I made it through the entire semester of my assessment class without missing a single one. I swear, I am the only person who can say that. This was my thinking on Thursday when I decided not to go. Really, I figured I was entitled after sitting through four hours a week sitting in class and not learning a damn thing. So I cut the class. What ( Read more... )

I gotta say it. I'm not happy being back at the University. I knew I was going to be unhappy to be back... But I wasn't ready for how much my entire body rejected being here. I mean, maybe it was because I now know what I was missing. I know what it feels like to be doing what I have been striving so hard to reach ( Read more... )

When doing your first round of student teaching you do a week of observation, followed by the last week of school and finals. After all of that, then you get to do your month of student teaching. I don't know why they do it that way. It's not in my power to ( Read more... )

Ok, so I'm dying. I'm being buried under the course load. I thought I was doing so good! But things seem to change at the drop of a hat all the time.

I only had one question left to do ( Read more... )

The only thing that I am worried about is what the heck do I study? I don't know what I am supposed to know for the midterm and what is just important knowledge for ( Read more... )

So today was a much better day of classes than last day. I can already tell that Tuesdays and Thursdays lol I totally typed that as Thrustdays at first. wtf In the morning I have Inclusion and in the afternoon I have Assessment, both of which are ed psych classes on how these practises can affect learning. The teachers in my Ed Psych classes are ( Read more... )

So I just talked to a friend of mine. It turns out that my fears were all for nought. I'm in all the classes that I need to be. I'm only in four and I thought I was supposed to be in five so I was worried. But the other class I registered for is my field experience and I won't be doing any of that until the start of March so no worries there. It's ( Read more... )

All my assignments are done! Eeeheeheehee! Now I can get down to the important stuff! Like I need to clean and reorganize my room. I'll have to study of course. But now I can get down to writing as well! You have no idea how long I've been wanting the chance to write something non-academic. But a bunch of you are students, so maybe you do. LOL ( Read more... )
