Finally finished my last paper of the semester...
So I finally finished the last paper of my first semester in the Master's of Education program. I have rarely been so happy to be done with an assignment. It was a massive paper which, as always, I wrote in two days right before it was due.
This program is supposed to be teaching me to be a teacher. I don't feel like I've learned much. It is a 15 month program and once I start something I finish it, but I possitively do not enjoy this like I used to enjoy my communication classes. I miss THINKING about things and being challenged (not just by deadlines and bs research papers).
If I do end up teaching, I hope to have a class like those I used to take rather than those I am taking now. Sadly, I know that if I teach in the public school system it will be difficult to reach this goal. I miss my education. The real one.
I went out with a few classmates tonight and had a wonderful time gossiping and swaping stories, but it simply didn't compare to hanging out with my old cohorts where discussions of philosophy and rhetoric were necessarily weaved through our conversations.
*sigh*
I'm in school full-time and still miss school. This is weird.
