Brain Dead...
Quite offically the first day of school, which still doesn't end for me for another 3 ish hours. I hope less, that this teacher decides he doesn't want to spend 3 hours in class the very first day. Night. *dies*
I have, in the words of Travis, spent more time in a practice room today than in an actual class room, which is likely how it is going to be until May. The classes that I had just seem to be like study breaks... something about that is slightly sick. At least there seems to be music dept ppl in the 2 credential classes I have.
The beginning of this class is not altogether promising... the guy has a worse canned speech intro than TTA at a band banquet. And then we get attendance.... bleh. And an ice breaker. Not so impressive. Maybe I relate all of these classes to how they can and will help me be a teacher, but I think that is kind of the point. I will get to know the kids over the course of the school year, starting with name tags on their stands and continuing through sectionals.
BTW, it never ceases to amaze me... At least the lady I was ice breaking with thought I was 18, and not 12. But when I told her I was a music major, she asked me how I like flute.... >.<
No.
The teacher just came back and might actually start teaching something now. Maybe. Nope. We're just presenting what we ice broke. Which is supposed to be "stimulating" but I am a horrible person Who Doesn't Care about your first three marriages or about how your job as a construction broker just didn't work out. Just hand me the syllabus and let me go home. *grumble grumble grumble*
