fall times
it's rainy and dark. it's october. i just celebrated my birthday with my family. i'm really tired and i wish i had a week to hibernate in a cabin in ligonier with a nice book and good friends.
student teaching is overwhelming. i know i'm far too critical on myself, i've already been told this by my coop teacher and my supervisor, but it's hard to let up b/c i expect so damn much from myself. today during 1st period i knew the kids weren't following me on a certain topic, so i scrapped it, but i hate feeling like i've let them down...i suppose there's always: tomorrow! ;) tomorrow's a brand new day...and just when i was feeling annoyed w/ myself, several students from my late afternoon class came in and were really friendly and inquired why i was missing yesterday (i went home early b/c of sickness/fatigue), and it just reminded me that i have some fans ;)
off to make some tea and begin working for the evening! ;)
