Praise God for (in no particular order):
- beautiful 60 degree weather in Philly in January (I'm actually scared for how hard real winter is going to hit us here...)
- a week of just student teaching before classes start tomrorow
- opportunity to hang out with people before real busyness hits
- parents who are forgiving and patient
- alarm clocks
- winter sales
- God teaching me to have self control in terms of spending money
- a sister-in-Christ who isn't sick of me yet after spending 3 straight days together (haha)
- a boyfriend who isn't jealous of the forementioned sister :-P
- cell phones and free weekend minutes :-D
- God-honoring music (and a Ruckus system that allows me to download that!)
- a roof over my head, bed to sleep on, blankets to keep me warm
- gloves, ear muffs, and hats that will be used eventually
- home-made sorbet
- tiramisu
- visitor deals at a mall because my driver's license is from California ^_^
- food to eat
- Happy Hours
- Trader Joe's
- encouraging classroom mentor
- smart fourth graders (lol)
- time to spend with God
- church
and much more that I can't think of right now
