Blue and Yellow

Okay- so maybe the title is a play on the Black and Yellow song.
Which, BTW, my buddy posted the link to this Christian version of the song on my wall. Listen to it here.

Anyway, we are doing a teacher professional development workshop tonight and all day tomorrow. Tonight was about getting along and understanding almost anyone.

Anyway, we took personality tests. They were made Anita Reed surveys.

I am yellow-dominant personality. These are the words they used to describe yellow:
-Expressive
-Extremely Friendly
-Never meets a stranger
-Need contact
-A friend to all
-Always willing to help you with your problems
-Drive a big vehicle (yes, I drive an SUV Crossover!) which will be able to haul a LOT of people
-Operates best with people
-People-oriented
-Will talk to everyone and anyone.
-Very extravagant.
-Eternal optimist
-No rear view mirrors
-Fun
-Dynamic
-Plan all the parties
-Social director
-Likes group activities

My 2nd dominant personality was blue.
Here are the blue characteristics:
-Creative
-Sincere
-Caring
-Loyal
-Understanding
-Open-minded
-Different
-Sweethearts of personalities
-Come out of things sobbing (paid mourners)- Feel emotions
-Misunderstood
-Fearful of criticism
-Want understanding
-Might sing you a song (DEFINITELY me)
-Ambiance
-"Let's smell the flowers along the way."
-Enjoys life
-Cries easily- for instance, when the organ at church simply begins playing (yep, that's happened before).
-Gets their toes stepped on
-Specialized skills
-Needs hugs

I would say, this personality test was pretty accurate. We got into our color groups and planned a back to school event. The leaders observed that the yellow was the group that was the loudest, having the most fun, laughing, and in total pandemonium of fun.

Yep. That was us. I loved that group.

The idea at the end was that God blesses us in many ways with many people- all colors work together and none is better than the other.

The last two days have been full of many blessings. I don't really know where to start.
-I have had two amazing one on one conversations at dinners the last two night. Seriously, I have met some of the most amazing people in my life here.

-Today was my first day where I taught for nearly the whole day. It went so well! Yeah, there were bumps along the way, but I feel so confident about where I am and where I'm going!

-I got two wonderful (and signed) little reminder notes/letters in the mail. :)

-I found out today that I get Monday off from school! Can we say work day?

-Tonight, our education professors were attending the workshop and one was in the back trying to imitate my laugh. I wasn't offended- I laughed at his attempt!

-Autumn weather is finally here.

-Starting work on my earthworm unit

-My stack of resources from my co-op, classes, professor friends is stacking up and there is so much valuable and good stuff in there! I cannot wait to begin putting it to use in my own classroom!

-I have a great weekend lined up!

-I get to host Eileen Christelow a week from Saturday!

-Did I mention I have an amazing net of support here? Really, I wouldn't be doing so well if it weren't for all of their love and loyalty and friendship to me. And also, all of my blogging friends. :)

-Smiling ear to ear right now!
