Fresh start

Fresh start number 134,234

One day at a time.

No fancy statements.

Just making better choices. I have lost in past without calorie counting. Just by avoiding high carb/sugar things and making better choices. 

I am working on this again. I just do not have the patience or follow through to weigh everything out and count every single calorie. I am at a high yet again. 250 to be exact is what I weighed in at yesterday. I kept calories low but my carbs were a bit high (90- which is low compared to how I have been eating for months) and I am at 250.2 today. Hahah  Bodies are DUMB!

That is ok though. One day at a time!!!!!

I can finally relax (for now) since I finally started summer break!!! We have been out since 5/29 but I have been going everyday still working on my internship. I have completed my 120 hours of internship at my school as of 6/19. 

I have 3 classes for summer and I have 100% completed one of them. In my internship class I just have four things left to do. In my third class I have 3 tests left to take. The lowest score is dropped- I can get a 0 of 25, 8 of 25, and 8 of 25 and still pass this class business law class. I am to the point that I don't give a crap if my grade is a C. Which it would be a 70 on the nose if I did that. I will of course aim for higher than that on my test scores. 

Last class is in fall A!!!  I am so excited and ready to be DONE!

I have 16 days until surgery and I am nervous! I have 16 days of summer break at least till then. Technically I do not go back till 8/7 for work and like 8/14 for school but from 7/7 on I will be in recovery from surgery. The plan is laparoscopic but who knows what they will find in there due to 3 c-sections. 

I mentioned in my last post I had done a thing. I signed up in April to take the Florida subject area test for Business Education 6-12. I couldn't find much to study with and was a bit worried about it. My county is supposed to send test materials when you prove you signed up for test ($150 to sign up) but they said they were out of the book and new ones wouldn't be in by time I test.  ARGH! I ended up connecting with someone on reddit who made their own study guide with AI and they shared it with me. I bought a 100 question test bank on Teachers Pay Teachers. The night before I finally found the Quizlet study guides. I couldn't find them till I backtracked questions from the TPT thing. Then I found hundreds more sample questions. Quizlet after quizlet of possible questions.

 I was so very nervous! $150 is a lot of money to blow and fail a test. 

I took the test in Gainesville at a testing center. I was given scrap paper and a sharpie but no calculator. There were money math questions on the test! DO you know how long it has been since I have done long division or long multiplication?? I used two whole pages of the scrap paper trying to work out one question!!  Hah I had to narrowed down to two answers. Some questions I knew the answer to from my schooling, some I made educated guesses on, and some were a wild guess. Out of the hundreds of questions I studied, there were 2 of them on the test I had. 😐

When I left they gave me the paper with the score folded so I did not know the outcome. I walked outside and opened the test hoping for a PASS but knowing it might be a FAIL. I saw the outcome when I opened it and immediately my eyes teared up.

PASS

I went to my car and just sat there for a few. Then I called my husband and told him the news. I also told him that question that I was stuck on and used two papers for scratch. He told me how to do it on a calculator in like 5 seconds. I picked the right answer!!!  LOL  I then sent a picture of the pass to many people and posted it to Facebook. 

I do no have a Bachelor or a temporary teaching license but I am considered highly qualified by the State of Florida to teach Business Education 6-12.  😂😂😂
