You drive me crazy, I just can't sleep
seriously, I can't. Student teaching definitely keeps me up at night. but a lot of that has to to with the fact that I am an insane perfectionist and i play things (things in this case being lessons) out in my head and if I feel like it might not go right, i go into freak out mode. I tend to go into freak out mode a lot which is something i really really need to work on. i just asked my mom for some alcohol haha, so i'll be able to sleep tonight, without waking up randomly in the night. but i did take an advil pm which puts me to sleep so i'll wait for that to settle and get a good night's sleep.
anyway, i'm just annoyed because i talked to my supervisor today about my lesson tomorrow. she'll be there to observe and i have to include some sort of hands on activity. my co-op teacher told me a few weeks ago that she understands that i want to get into the hands on stuff, but to hold off until the kids actually know the material. ugh so i'm being pulled both ways. i created a lesson that incorporates both so hopefully everyone is happy. at the end of the day the one whose opinion matters is my supervisor because she is the one giving me my grade so i have to do what she says. i just want everything to go well though.
the nice part is that today one of the students was like "it's science time? yay!" i teach science and as someone who has been terrified of the subject all my life, it makes me feel amazing that someone is excited for my lessons haha.
i hope all is well with you f-list. i don't talk or comment much but i really am truly busy. i don't even go on ONTD that much. yeah i know. but i am so close to graduation, so i just need to get this done.
