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?).
