A New Chapter

Jun 11, 2009 21:21

Well, the glow from graduation is beginning to fade, and I am realizing that I actually have a Bachelors degree. I have had a couple of weeks off now, and I think I'm ready to dive back in and get to work. A lot of things have happened in regards to school all at once today. My head is still spinning, but it's kind of a good feeling ( Read more... )

Thanks! I'm really excited about all of it!

I hope your finals are over soon?

Tomorrow afternoon is my last one. Then I have a week off, then back for more.

I totally know that feeling!

At least you get a week off, though, and you're getting closer!

Very cool! Where are you going to be Student Teaching? Super cool about the subbing possibility!

BTW- I sent my mom a Deadliest Wedding card, and she mentioned James' "biting sacrcasm." Biting sarcasm is why she didn't persue a teaching carreer. She worked as a sub in Kentucky, but found that when she became frustrated, some really amazingly nasty things would just pop out of her mouth. For the most part it was stuff that went over the kids heads, but smart kids are everywhere.

The moral of the story? Don't be my mom, I guess...But then, you aren't, so I think you'll be a great, non-sarcastic teacher!

I'm going to be student teaching at Mountain View Middle School in Bonney Lake. I got my assignment today, and I'll be with a 6th grade teacher, teaching language arts/social studies. Although I'm pretty sarcastic, I think I can hold it in while I'm at school. And being that it's a physical impossibility, I think I'm in the clear!
