my life... not at home ever. :p
so i've been super busy, and am finally settling into the whole student teaching thing. but lets get one thing straight, from the get go my kids have been awesome, and i can already tell that i'm not going to want to leave some of them. at first i kind of found it hard, part of it may have been adjusting to the long 84 mile round trip commute, or the whole having the flu that kicked my ass so hard the first week, or the whole being gone from my house for 12 hours straight every day with the exception of fridays. but overall i think i'm finally settling into this, and am really enjoying it. working in this high school is making me realize more and more that i really want to teach, and that i really want to teach art to high school kidoos. i would absolutely love to go back and teach at my alma mater. i really don't want to except the possibility of that not being an option. i am really determined to get back there and really kick these kids into shape. i've been talking about this for 4 years now, and everytime it comes up i get more and more passionate about the topic. i really think that i can get my school's reputation back. i think that i can change these kids lives for the better. perhaps i'm being an optimistic idealist, or maybe i'm just being honest.
