mars attacks!

I feel like it's been awhile, and the last few posts have been relatively meaningless. So here I am. Sitting in a pre-school classroom on my laptop computer.. Today is my last day of practicum. In some ways I'm pretty happy, in others, I know I'll miss this place. I've gotten used to the kids, even though I know that I disagree with some of the practices here. I've come to the discovery that nothing is ever going to be exactly the way I want it, especially in Early childhood education. But these things happen - I think the most valuable thing I've taken from this practicum is just that I've learned to adapt to situations in which I'm not necessarily comfortable. Learned that doing things a different way isn't always bad, just ... different. Either way, I'm not as upset with my practicum as I was when I first arrived. It's a good feeling.
So that's that. Practicum is over in two hours. the best part of that is that I get next week off, and that I don't have to worry about waking up... It killed me this morning to wake up! Not quite sure why.. Oh well. Should be a relatively restful week.
So what's going on in my life? Alot, if you can believe it. Like I said, practicum is almost over. School is on for the next five weeks, after my break - then that's it.. I'll be spening my time from here on out trying to fundraise for mexico. God willing, in July, Im going to leave for Tijuana, and stay there for awhile.. However things don't always work out as planned. Uh - oh.. what are you getting in to, ashley?

So what's up with Mexico - I felt, and I still feel, that Mexico is from God.. I feel like that's where He wants me, that's where I'm headed - and since that's what God wants, I've recently come under some serious attacks - like people telling me that I can't go to mexico.. (I'd say this is serious, Wouldn't you?) But (after a week of being depressed) I've come to realize that I wouldn't be under attack if this wasn't what God wanted from me.

Anyways. I need to go because I am about to start my last two hours of preschool for awhile.

Wahoo....

Lots of love..

Please keep me in your prayers!
