i love special education.

i have opened this window many times in the last week.  i had great dreams of writing some meaningful posts about Waiting for Superman or the mandatory meeting my house is having.  big posts about responsibility.  and yet now, when i am choosing to write, is when i have something that doesn't require a lot of intense thought.  so welcome to my brain right now...

i am sitting in the curriculum library.  it is my home away from home this semester.  all of us crazy education majors get together to write lesson plans, complain about workloads, embrace each other's uniqueness, and laugh at the silly things the school-aged children say.

right now, there are four people here: myself, someone i was supposed to graduate with, someone who transferred to the school, and a fellow sped major.  it makes me think of the journeys we all take to get to where we are today.  there have most likely been paths with road blocks and speed bumps.  and today, i've made the conscious effort to embrace those imperfections.

i am incredibly blessed by my fellow DEPS and Spedettes.  they are the few that have kept me moving forward, laughing through the misery and working through the stress and sleeplessness.  i can't imagine life without these amazing people (and their whacked out sense of humor)!
