The good and the bad

One of my favorite things in life is good news. I love hearing good news!! So I guess I'll share mine. I've been really stressed lately about life. I'm at the point in my schooling where I have to take action and make a lot of decisions! I can either do student teaching or an internship, and there are lists of pros and cons for each. I haven't been able to decide which way to go, but I went in and talked with a counselor the other day. As of right now, I need one more semester to finish my generals. That means putting off student teaching a semester and completely eliminating the option of an internship. It's not what I wanted to hear, but now I know exactly which classes I'm taking until I graduate, what is expected of me each semester, and whether or not I student teach. It has made life so much easier since then!

Although life has been on the upside since yesterday, this past weekend was really hard. My Grandpa, Clive Fenton Bybee passed away Nov. 23, 2008. It was a hard time for everyone involved. Grandpa has been living in a care center the past couple years because he was becoming less independent and my grandma couldn't take care of him. He's been struggling with many health issues and finally is at rest. My grandparents love each other so much, and it's hard to see my Grandma hurting! But she knows she'll see him again. I'm glad I got to know my grandpa. He was a good man and a good example. He was a really hard worker and supported and supplied for my grandma for nearly 60 years with 10 kids, 4 foster kids, and 51 grandchildren. He is a great man and I'll miss him a lot! I love you Grandpa!!!
