3 more months!

Can you believe it? I know I can't! Three more months until I graduate. Wow. So far, this semester is flying by. I'm trying to make the most out of my time here. I want to make sure that I spend some quality time with the friends that I've made here. If only Chicago would decide to warm up a little and STOP SNOWING so that I could enjoy the city a little more. I'm really looking forward to springtime so that I can spend some time out in this amazing city. I just hate the snow. Like, really truly HATE the snow.

My internship has been amazing so far. My supervisor is so wonderful and has taught me so much. She has given me the opportunity to start running my own groups and doing my own classroom guidance. I really appreciate all that she is teaching me. My kids are wonderful too. It really has solidified for me that I want to work with middle school kids. I love talking with them about high school readiness and career exploration. Some of the things I've learned about some of my kids are really hard. It makes me so sad to learn about the environments that many of them come from. I just want to protect them from the world.

As of now, I'll be moving home sometime between June 1 and July 1. I've really loved Chicago and there is so much about this city that I will miss. Just not the snow.
