I. First Entry

Hello! And welcome to my blog! My name is Tyla and I am a 27 year old Social Studies Education Major at IUPUI in Indianapolis. This is actually my second college stint. Previously I spent four years at Ball State University before moving back to Indianapolis.

I originated at BSU as a Social Studies Ed major but ended majoring in History and Political Science. After moving back to Indy and spending a few years working as a public servant I have returned to my original desire to teach and thus became enrolled at IUPUI. This is my first semester back, and along with classes I am working two jobs (The first being my full-time job in government and the second as a part-time waitress.). I find classes, school work and work difficult to balance and feel that I am constantly juggling to stay afloat as well as spend time with my very ill mother. But I wouldn't have it any other way. I have complete faith in this insane schedule and the long work hours that it will be worth it in the end and that I'm truly doing something worthwhile.

Setting up this blog was actually fairly easy for me. I have used blogger before and so I am fairly familiar with the setup and the options. I would like to do some more work with the layout and graphics, but feel that what I have currently is working as far as ease of presentation, functionality and professionalism.
