October 2003
On October 6, 2003 I was wishing I were in Colorado (like a couple of friends of mine) but I managed to cheer myself up with this thought:
"Of course I get to go to New Zealand *BIG GRIN* *bounce* Weeeeeee!"
And I still didn't know where I would be placed for student teaching (within the country).
October 7, 2003: I was finding new words in the New Zealand Herald like Phalanx.
The thought of going to NZ kept me determined, even during times of extreme stress like on October 22, 2003:
"Feeling the stress. Big time.
I can do it though. Like I told my mom today, I won't let anyone or anything get in my way. I want to graduate with honors and I will. I want to go to New Zealand and I will.
Period.
/is determined."
Along with the knowledge of NZ came thoughts of the future. I had so many possibilities open to me and I'm the type of person to obsess about my future. My poor parents and Aya, I think I must have been driving them crazy. Luckily Aya's a bit like me in that respect - I know she's having thoughts of the future now...
My thoughts regarding the future back on October 29, 2003 were:
"I'm beginning to consider what I want to do after New Zealand and it's looking like graduate school might be a contender. I am looking at staying in NZ for grad school or possibly a job down there... or maybe colorado grad school... so many possibilities!"
