quickies...
Yeah right...I wish! ;)
Just a few things:
1. Is it weird that every time I get ready to walk down the steps to my apartment I envision myself falling? I hate to jinx myself by typing this, but it just seems like once I get antsy about something that means it's lurking around the corner . . . getting ready to bite me in the ass. If I fall down these steps I'm gonna have some major problems . . . .
2. I finally watched American Idol last night. Both Tuesday and Wednesday night episodes. I like it enough to continue watching. I much prefer dancing shows to singing shows. This is in part because horrible dancing is funny; horrible singing is nerve-wracking!! However, I find both Simon and Randy to be too incredibly mean. Like, I know it's for entertainment purposes, but in a lot of cases it was completely uncalled for! For instance, the one woman that said she needed water and the response was that she could "lay in a bathtub with her mouth open and it wouldn't do her any good." No sense in that. Tell her not to bother, tell her no thank you, but no need for the terrible insult. Ah whatever, I guess that's what America likes huh? At any rate, I will continue watching.
3. I had my second observation of the semester today!! That's good because it means I only have ONE MORE to go . . . Mr. Adams!! I'm not too worried about having him in the room to watch . . . he does that often anyway. And then one more interview (which will make me a tad bit nervous if I let it) and then I am officially through with TEAM!! Honestly, I have to say that I'm pretty confident at this point. The areas I needed to improve on were demonstrated to near perfection in the lessons I chose to teach while both observers were there. Now I suppose I need to let Mr. Adams see me instructing the students in centers. That can go either way with my class so I'm not sure what I want to do at this point. A good point to having a flexible schedule . . . I can do whatever I please whenever I please and it won't appear that I'm altering it for his sake! :) ALMOST FINISHED!!!
4. I don't wanna go to Leadership tomorrow!!! Thankfully there are only three more weeks to go, but even that seems like an eternity. I wish I could skip a class but that won't happen because we have stupid ass role playing assignments every week. I hope I never ever ever see this woman again!!!
5. I'm supposed to meet with a group of strangers for dinner at the Cazbah on Thursday. Hmmm . . . what are the chances of me going? Should I? I need to branch out! I can't wait til Friday to see what kinda fun trouble the teachers of PV can get themselves into. :)
