Needing to get some things out there into the abyss of cyberspace
So last night's strange noises turned out to be Mom transferring school choir videos on the TV downstairs. I didn't even know she was still up, but it does explain the eerie singing I thought I heard.
And I'm up late enough again tonight that I'm sure I'll have some sort of anxiety attack and go even more insane than last night. Hopefully I'll make it through all the typing I need to do. I'm already exhausted and I've got at least an hour to go, probably more.
After a couple of really fun lessons last week today's English class was awful. Of course the advisor was there to see that lesson and not the fun ones. And Biology went well for my first day, but there's still tons of room for improvement.
I think what I hate most about student teaching is the fact that I feel like I'm doing a disservice to the students as I struggle to understand the material and then struggle to present it in an interesting way. I really enjoy making the lesson plans and doing the research. I just suck at making my ideas actually work, which is really frustrating.
If I can't do anything and I can't teach, I guess I'm just destined to administrate!
