*groan*

Praxis 2 in a few hours.. again.

:o :eek: :(

I hope it went well! I kow many education majors from my first school who had to change majors 'cause they couldn't pass the Praxis.

So...should the topic of DZ/Turtle time be brought up Convention this year? It seems like a nation-wide problem :p

LOL - thanks *HUG*

I think I did alright - I left with my head held high (every other time I have taken it I have immediately known how I did by the way I felt. I've been accurate thus far.)

I have to wait to find out until approx. the 20th. I hope I passed - I need to become a REAL certified teacher.

Right now, I just play one on TV.

I'm slightly confused....you're allowed to teach based on the fact the school is assuming you're going to pass the Praxis? Kinda like graduating from law school and going to work at a firm before passing the bar?

Kind of, yes.

I have a provisional contract and license to teach. It is only good for 1 year. SO I need to pass the Praxis (Maryland has diff. requirements than New Hampshire, which is why I'm taking the Praxis 2, here, now.) and apply (and be granted) a teaching license by June.

:)

Sorry to double post - but I wanted to share a fabulous photo of my hubby-to-be and I from his work Holiday party. He is absolutely adorable in his tux...

I had a snow day today - WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

now I need to go clean the house before the hubby-to-be gets home :p

Ah, Lucky. ;) I was hoping for a snow day, but alas. We did get a lot of rain and I'm kinda surprised it didn't freeze.

Your photo looks great, BTW!

I just got a call from my Department Chair at my school - 2 of my students were killed over the weekend in a car accident.


wow.

:(

Oh, no! :( I'm so sorry.

That's so horrible to hear :(

Merry Christmas (a bit late :p )

How was everyone's holiday?









I PASSED the Pedagogy section on the Praxis 2 with a schore of 191 out of 200!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D

That's great news!

My break is boring. I'm working. I'm sitting around the house. That's about it. I can't wait to go back to school.

What is everyone doing tomorrow night to ring in 2006?!


I am going my fiance's best friend's house - we're having a party there.




(And seriously, no joke.. at 12am I am going to scream at THE top of my lungs - so listen, you might hear me - that I am get married THIS year ;))



Thanks Katie, by the way. I'm sorry you're so bored. I always hated Winter Breaks that I was home. I get bored easily. *hugs*

CONGRATS! :D Hope everyone's holidays are going well...personally, I'm soooooooooooooooo glad to not be working retail this year. You have no idea. I like being a student. Being a teacher will be OK, too, because you get breaks along with the students. I'm all about holiday breaks. :)

I think I'm going to a bar tomorrow night with my friends for New Year's...same place we went last year!

I think I am going to make a new thread...

"In this thread we discuss how Ann is getting married in 5 months and is going to throw up and be stressed every day until then OMG I can't believe I'm getting married so soon"

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

and PS Dana... errr.. I mean Your Royal Highness - I'm STILL giggling.

Yet I'm kind of mad - you beat me to that comment, 'cause I was totally thinking the SAMEEXACT thing :p

That's OK...you can call me Dana. ;)

Our Save the Date Magnets came in today!!

here is what they look like (Not ours, from the website..)

I like those! And I really like the fact they're magnets.

thank you :)

So cute! I've never seen the magnets before, but it's a great idea.

Those magnets are a great idea! Very cute, too! :D

Thanks for the magnet compliments - I'm head-over-heels in love with them :D

5 months from this moment... I will be married - HOLY COW.

How is everyone? :)

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
 

One of my high school students has a shirt on today that says "Delta Zeta Diva" with a squirrel on it.

I asked her where she got it and there is a local store tht sells them.

Makes me SO mad :mad:

Re: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
 

This happened in my area as well(but the shirt had a kitten on it). Was this a Steve and Barry's? That's where those shirts were. Our national rep. called HQ, and I don't know whatever came of the situation.

Re: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
 

I had seen that shirt last year I think at a Steve and Barry's store.... I WAS LIVID and wanted to by all of them out of the store.... I think I asked everyone how they could market that....yes I agree VERY ANGRY. The worst part, these young girls probably have NO idea what Delta Zeta even means!

Re: Re: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
 

Slightly off-topic, but I really hate Steve and Barry's...sure, it's cheap, but the stuff is cheap, too. I mean, I didn't really expect much out of a sweatshirt I got there one time--I mean, it was about $12, come on--but I did expect to be able to wear it more than once before it shrunk all warped and out of shape. :p

Anyway, about these shirts you all are talking about...I'm like you, I'm wondering how they can sell those. I'm sure they're not licensed. :rolleyes: I hate the idea of my sorority's name on a cheap-a$$ shirt.

My friend gave me a t-shirt from there that started off too big....and is now too small. It is cheap crap.

I think the shirts down here in WV said "Delta Zeta Angel" and had a kitten on them. Which brings to me a trademark questions. I do believe we have our letters copywrited, but what about our name? Because if we do, why hasn't HQ sent out a cease-and-desist (or however it's spelled)?

Total random post here & sorry to crash but I did just find out that my former chapter of Sigma Kappa has been paired w/Delta Zeta & Theta Chi for Greek Week. DZ is the defending champion at my alma mater so good-luck to them!

Thanks for the info! Good luck to all three orgs! :D

its time for my monthly hello! hahaha - sorry - school is absolutely CRAZY for me.

99 days and 4 hours until I get married - how time has FLOWN!!!

How is everyone? I miss chatting with you ladies!!

So, i have some exciting dress pictures to show - I had to order a new dress because suddenly my boobs decided it was time for puberty all over again and have grown HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE. So, my new dress came in today and I put it right now - its absolutely perfect!!!

I had to share some detail pictures with you all :)

93 days to go!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :D :

SO GORGEOUS!!!!!!! :D

So, um, how long does post-election drama last?

I STILL deal with it.. and my last election was 2 or so years ago ;)


Forever babe - hate to break it to you!

:mad: :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

pssssssssssssssssst?

How is everyone? Finals going well?

Where has everyone been? I've been SO busy coaching a winning Indoor colorguard season and preparing for my wedding, which is NEXT MONTH!!!


what's ya'lls excuse? ;)

My excuse? Procrastination.

I just interviewed to keep my position as editor of my school's paper for the upcoming year. Despite there were only 3 applicants, and to be honest, the other two don't have the experience I do, I'm still nervous.

As far as finals go, I got up to study for a final at 4 am. Only to have the prof. write a completly easy final, hand it out, and leave the classroom. So, yeah....

Are you nervous about the wedding, or excited?

I totally hear the procrastination deal ;)

I hate it when profs do that.. grrr!

I am both nervous and excited. I feel like I am running out of time and I won't get it all done... but I'm excited because I adore my Future Hubby - we live together and know we can do it.. and I've been waiting for this day for over 7 years.

All of the above, please :)

Hi ladies!!!

Congrats to all who graduated!! Anyone have a job or anything lined up?

How is everyone? :)
