I am taking the Praxis: PLT (Principles of Learning and Teaching) exam tomorrow. I have been studying non-stop for about 2 1/2 months now. I have all these facts and names of theorists floating around in my head. I just hope that I can keep them all organized during the test tomorrow! I am really nervous about this test. It was expensive and there is a lot of information on it. I need all the prayers that I can get! I think that the worst part is that I have to wait a whole month before I get the results. I went to a study class the other day. When they told us how long we had to wait for our scores, I said, "So, either we will have a really good Christmas, or a really bad one?" I am keeping my fingers crossed. It was an expensive test and I do not want to have to take it again.
In spite of my nerves, I wish it was tomorrow already. I just want to get it over with. I am not sure if I can fit anymore information in my head. I just want to take the test and be done with it! I also get to drive for about a half and hour to get to the test. And it is supposed to snow tomorrow! Well, at least I haven't been sick all week and have a 103 degree fever like I did with the last major test that I took! I did have parent-teacher conferences this week (which went pretty well--although one set of parents told the principal that I was being too hard on their son. She told them that she knows there son and has seen me teach him. She told them that he was behaving exactly the way that I said he was and that I wasn't being too hard on him.) so that cut into my studying time. I just hope that I can let the test go as soon as it is over and start becoming a normal person again.
Speaking of normal, the dating thing is still happening. After much debate, I decided to renew my online dating account. I wasn't going to; but then changed my mind and thought that maybe just trying it for one month wasn't enough time. I had a date last week that went really well. By really well, I mean that it lasted about 11 hours. I didn't think that it was going to last very long. We were just supposed to meet for hot chocolate. We decided to get lunch instead (it was around 1 at the time). We talked for awhile and then went to get hot chocolate. Before I knew it, it was 7:30 pm. So we decided to get dinner. The dinner lasted until about midnight. He was really easy to talk to and I felt very comfortable. As apposed to my last date, which was fine overall. I was just ready for it to be over. That one still lasted for 2 1/2 hours though. So, yeah, dating online has been an interesting experience. We will see where it goes. ;)
I think that is the latest on my life and all of its drama. I have a pretty one-track mind right now. I hope that changes by 1:00 pm tomorrow when I am done with this dumb test! Take care all!
