Today was the first day of the credential program. It sounded like a lot of information, but I think it will be okay. I don't feel like it will be too overburdening. I mean, I won't be working one of my jobs and that was the job that took the most hours out of my day. They wanted me to be there for every spare minute I was available. As much as I kind of wish I could have stayed, I can't and that's the bottom line. I am officially on my mom and step-dad's pay role; at least until summer rolls around.
The orientation was good. We basically were introduced to the head people as well as the block leaders. We were told the whole deal about how CSUF's credential program is the best and how we should be proud that we were able to get ourselves to this point because it shows we "care about our futures." After the general orientation, we met with our individual blocks and mine was in the library, where most of my classes will be taking place. I have never had a class in the library, so it should be interesting. We had lunch after our orientation and then had our math methods class until 4. Luckily traffic wasn't as bad as I remembered it when I used to get out around 3 a couple semesters ago. I think it will be manageable and if I get out of fieldwork at 2:30 or so, I shouldn't be too bad off.
Tomorrow I have to wake up, call this lady named Lesley at the Orange Unified School District, and find out once and for all what the exact criteria is for substitute teaching and to make an appointment for checking in. I didn't know we even needed an appointment until she emailed me back today. My supervisor said we just needed to go there ASAP, but no worries. I will just call and find out. I also want to try and get a hold of my master teacher too.
Anyways, I am not too stressed out about stuff. I am trying to take a nice and steady approach to things and I hope that with the support of my family, boyfriend, classmates, and professors, I will do the best job I can with minimal problems. I feel I will do fine. I just have to find confidence within myself and I will do well.
Last but not least, when I got home Gerry was already waiting for me because he had class early and got out at 3. We watched a bit of TV and then drove to find him thermals and then eat dinner. Like always, the thermal search went with no success. After trying Wal-Mart, Mervyns, and Target, nothing was to be found. I think he should just try to get some online and if they don't fit, send them back. It will save more time than going from store to store. Anyways, after the failed search, we went to Banana Bay and had Patay, Pad Thai, and these shrimp balls (hehe, I know that sounds funny)....oh yea, and Thai Iced Tea!
That reminds me...I might try and go to Lollicup tomorrow. I forget that I am just up the hill from it and I could use a good boba smoothie!
