Teacher Week '13: Let's Talk About Me

It's time for Teacher Week '13!

Today,

1.  I am getting married in just under a year to the greatest guy!  I could not be more excited!!!!!
2. I am getting ready to start my third year teaching 4th grade.  I love the curriculum and seeing the kiddos personalities blossom.  I could live without the girl drama.
3. I decided that I wanted to be a teacher when I was 6 years old.  Until my junior year of college, I thought my dream age to teach would be preschool or kindergarten.   Now, I love my upper graders!
4. I played water polo in high school and college (and did swim team in high school).  Now, I'm working on teaching myself to like running (which I have always HATED - hence the water sports).
5. I love to sew, but don't make time for in enough.  I've been working on a quilt made of all my swimming and water polo T-shirts for about 3 years now ...
6. I majored in creative writing in college. 
7. I'm an only child.
8. I like/need to sleep a LOT.  I basically can't function on less than 7 hours.  I can easily sleep 10-11 hours if I don't set an alarm!
9.  I have always been ridiculously organized.  Yet, somehow, my classroom is not.  I'm working on that!
10. I keep myself very busy.  My fiancé always says that I don't know how to have free time!

I'm excited for the rest of Teacher Week.  Unfortunately, I will have to skip tomorrow's link up because my room is not ready enough to show! :(  I'll be showing it sometime next week probably!  I can't wait to learn more about all of you and see your classrooms tomorrow!
