Story Time with Mia

I am a 21 year old college student at Purdue University. I am currently in my third year studying elementary education. I love to dance especially swing...so if you know of any good places to go leave me a comment. My one heart's desire would be to live a life pleasing to God and glorify him in all I do. If I could go anywhere in the world I would go back to Russia...I love the people there! I want to travel all of Europe someday too! Mexican food is the bomb! And kids rock my socks!

Random Stuff

I am sitting at my computer thinking to myself...I should really be getting to bed...but the non-decafinated tea I drank is just not agreeing with that assessment. Thus I sit here updating a blog I have not looked at for months. I am basically going to write about random things that come to my mind so if you get lost just move along because nothing is going to be related.

Have you ever had a class where after the first two weeks you want to do the evaluation for your teacher so that you can hopefully give him or her some feedback that will help improve their class. Yeah I feel like that right now. There is nothing worse than getting up twice a week for a class that at this point in time seems completely worthless...especially in this critical time right before student teaching. Blah...there is still hope for improvement!

I seriously had the best lecture ever today. A first year teacher came in and shared some of her struggles as a first year teacher...it was funny and very helpful in giving us ideas for the future. I have a good story that she shared with us so if your interested in hearing it let me know!

Kara and I had a nice discussion on what should we as christians do when we have a leader who is going contrary to biblical law...such as murdering people. It seems to me that children, who are under the command of their parents, are able to go against their parents if they are asking their children to do something contrary to the biblical law. Does that not translate to citizens under their government. Not only is it our right to go against the government but it almost is our responsibility to do so.

One last thing before I go...I think its funny

I went to a classroom during finals week and this little second grade boy comes up to me and asks: "What are you doing here" I explain that I am just observing and helping out for the day. Right before he is about to leave he says "Well...even George Washington knows my name. I don't know where that came from but I was cracking up on the inside after he said it...kids say the silliest things.
