Ugh, seriously!!!
I'm so seriously behind on posting. I just don't have time anymore, which pretty much anyone who knows me knows. Blech. Somehow, I'm managing to keep on top of everything but it's hard work and it's exhausting and this is just the way it is until December 12. So. Deal. That's all. Um. So yeah, I had my first observation last week. It went well. My supervisor said my lesson was great and I had good accommodations and modifications for some of my students and the one from Pakistan who doesn't speak English. She was impressed with what I'm doing. I was a little frustrated by something that wasn't my fault, but I recognized that it wasn't my fault and that I rolled with things the best I could given the situation. Then after lunch I treated myself to one of my dark chocolate Dove squares and inside the wrapper it said _____________. I kind of laughed to myself and kept it because I'm a dork.
The week went by very quickly and suddenly it was the weekend. Friday night Colin and I went to dinner and then back to his place to watch movies/TV, whatever. But then I fell asleep between 9 and 10 and he kept trying to wake me just to make sure I was alive because he got worried when I wouldn't budge after a while. He also got a little worried when he had to extract him arm from beneath me and pull out from under the part of my body that was lying on him and I didn't even stir. Oops. I was tired! Then he woke me at 1 and then finally at 3:30 I woke up and had to get home. I came home and passed out again until around 11. I never realize how utterly exhausted I am until the weekend hits and I actually can sleep in. Between student teaching, senior seminar, and babysitting when I can, I really don't get much sleep.
My next observation is next Monday and tomorrow I'm on my own because Kath is going to be at an in-service. She'll have a sub in her place, but she said I should take advantage of her absence to just take things over. I'm glad because I need it, but I know I'm going to be really pretty nervous and by tomorrow afternoon I'll be exhausted.
So. October already. I'm starting to get into Autumn mode. I want to make Jack-O-Lanterns and things. I picked up caramel at the store the other day to make caramel apples. Maybe David will actually EAT one this time. Ah-hem! I have no idea what to dress as for work. I'm thinking I'll just do the cowgirl thing again like I did last year. Who cares, right? Ugh, I just don't have the creativity in my head for much. And I can't be spending money on costumes this year.
Sooooo yeah. I don't have much else to report unfortunately. Sorry. Just same old busy me.
