Kate Update
Hello e-world!
i haven't updated in forever because I got a new computer and then forgot the passowrd to my Livejournal! Alors!
I finally figured it out and now I can let you all know what's been going on in my life.
I spent the summer doing some really intense on-the-job teacher training before they shoved me into a classroom in August. We taught at the Holly Springs summer school, and it was great. Very relaxing. It was a great summer in all, the group is amazing, and I love everyone in MTC with me. It's really amazing that we all ciicked so well. and worked together so well. It's definitely a great experience, if only for the people in it.
Most of the people, however, aren't with me on my day-to-day job at Byhalia High School. I love my school, and my administration is patchily supportive, but they are great and always behind me against parents or kids. I love my kids, I can't help it, they're great, most of the time. I just have to keep them busy.
My days go up and down like a roller coaster. Some days I feel on top of the world and somedays I feel like I'm hanging by a thread. I hate it, I love it, I'm going nuts. I hate being responsible for so many people other than myself. I just want to go back to the days where what I did only affected me. I miss the days where my being late to class didn't matter to anyone but me. Now if I'm late it not only makes my class less easy to control, but it puts them behind my other classes. But I love it when I get it right.
I miss my famliy, and i want to go home to see them, but I don't think I'll see OS for a time to come.
I'm also semi-involved with a wonderful, brilliant, kind man. He still lives in Mexico, but as soon as he gets a visa, he wants to come see me and meet my family. I'm only semi-involved because he is not a Christian yet. He goes to church every week and loves it and reads his bible every day and prays all the time, but he has not yet made that committment. i'm a little glad, because i'm scared I won't measure up in my walk to the awesome, Godly man I can see that he will be.
This week at school is Homecoming. I'm giving a test on Tuesday. Right now, I'm enjoying the calm before the storm.
