Burnt Orange, like a real Longhorn.

I am about to embark on the craziest, most stressful month of my entire life. I am in the process of completing my last ever semester at the University of Texas while also concurrently enrolled in Region XIII's teacher program to become a bilingual elementary school teacher.

What awaits me?

You might be wondering why I would torture myself with all of this stress. The answer to that is simple. I wanted to be hired once I graduated. I did not want to be one of the 50% of college graduates who who are jobless or underemployed. Thankfully, with Region XIII's help, I secured a contract with a local school district a few months ago. I am not sure where I will be working, but I am willing to work anywhere. I'm just really fortunate that I have a job lined up somewhere.

In a few short weeks, I will be graduating with a Bachelor's of Art in Music with a minor in Spanish and a concentration in Latin American music. I am excited, nervous, and a bit overwhelmed, but I am hoping that it will all work out.

During the next month I must:

• Complete all of my final papers and assignments for my last semester of classes at the University of Texas.
• Practice for and pass my final piano jury in order to graduate.
• Survive my student teaching, which takes place DURING final exams at UT.
• Prepare for interviews with prospective employers.
• Complete course work for my teacher program.
• Begin the process of packing for the Big Move, 'cause we bought our dream house!!!

Needless to say, this blog is not on that list of priorities.

Dress: Asos // Tights: WeLoveColors // Flats: Payless

Earrings: C/O InPink // Necklace: Forever 21

I'll return to blogging once this craziness settles.
I'll see you on the other side!
