Ok, so I only slept for MAYBE an hour last night. I could NOT sleep for the life of me. I think what happened is that I did a bunch of packing and moving crap and stayed up too late. Then my body was just awake. Plus earlier I took a 3 hour nap in the middle of the day. Dang it! I am only up because we have more to do before Dad comes this afternoon, and he will be pissed if we're not ready to go. I have to run to Wal Mart and get a couple more totes and packaging tape. I hate moving, can't wait to do it again in a matter of weeks. Who knows where though? I won't even go there. And no I never heard from Faribault yesterday.
So Nicole called me yesterday morning and canceled the babysitting. She felt bad but they were just too tired from going to Country Jam the first two nights. I told her not to feel bad because I had plenty to do and plus I don't exactly NEED the money anyways. They paid me $120 for the two nights as it is. It was nice to babysit actually, they were good. Friday night after they got home we stayed up talking until 12:45. Those parents are just easy to talk to, I didn't even mind that I didn't get home until almost 1am.
Yesterday I had my PLT. It went alright, I went up until the very last minute. Usually with standardized tests I have plenty of extra time, but this was 25 multiple choice and 12 essays in 2 hours. There were 4 case studies with 3 essays each. I'd say I did pretty good. Before I left when I was printing my admission ticket I looked at the practice test they have online and got worried. I don't remember specific theories and terminology from Bloom's Taxonomy, but it turns out it wasn't really about that. I don't get why they make the practice tests so different from the real thing! It was like that when I took my music content one before student teaching. Anyways, there was one case study that made sense to me but what they were asking for the essays was a little hard. Going into it I was scolding myself for not buying the study guide online and studying more, thinking I might not do well, which would make it so I wouldn't be able to renew my MN license. BUT thankfully it went well. I don't know how well, but I'd be reeeeeeeeeally upset if I didn't pass. I am just glad to have it over with. Now I have to wait for my scores to be put up and I can finally get my license.
Today, like I said before, I am finishing packing up. A lot of my stuff was already in boxes so I am trying to help Theresa since she works a lot this week and last. I need to take our sheets off our beds so we can move our mattresses, pack up her computer so we can take apart her desk, and make sure there is plenty of room in here to move our big furniture. We haven't moved anything into storage because it's taken so long to just pack it up. Plus we realized we have lots of boxes that could go on top of dressers in there too. I think Dad would rather move the furniture into empty storage so he can arrange it the best way. I bought a tool set yesterday so we can take some things apart. It feels good to finally have one. Before I just had a screwdriver and a hammer.
Tonight we are going to BJ's for dinner. I hope I am not too tired. I don't want to be a party pooper. I bought a folding chair to bring over this time. I hope we have another bonfire. Then I have to sleep on an air mattress. I found a patch so I am going to try to patch up the hole from friggin Gustav in my air mattress. There's another one here too so if mine won't work, I'll try the other one. I think Theresa and I might have to sleep together for the next few days, ha! I am not looking forward to living out of boxes at Becky's. Her room is already pretty crowded and when we move our stuff in there it's going to drive me crazy. I wish she had some more areas for storage. Maybe she'd move some of it to our storage unit until we move out. I have been dreading replacing the light in the basement here and going through that stuff again. Maybe it won't be too bad.
I should quit procrastinating. Hope everyone had a great weekend. I have a three day workweek and am heading to Chicago on Wednesday night! Can't wait, so friggin excited...
