I think the thing that stands out the most to me is my getting a job. It pays well but like all jobs that pay well, it sucks. It is no where near my profession but I like the idea that I now have work experience outside of my moms home daycare to which I was an assistant and fill in whenever she had to travel. A of the 2nd of January it will have been one year exactly...it feels like it has been much longer than that. However I am great full to have a regular income and something to do week nights.
Another thing that happened was I graduated with my Associates degree in Elementary Education. I don't feel much different and considering I don't have a job in education yet I guess it makes no difference. I am still a full time student except I will be transferring over to a university this Winter semester and my pockets will undoubtedly cry from the cost of tuition. I am both excited and anxious about the transfer and will most likely make a post after my first day or week.
My niece and nephew both turning 1 this past year is also something that stands out to me. I have loved seeing them both grow and can't wait to see them grow even more this year and in years to come inshallah. They have easily become 2 of my most favorite people.
The last thing that I feel is worth typing out for you all from 2013 is my first actual teaching experience. My chem professor took us to an elementary school to teach kids as opposed to sitting in class and teaching each other like I have done in past courses. It is a much different feeling teaching children than it is adults. I am awful at teaching adults, but with kids it came so naturally. I was beginning to sway from my decision about teaching, but that brought me right back to it. It was overall a very rewarding experience!
Minor things that have also happened:
I've redecorated my room...still in the process actually.
I've become less obsessive about social media, which is a good thing in my opinion!
I am working on putting together something for charity and can't wait till it all comes together. It may not be ready till next winter but that's alright as long as it becomes real.
I have a beauty blog, it's not the greatest but it is a work in progress. subtlebeauty27.blogspot.com
I built my own bed which took all day, but was rewarding when I got to sleep in it that night.
Well that was basically my 2013. I can't wait to see what this year brings for me. I plan on being much more easy going and try not to stress over the little things. Take things as they are because, for the most part, you can't really change the outcome of some things! Happy new year :)
