Will I ever be a teacher?

Welcome to my very first posting as a blog. Ta Da!

My name is Lydia, and I'm going to be a teacher one day. Some days this feels farther away than other days, especially when I'm struggling to do a tricky assignment, or struggling to focus in a class that I know is applicable to my future and career, but I just can't keep my head from bobbing up and down in almost sleep. Right now all my classes are afternoon classes so I can observe in a local classroom--Which is great!--but at 4 pm I think my brain takes a nap, and tries to take my body along with it. I'm currently a Junior in college, and the farther along I get in my program the more I realize how incredibly difficult of a job it is to be a teacher. My Mom and Mentor (she's a rocking kindergarten teacher) says that it's like eating an elephant--You just teach them a little bit at a time and by the end of the year the kids know a ton!

I'm newly married--almost three months now, and while living with another person is supposed to be challenging, I love it. (And my husband, of course.) I can definatly see why so many people get married after previous relationships have failed. Being married is hands down so much better than the single life. (At least in my opinion, but everything is my opinion obviously, this is my blog.) My favorite thing of the day about my husband: his smile. Be still my fluttering heart.

Well, I've decide that I shall set up this blog the same way I would set up a classroom so....Here are my self proclaimed rules, which I intend to follow. However, everyone knows that teachers are always the worst at following their own rules, but I'll give it a shot anyway!

1. Respect- What does that mean? Teachers always post this in their class rules and as a student I was always so confused! What it means is I will respect you, who ever is reading this, and hopefully those I write about. I'm not afraid to disagree or express my opinion, and I hope you aren't either in commenting. HOWEVER! I do request this: Please do not swear. Which brings me to my second rule.
2. No Swearing--meaning actual naughty words, use something else more creative, such as Fig! Fig Newton! That's what my grandmother says.
3. Nothing Crude, Rude, or Vulgar--Honestly people, let's keep it G. A classroom is (unless it's the halls of a high school.)
