new to this

Where do I begin? I'm new to blogging, but not new to the online journaling thing. I've been a member of livejournal for...four years? But blogging just seems different. After enjoying several blogs on here, mostly http://www.flipflopsandapplesauce.com/ and http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/, I decided to try my hand at this thing. We'll see how it goes.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Shannon, I am 21 and live in Southern Maryland. I graduated with honors from high school in 2005. I have two associate degrees, one in elementary education and one in early childhood education. I will be continuing school this fall after taking a semester off in between associates and bachelors. I started at the St. Mary's County Recreation and Parks Licensed Extended Day/Youth Camps in October 2007 as senior staff (now called child care teacher) and worked for one year in the infant/toddler room. On October 1, 2008 I moved to a pre-school room located in an elementary school. My coworker and friend Heather and I are in charge.

I am at that point of my life where I'm no longer a kid (flip flops) but not quite an adult (martinis) even though I will be 22 at the end of the year. I am a mix of adult and child, girly girl and tomboy, naive and experience, weak and strong, and free spirit and responsible worker. Here's my life, my work, and everything else I come across.
