The Spann Spot: Schoooools.OUT.FOR.EVER.

ok. thats not really true...YET! my LAST day of student teaching is tomorrow and i could not be more thrilled!! i haven't been teaching these past two days and me being at school is kinda pointless but thats just how it goes i guess. i had my "work sample" last night, which is just a little portfolio you put together on a unit you taught and then present to the university supervisors down here. i passed, obviously, which means that as of 2:11 tomorrow afternoon I AM DONE WITH STUDENT TEACHING and i am officially a college graduate with a bachelors degree. too bad i wont' be able to get a job...but thats another story.

my time here in vegas has been fun, despite my constant desire to be done student teaching. I have had fun roommates and we have been able to enjoy vegas, the strip, the shopping, and the restaurants fully (ok...maybe not the strip fully, but i think i'm ok with that). this picture is pretty much what i get to look at every single night from the balcony of my apartment. that big building is a huge casino named south point, and its actually kinda pretty at night. there are CONSTANTLY airplanes in the sky seeing as we live like ten minutes from the airport. its actually kinda cool to be so close and i'll probably miss this view a lot when i'm gone.

As a tribute to our last weekend in vegas, my roommates and i went to the Lion King at Mandalay Bay last weekend. i've seen it once before but it was so awesome...even the second time. and even better, we only paid 25 bucks per ticket. i LOVE student discounts. you can bet you're bottom dollar that i'll be keeping my byu idaho student id card and milking it until i no longer can.

getting ready to go in.
if you haven't seen the Lion King, SEE IT. its amazing!!

I'm heading home on sunday and these two faces below are two of the many reasons that i am SO excited to leave vegas. i mean...how cute are these kids???
