But I waaaaaant Oonnne!

I want a hedgehog.

Isn't he cuuuute?

But seriously, hedgehogs are adorable. My love for them goes back to elementary/middle school. Ms. Bredekamp had a hedgehog (I'm pretty sure Sonic was his name, but I'm probably mistaken). Anne and I went to her apartment a couple of times and got to play with him. Gosh, he was cute. I wanted one then, but my mom obviously turned that proposition down.

Then, last night, I got to see the second hedgehog of my life, and I was reminded of how cute they are. The little guy was all curled up in a stocking cap, trying to keep warm. He was pretty grumpy when we woke him up, but adorable all the same.

So, basically, I want a hedgehog. Not a dog. Not a cat. Not a fish. Not a bird. Not anything else....a hedgehog.

Pleeeeeaaaaaazzzzeee???

Screw the System

I need a middle school placement.

But why?

I don't want to teach middle school. I all ready know this. And while yes, maybe someday I'll change my mind. Right now, I don't want to. I am choosing not to student teach in middle school, so why do I have to do a practicum in middle school? Everything would work out so much better if I could just do a practicum in the high school with the teacher who has all ready so graciously said, "YES! Yes, Kate! I want you to come and share with me the joy that is teaching!" Gah. So this is what I get for opening my mouth and speaking my desires. Why didn't I just sit idly by and let this university determine my fate as it always does? Then I wouldn't have to screw up the system as I apparently did by raising my hand and saying, "Uh, wait a minute....this doesn't work for me." I'm a burden. A hassle. That's exactly what this change has said to me. If people were more anonymous, then I wouldn't have a problem with this. But they aren't anonymous. I'm screwing up my classmates'semesters through this. Ugh.

A little melodramatic? Yes, I know. But it's Valentine's Day...I can do what I want.
