Happy Days

First off, I love this theme song. Which was also responsible for the title of this picture.

Today was a happy day. I woke up on time, got three meals ready, did my readings before class, and even research creative writing and photography classes. I've been coming to the realization that although I might feel like i have found my calling in education that does not mean that my other interests have to get shoved to the side. They are actually responsible in part for finding my calling in the first place. For me through my journey to becoming an educator I've come to embody the belief that the goal of education is not mastery of subject matter but mastery of one’s person. Therefore I want to engulf myself in all my interests and grow and master myself. So after I finish paying off my loans, without sacrificing my passion for education, I want to go to school for photography and creative writing. I might change my mind because I don't necessarily want to go to school and get a degree in those fields, but I want to learn more about each craft, it's techniques and values, and apply them to my life's purpose. So I might end up just taking a few classes or workshops here and there and maybe join a writing group! And put together a portfolio just for the sake of putting together a portfolio! Who knows, the world is full of possibilities, and I am as young as I'll ever be.

Later on Ethan and I went out for Rosie's birthday at Hill Country Barbecue Market. It was such a fun experience what with their meal tickets, and serving style. The live music was also really incredible and I fell in love with The Gold Magnolias . :)
