My first "real" adult moment...
So, I am completely and officially a teacher! Today was my first day as a working, certified teacher. Of course, it was a teacher institute day, so I didn't actually have any students...but I still felt all teacher-y working at my desk and setting up my room. I think the weirdest part of the day though was when I was sitting in my staff meeting looking at my principal (who is really nice to look at btw) and I realized that out of all the people they interviewed for my job...they picked me. Me. Weird. I'm a teacher, I'm a part of a staff, I laughed and shared jokes and felt like a real teacher...a real adult. It was a brief moment, but it totally blew my mind.
So tomorrow is really the big day, though. Tomorrow is my first day with students. People keep asking me if I'm nervous, but it's strange, the nerves kind of come and go. I'm really well prepared and I know I'll be fine, but I'll keep on being nervous in little waves until the beginning stuff is over. I like this new feeling though...I can get used to this adult thing I think. :)
