bitter due to fact my first coop backed out on me the last minute and I got asked to go into a classroom which was my last preference. Nonetheless, I made the best of it and in four months the little munchkins grew on me. Pre internship and internship was a time for me to test my boundaries. In pre - internship I focussed on a whole unit on Aboriginal content (boy that was sure a hassle, but accomplishment all in one), and in internship I focussed on the five senses but to raise the bar I taught the children Spanish and made my pre k kids do special presentations for the family. Also, my pre k kids and I created a song along the same lines as "Looking for Dracula" but ours was a Christmas version.
Other than education, there is a lot going on with my personal life. Some greatest accomplishments is finally making the doctors believe my knee is still hurting after 2.5 years and I'm on a waitlist for Scoping, and I am having my tonsillectomy on Feb 1st (another accomplishment because this took half a year if not more to get into a specialist) . Also, I work as a Casual on Resident Care at Valley View Centre in Moose Jaw on the weekends. This is one of the best jobs that I have had and it is something I am passionate / interested in (special education component). Working out in VVC has taught me many lessons that I can adapt to my teachings such as passion, caring, loving, understanding, motivating, staying active and singing songs, etc. I will definitely take what I have learned into my teachings. Alas, everyone had something to say about their weekend. To sum, mine was sad as I found out some very upsetting news and am attending a funeral for a friend of mine on Wednesday. So, things can only look up from here...

Peace. Love. Happiness.
