  • I did it!!!!

    Some of you might remember.  About a month ago, I took a two+ week break from xangaworld to study for a pretty big test I had coming up.  I am working on getting my teaching certification here in the great state (maybe one day Nation*) of Texas and had signed up to take a certification exam on April 4th. 
    I get HORRIBLE test anxiety.  Not only do I freak out BEFORE I take the test (thus requiring my total dedication to studying for hours on end), but for some reason all of my senses become ultra-sensitive DURING the test.  At one point during my test, I was considering beating a man to death because every two minutes he cleared his throat (yes I timed it and I was still the 3rd one to finish my test).
    Anyway, all my freaking out and studying for an ungodly amount of time paid off!!!  Today I found out that
    I PASSED!!!!!!!!
    So, now I'm qualified to teach EC-4th grade generalist and ESL.  The alternative certification program that I am planning to go through to become fully certified to teach requires that I take my TExES exam BEFORE they let anyone into the program.  So, now that I have passed and once I get into the program, my plan is to go and get certified to teach Special Education.  When all is said and done, I hope to be certified in, not only EC-4 Generalist/ESL, but also in Special Education.  Thus making me more marketable in a growing demand for teaching positions!
    I just can't believe I passed!!!! I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!  I thought for sure I had failed!  I feel the need to celebrate now! LOL

    *No, I'm not one to wish for Texas to secede from the Union.  I just wanted to throw that in there to see if you were paying attention! LOL*

  • I can't wait for this movie to come out!

  • Where have you been????

    Yeah, I know.  I haven't been around at all recently. 

    At first, my excuse was that I was studying for a test.  I'm trying to become a teacher here in the great state of Texas; and since I didn't get my degree in education, I have to find alternative routes to pursue this. 

    So I took my TExES (which is the test you have to take here in TEXAS---creative of them huh???---to get your teaching certificate) on April 4th and am still waiting for my score (I hear it's normal to wait 3-4 weeks for an answer).  So cross your fingers for me.

    So after April 4th came and went (and I was no longer stressing over a test), I started to slowly sign back in to my Xanga to check how things were rolling here in Xangaland.  I'm not going to lie.  All I saw was drama, bitching, drama, drama, did I mention drama?  So instead of making a bitchy post about the drama, I just decided to keep away.  It's been refreshing to say the least.  But alas, I have missed some of those here in xangaland. 

    So now I'm hoping I'll be able to get back into the swing of things here.  Hope everyone had a good few weeks!

  • Whiny people and other things that make me want to...

    bang my head repeatedly against a concrete wall.

    I'm not talking about people complaining about something on a random basis.  NO!  I'm referring to the whiny people that constantly whine and complain about the same damn thing like they have never mentioned it before.  I have come to the conclusion that this is one of the reasons I do not KEEP friendships.  I have no issue making friends; I just get annoyed by a lot of people and I speak my mind about it.  I'm not a great friend.  I'm not going to sit there and listen to how you missed talking to your husband on a fucking webcam by 2 minutes.  I WILL tell you to get the fuck over it.  YES, he's in the military and NO, he's not at home with you.  He's living it up in fucking Japan while you're living at home freeloading off of his benefits.  YES, the Marine Corps sucks at times, but it could be a hell of a lot worse.  And not to mention, you fucking married into it!  He was a Marine when you married him and you knew you weren't going to be with him 24/7 from the start.  So why start whining about it now???  And not just on "important days" like your birthday, his birthday, Jesus' birthday (had to throw that Katt Williams in there); NO, you complain about it EVERY fucking day! 

    Yes, I was a military wife.  Yes, I was married to the Marine Corps for 5 glorious years (and I do realize that I said married TO the MC---those who are married to someone in the military understand this).  Yes, my husband spent the ENITRE first year of our marriage (and our first son's life) overseas away from me (and our son).  But I fucking got over it!  Yes, depression would step up and rear it's ugly head---but not EVERY fucking day.  I had a life to lead and responsibilities to take care of while my husband was away.  I'll admit it, I took my cell phone with me EVERYWHERE I went.  I slept with my cell phone and house phone every night.  Did I unleash my insecurities and whines upon all of those within hearing distance?  Fuck no!  Some things are just better left unsaid.  So don't get pissed off at me whenever you tell me that you got to chat with your husband via webcam for only 10 minutes last night and I promptly remind you to "shut the fuck up, it could be a hell of a lot worse!"

    Whew---I feel so much better now that I got that off my chest! 

    Anyone else have a "bang your head against a concrete wall" moment recently?!?!

  • A dying breed

    It has come to my attention lately that there is a dying breed amongst us.

    No, I'm not talking about "good writers" here on xanga.  As far as I'm concerned, there are quite a few good writers on here.

    No, I'm not talking about "knights in shining armour".  There are a few females out there that have since stopped looking for that gorgeous muscular man to come trotting up on his white steed to rescue us from the mundane lives we lead.

    I'm talking about cars.  Not all cars in general.  Apparently there are some models of cars out there that have long since lost a working BLINKER!  We need to contact the car companies and make sure that they are still, in fact, installing properly working blinkers on their cars.  Maybe that's why the car industry has been on the steady decline for a while now?!?!?!?  I know it couldn't POSSIBLY be the drivers.  No, of course not.  There are NEVER at fault! 

    So, now I'm on a mission!  BRING BACK THE BLINKERS!!!!
