Day 1

I decided to jump back in to blogging.  I decided by doing this, I was going to do the 30/60 day blog challenge.  I found a thirty day challenge and a sixty day, so I am going to combine them on some and just pick one for others.
Day 1 – A photo of yourself, 15 interesting facts, and a description of how your day was.

15 Facts:
1.  I stress wayyyy too much.  I stress about money, I stress about grades, I stress about observing, I stress about pleasing everyone, I stress about the people I love thinking I am a failure, etc.  I could go on and on and on, but I will spare you.

2.  I have wanted to teach since I was in like kindergarten.  No lie.  I really REALLY hope I get to use my middle school social studies part of my degree, as opposed to the elementary education side of the degree. I love working with middle school kids.

3.  I have the best parents in the world.  I know, I know, everyone says that, but no my parents really are.  I know my parents haven't always given me everything like some kids, but that is one reason why the are such good parents.  I have had to work for things.  I take care of my belongings (as the best to my ability).  They have went above and beyond for me and honestly I don't think I thank them enough.  They are the people I try most to make proud of me and when I fail at something I am always afraid they will think I am a failure.

4.  I want to live in one of the New England states.  I have since I was 14, but I am thinking it will be hard to find a teaching job there.  If I end up having to stay in West Virginia I want to stay in the Wheeling area.  I find the area fascinating and there are a couple schools I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to work at if I decided to stay in this area.
5.  I have the best fiance in the world.  He is always there for me when I am depressed (which has been a lot lately) and he always tells me how amazing I am.  He can almost always cheer me up.

6.  Honestly the people that can cheer me up the quickest are all male: my dad, my fiance, and my brother.

7.  I always hated my name growing up, but now I love it.  There aren't a million Eva's and it is a name I can grow in to.  When I have children, I want to give them the same type of name.  Things that can be cutesy, but won't look stupid when they are 87 on a motorize scooter.

8.  Working at some of the after school programs this semester have make me thankful for the things I have.  I may not have the newest clothes or be super rich, but I have never gone hungry and I always had supportive parents.  It really just breaks your heart sometimes.

9.  I have more pet peeves than the average person.

10.  If I could go out and start teaching today I would in a heartbeat.

11.  I love learning about odd things.  I love watching "Decoded" on the history Channel.

12. I love love love Lenny Kravitz.  

13. Lady Gaga is my guilty pleasure.  I honestly think in some ways she is a good role model.  She is all about not bullying and equality and I admire her so much for that.

14.  I am the post-it queen.

15.  I love cooking and baking.

My day:

Panicky, because I am the queen of stress, but fun because my mom bought the new electronic Monopoly and we played it (I won).  Mom also made her awesome homemade tomato soup!
