The Unstoppable Three

I did it! I took the Praxis II. I'm very confident about the content knowledge part, but not so confident about the principles of learning and teaching part, it was fairly hard. Whether I pass or fail I feel good knowing that I did it. Besides taking the test on Saturday, I had a really great day. The Unstoppable Three were at it again.

I carpooled with my girl "Hope" and we had an awesome time talking. I met up with her at 6 AM at her house and we talked and watched the scenery as the sun rose. It was great because it has been so long since I've had a friendship where being really honest and sharing secrets is part of the routine. She's just an amazing person and she's so funny and sweet, and I just love her to death. Once we got to town we met up with the third member of the party, "Sunny." The three us of walked in the cold across campus and laughed to relax our nerves. We even did our macho-man pose to try and intimidate the test. (Yes, we're dorks).

After the first part of the test we had a 4 hour break so we went back to Sunny's house and studied for a bit, played with her dogs, met her husband, and generally laughed a whole lot. It was just a great time. We went to lunch and laughed some more and talked about everything under the sun. They helped me get over my freak out about the second part of the test, which is just one more reason why I love them. Afterwards, Hope and I climbed back in her car and had more wonderful conversation as the sun set. Lordy, I swear, now that we've shared the sunset and sunrise in one day together our friendship has reached a whole new level.

I just feel so blessed to have two wonderful friends who I could share the day, and such a trying experience with. I think the three of us being together on Saturday really helped us all cope a little better. I know I'm so lucky to have finally found some great friends.
