Violet and Clover: Kenya, Here I Come

So this month has been a big one in the life changing department. I moved in with Jayne, began my BEd at University, don't live with W., and have decided to go to Kenya for my practicum in April. Jayne and I, along with Mel and Sarah, will be heading off together in only a few short months. Our goal is to fundraise over $10,000. This is feeling like an extremely large goal, however, Jayne's friend Anna went 2 years ago with one other girl, and they raised that much. We have started getting things organized. We opened a bank account today, started a blog, and have a ton of fundraising ideas.
On the school front, today we did our first in class seminar. I was in a kindergarten class at a private Catholic school. It was a fantastic experience. The teachers were really welcoming and encouraging. We did story time, helped with duo-tangs and writing. I think we had a more interaction with our students than a lot of other groups.
I am at the panic point in school. But rather than panic I procrastinate. This weekend I have to focus on getting some reading and assignments finished. Jayne's been sick and she's still way more on top of things than I am. In P.E. I was feeling really overwhelmed by all of the things I have to do, but somehow I know it will all get done. Next weekend is Thanksgiving already. I only have 2 months of school before I get a month off. That month off seems a bit extreme. Maybe I can get some work in at CC? I hope so.......
A momentary trip down memory lane, this summer we spent a weekend at C's sister's fiance's parent's summer house. What a mouthful. Anyways, I don't have a lot of pictures from it, so I will post them now. It was an awesome weekend. It was hot, and there was bocce, and kayaking, and tubing, and bbqing, and all the summer events you could ask for.
