Today was better
Today was a lot better. The kids actually know my name (HOLLA) and I am starting to get to know them a little bit too.
My teacher said that I was a "natural" and that I didn't "look like a rookie teacher." Phew! Could have fooled me! ;) But I was happy that he said that! He also said that he was a lot more worried about his last student teacher. So that made me feel a lot better. We talked for two hours-- and mostly debated about the war in Iraq. I think I need to do some research on the war. Anyway-- I had a goal not to say anything about the war-- but I just can't help it when someone is always saying how stupid Bush is and how corrupt he is. :( Luckily-- I think he likes arguing with me and we seem to be getting along better and better every day. It doesn't really make sense-- but it seems that way. We'll see! Let's hope for no Iraq or Bush talk tomorrow!!
I am still stressed out-- but I feel a lot better thanks to my new carpool buddy! CHRIS! :-D He picks me up @ 6:45AM and we get to work by 7 and then go home @ 3:30! Yayyyy! Actually- we go to the gym-- and THEN go home. I've worked out 4 days in a row and I can already tell that I am going to have to give up teaching early to start my fitness modeling career. Haha.. Yah right.
Anyway- we'll see how tomorrow goes-- first lecture and I am teaching them about economics.
