Life is starting to get busy. I have something going on every single weekday (and at least one thing most weekends) for the next around eight weeks. It's a lot, and it feels like a lot. I read my post about My Worst Semester the other day. I remember what that felt like, and what … Continue reading Scheduling

Setting Yourself up for Success
You ever have that moment where a lightbulb goes off in your head? Yeah same. I just had this happen last week. So I wanted to share my story. You see, I had set up a tracker for myself. I'm working on being better in multiple areas to improve my health overall. However, the tracker … Continue reading Setting Yourself up for Success
Taking Care of Yourself
I can't tell you how good it feels to be on Spring Break this week. To be 100% honest, I think I was more excited for spring break than some of my students. And it's not even that I have plans this week. In fact, I don't really have any plans at all this week. … Continue reading Taking Care of Yourself
Graduate Advice
It's that time of year again! Graduation is right around the corner or has already happened for some colleges. The world looks a lot different since the last graduation season. We're actually having graduations this year. My own college graduation was postponed to this weekend. So having been a year removed from college "graduation" and … Continue reading Graduate Advice

To the Class of 2020
To the Class of 2020, I get this. In fact, I am in the exact same position as you. I was supposed to walk across the stage this past weekend with all my friends and receive my diploma holder. It was supposed to be a wonderful day. But that was just my hope. The reality … Continue reading To the Class of 2020

Months of research, writing, phone calls, emails, hours in libraries, nose in books, and eyes tired from the number of articles and newspapers I scoured, but it has all led up to this! For my undergraduate Honors program, the last big requirement is to write a thesis. It took … Continue reading What I Learned While Writing a Thesis
College
Last week, I hit a pretty large milestone for myself. I took my last ever final! Even though I am still technically a college student, I will not have to take any more actual classes or finals. All I have left to do before I graduate in May is complete my student teaching and write … Continue reading College
My High School Practicum Experience
About a month ago, I wrote on my middle school practicum experience. I spent 4 and a half weeks in a high school classroom and I got to experience and love all of them. It was such a wonderful time, and I just enjoyed being in a high school classroom. I wanted to use today's … Continue reading My High School Practicum Experience
Thankfulness
Last year, I did a post on gratitude and shared what I was thankful for. (Read it: https://battlekimoftherepublic.com/2018/11/20/gratitude/). This year, it's a lot harder to determine what to write because all the same stuff rings true from last year. However, there are a few things I want to add to this year's list: Teaching- This … Continue reading Thankfulness
My Middle School Practicum Experience
As I mentioned last week, I spent the past 4 weeks in a 6th grade classroom for my first practicum rotation. Honestly, going into it, I didn't expect to get much out of it. I pretty much had my heart set on teaching high school. But now, I'm not sure that's entirely the case. I … Continue reading My Middle School Practicum Experience
