This
semester is very bittersweet for me. This is my last semester actually
walking on campus from class to class. This is my last semester getting
to know four or five teachers at once. Next semester if the lord says
the same, I will be student teaching. I feel so anxious, yet so
overwhelmed. There is so many feelings of happiness, confusion, and even
a little fear. My main focus right now is to be accepted to student
teach in the spring. That’s the start. The whole process is what is
overwhelming to me. I am sad to say I am a huge procrastinator and all
of the requirements that our college of Education is requesting is due
in less than two weeks. Luckily, I work well under pressure and I
believe in myself that I will reach that goal. I know when all that is
completed, it will relieve some stress I have. I am ready to enjoy my
holidays with my family and friends and come back in the beginning of
2013 with one focus in mind. This is where the happiness and fear comes
in place. Honestly, I am so proud of myself for being I arms reach of
what I have worked for and dedicated all my time to for these past four
years. When you enter college, everything seems so far away but the time
well spent is what prepares you for the end of your journey. I am also a
little afraid of what is in store for me and this upcoming semester.
You hear other people experiences and you do observations yourself, but
there is nothing like experiencing your own student teaching situation.
My goal is to stay positive, focused, and be willing to learn as much as
possible plus more from the opportunity that is presented to me. Now
that I am writing, I feel somewhat better. I know what needs to be done
and I claim successfully getting through student teaching.

It's a little hard to read your thoughts with the color choices. If you have a handle on all the new requirements, you should be able to get everything done (already hit the 290 on CertifyTeacher, yes?).
