My First Blog Post

Hello, everyone! This is obviously my first blog post, so just stick with me as I figure all of this out.

I'll start with a little bit about myself. I have a dog named Katie. I adopted her from the Tallahassee Animal Service Center in 2014, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I love all animals, but I am not ashamed to admit that I am a "crazy" dog lady! I also really like cooking, baking, and crafting. I'm a perfectionist and a bit OCD (maybe more than a bit), so I love organization as well--you will probably be able to tell in later blog posts.

I am from Orlando, Florida, but I have been attending Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida for the past couple years. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education, and I am currently working on my Master's Degree in Reading and Language Arts Education. I decided to knock out grad school instead of jumping right into teaching, so I likely won't be teaching until the 2016-2017 school year. However, I have been substitute teaching throughout grad school to pass the time.

I have wanted to be a teacher since I was a little kid, so I am constantly thinking about all things related to teaching. This will be the main focus of my blog. At times, I might also post things related to my dog, cooking, or crafting. Hopefully at least some of the information I share with you all will be helpful. Well, we'll see where this goes...
