Oof.
So yesterday I went to contact for the first time in probably months, and then I went to trials for my orange belt. I am very sore. But it was great to go to contact. I had been excited for the past two days about the fact that I was finally going. I hadn't realized how much I'd missed it. I'd just been either buried in work, or too exhausted from that to summon the motivation to drag myself off-campus. It was good to go back, and everyone was happy to see me. And I don't even have that many bruises. *grin.
Also, Friday night I went out to dinner and then hung out with some of the other student teachers in celebration (or something) of the end of student teaching, which was nice. We played Cranium, and I had to draw a Chia pet Pictionary-style. It was crazy, but we laughed a lot over it. We also, of course, talked about education, and student teaching, and our fellow student teachers and education students, and any number of other things.
It's kind of strange to think I'm finished with student teaching. Time has been weird. Individual days and weeks seemed like they dragged on forever sometimes, but the semester as a whole has gone by very quickly. I've gotten a lot better. Also a strange thought. It's strange to know that I'm not going to get up at 6 in the morning on Monday to go teach. I wasn't finished. I don't know how to explain it. There was still more to be done, and I can't do it. I suppose I'll have to get used to that. It'll probably happen every year.
Well, I am not going to get all pensive now. I have things to do. Hopefully including getting backrub from someone. *grin. Oooh, and getting books from Mai-Anh. Finally. Yay! And job-searching, and applying to Governor's School, and cleaning and catching up on finances and signing up for my Praxis and VCLA...yep, plenty to do.
Much love, guys. I'll talk to you later.
