It's been a while.... Student teaching is in full swing. I've been there for about 2 months or so. I don't even know anymore. Student teaching is such an interesting experience. I am really happy to be doing it. There are definitely good days and bad days.... not necessarily because of the students. I love the students they are crazy and wonderful and cool. The good and bad days are usually based on my preparedness, my sleep or lack there of, my colleagues... ect. All things considered I am enjoying this experience. Do I want a job teaching next year? I don't know, I'm not sure. It wouldn't be the worst thing ever. I am sending out applications for teaching jobs in the fall. I have also applied to graduate schools. So far, I've been accepted to UTSA and that is exciting :) I am waiting to hear from Hunter. They are certainly keeping me on my toes. Its really between UTSA and Hunter at this point, they both have there ups and downs. I'm really just not ready to start my career. I have my whole life to work. I want to continue to dick around an be a student, is that really so absurd??
I can't wait for graduation and summer and to have my life back. This summer, I want to work and make some money of course; I also want to hit up some music festivals, take a creative writing class, and hit the beach!
I had big dreams this weekend, I hoped to be practically done with my work sample for my student teaching seminar, but obviously they didn't happen, so I am setting a more realistic goal. Today I would like to finish the Learning Goals section of my work sample, formally write up one more of the lesson plans that I am including in my work sample, and finish the assignment for next week's seminar...unfortunately, there are a million other things I would like to do, but there are not enough hours in the day.
I missed LJ, I will have to write again, real soon.
adios.
