Well,
Final project is 1/2 way complete. I got my articles and videos complied with a virtual and hard copy. Yay-go me
I meet with my supervisor in 30 minutes and we are going to get the online classroom hopefully up and running for the summer class.
I now have to make a poster for emerging adulthood. I have most of the information I just want to make a hard copy to show my class on Monday what it is and how to make a "Mock" lesson plan. I really need to get on the ball-
I went to Eisenhower yesterday and it was great to finally get respect from the middle schoolers. I am happy that it went smoothly and look forward to the last two weeks.
I feel overwhelmed. I need to finish my portfolio and then we can say FINITO!

Dead Week
It's "Dead week" and there is nothing dead about it.(Except my allergies making me feel like a train wreck...) Besides that I have been super busy the past 5 days with working on my final presentation(Which is pretty baller) Researching Emerging Adulthood and making a mock presentation, polishing my assignment for my internship, while finishing a paper(Which is complete) and trying to get my portfolio all snazzy. Yeah-that's my life as of today.
I got a bit ran over on Friday and decided to take a sick day and head over to the doctor-I have severe allergies and asthma. Therefore they gave me a crap ton of meds and I accidently took too many Sunday Night which lead me to be sick Monday morning. Blah-
Now that it is Tuesday I feel ten times better and I am on a roll. Hopefully on Thursday I will have my final evaluation and turn in all of my projects. YAY!
This semester has been awesome! I recommend that everyone that is in the Family Stuidies department or if you ever have an opportunity to have an internship PLEASEEE Please take it. I have learned so much within the past year from both of my internships (Near and Far) that there are so many life skills that are not conducted in the classroom and you need that experience to get you through that next step.
Now I have the BEST supervisor ever and you all should be jealous. He deserves so much credit to where I am today and I am so thankful for having this great opportunity. It is going to be difficult to leave and honestly very bittersweet(so corny). If I had it my way I wouldn't have to leave but it will be time to move forward in my new direction.
Happy Tuesday! I wish everyone luck for the next couple of weeks! Graduation!!!! :)

2.5 weeks
Until graduation!
Yay.
I have been working on my final projects for my internship and most of it will be finished by Friday of this week. I have compiled multiple KSOL videos, found new information for the human sexuality class and my mock lesson plan will be in the works as well.
I have a lot going on and many due dates.
I am very pumped to present my final internship project to the class on MONDAY! I have so much information that I am afraid that 15 min won't be enough time...Strategic planning ahead.
It's Wednesday! Weekend is almost here : )

Thoughts/Emerging Adulthood Lesson Plan
YAY! Its Friday.
This week had a major turnaround and I am very happy with the outcome. I get to hang out with my family this weekend and my Bestie (Titi) will be celebrating Easter with us. :)
This week I have been trying to complete my project that I was assigned at the beginning of the semester and adding interesting insight on it. I am being stubborn because I am waiting until the last week to put it completely together. I feel like I will have more information to put in it so I am going to wait...but it's almost finished.
I am also looking to finish my portfolio and final project that is due too. I have been trying to balance my time. Working on these at night and the internship during my regular hours it can get pretty intense. Sometimes I feel like people don't understand the amount of work that this last semester has given me. It seriously is like a full time job and I don't have the option of skipping. Ha! I am a big kid now, and I work hard at what I do. Although Confucius says, "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. So I am enjoying my internship and workload thank you very much!
I have gotten myself into yet ANOTHER project! I want to do some research on Emerging Adulthood and make a mock lesson plan for my final internship project.
This past week I have been getting my thoughts together in trying to find the perfect ending to my internship. I have been interested in this topic for awhile and have found that I experience emerging adulthood in everyday life, either it being with my peers or even just myself.
My time is running out and it makes me sad. I wish this could be a paid full time job,because I have learned so much about people, that it amazes me. It has helped me grow as a person and I wouldn't have had it any other way. I will miss it when this comes to the end but I will be moving on to bigger and greater things.
I will update you more on my lesson plan/research here within a couple days.
Have a blessed weekend and be safe if you are traveling,
Jessi

Moment for Life
"This is my moment I just feel so alive."
Wow THANK GOD that today is running a tad more smoothly then the past couple of days. Holy Moly. I told myself that I was treating today as Monday so I could look forward to a positive weekend. I just started on the wrong foot on Monday and now I am just hopeful of ending the weekend on a lighter note.
I have been thinking about a lot of things especially because of my circumstances. I do not like asking for help, I feel weak when I ask. If I do ask and I don't get a response or am given a response that doesn't make me feel that great it only discourages me. I would like to thank MY MOTHER for putting up with my shit for the past week. I have been a basket case and then some. She has been helping me with my transportation and helped pay for my starter(car). Now I would also like to thank my friend TIM and Azia for helping the other night. It means a lot when people help especially when they do it out of kindness.
Now, I am frustrated with the others who failed to respond to me, or even just gave me an excuse that just wasn't cutting it. I will take it as it is, but I'm going to start putting my foot down. That is my weakness and it gets the best of me. I am TOO nice of a person. I had a friend tell me the other day that I put others lives before mine. Yes, I do. I do because I get satisfaction out of helping people out, but at the same time I get frustrated with my fairweather "friends".
So maybe this a rant blog, but it is what it is.
I am thankful for what I have, and who I can share it with. My mom sent me a email today that someone had sent her and it put me at ease. I am going to share for those who need it:
life: This is God.
Today, I will be handling ALL of your problems for you. I do NOT need your
help. So, have a nice day....
I love you.
P.S. and remember....
If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do NOT
attempt to resolve it yourself: Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for
God to do) box. I will get to it in MY TIME. All situations will be
resolved, but in My time, not yours.
Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying
about it. Instead,, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in
you life now.
Now, you have a nice day.
God

I take it day by day and look up above for strength.
My "Moment for Life" as of now is being appreciative and to never take ANYTHING for granted. <3

New Post
Yesterday we had a seminar on stress free attitudes/days/ways to deal and I found it to help out. Wow I have been stressed for the past two weeks over the end of the year,graduate school, and finding a job. It is consuming my life and I just want to sit back and not deal with it. At the same time I need to face it and get it together.
Other than that I have been focusing on my final project and teaching the middle school kids about bullying. They can be a handful but at the end of the day I can deal with them. They are starting to respect me and I am trying my hardest to have as much patience as possible. I could never be a middle school teacher. Although this is a great experience I give a lot of credit to those teachers.
I have become obsessed with the aerobics class at Max Fitness, Zumba. It is so upbeat and there are tons of people that take it so it makes it extra fun.
I decided to go to Friends, I did mention that but now I am looking at apartments and other types of things to do while there.
Just lots going on and I feel overwhelmed.
Lets start the countdown 3 more weeks!
