Amazing
I have the most amazing best friend EVER. Yesterday I got a message from her and she sounded really depressed and told me that she'd call me at 6 and she really wanted to talk to me. So I was a bit worried, and so about 5 minutes into our phone conversation, I turn around and she popped into my room! It was probably the best surprise I've ever gotten. I thought she was still at her Mayterm down in Pensacola and she lied to me by telling me that she was still there until the end of May and she came home early!!!! Ahhhh!!!! I was jumping up and down and I love her so so much.
Yesterday was my first day of fieldwork. I was a little nervous, not to meet the teacher or the kids or anything, but because that so many people that I've met here say that fieldwork was such a wake up call to them that they do not want to be a teacher. I've had my heart set on being a Lutheran school teacher since I was 12, plus earlier this year, I felt called by God to be a teacher. So if that was suddenly shattered and I hated being in the classroom, I don't know what I would have done. But being there for 2 hours totally brought all the memories back from cadet teaching last year. Last year was amazing and I'll always remember that class, but I think I'm going to like this one even more simply because it is a Lutheran school. I have never really been in a Lutheran elementary classroom besides for the one in Hartland, and I love being there - it gets me so excited to be a teacher. I think I'm going on a field trip with them next Friday to Greenfield Village, and if that works out, it should be a fun time.
Tomorrow is Mother's Day and I still don't know what I'm going to do for my mom! Argh.
