Well, my three weeks of teaching are three classroom days from being over.
And I'm completely in love with it. I don't mind getting up at 5:30 in the morning, or falling asleep at 10:00 PM (or earlier!) My students always make me laugh, and I even enjoy the little tedious things, like repeating the directions 100 times. (Okay, yes, sometimes I get annoyed, but in the end, I know that if they're asking, they're doing good things!)
I can totally see myself being the teacher who gets there at 6:30, leaves at 5 or 6 PM (yes, Mini-Emens, spare me that comment again), has the kids in the room for lunch, coaches and all that stuff. Yes, sometimes I am strict and sometimes I have to send someone to RTC, but today one student told me I was nice...and one hugged me and said "Thank you Ms. bates for helping me with my pamphlet!" One brought me candy from her cooking class, and two told me to have a good weekend without me saying it first. I had to tell one not to hug me because he's ALWAYS hgging on me and while I don't mind, right then I was trying to manage kids and I couldn't have him hanging on me. Am I even allowed to hug them? If they initate it, I think it's okay. I wish I knew.
Life has been...insane. More to say later.
