Your Ideal Relationship is Serious Dating

You're not ready to go walking down the aisle.
But you may be ready in a couple of years.
You prefer to date one on one, with a commitment.
And while chemistry is important, so is compatibility.
What's Your Ideal Relationship?

You Are 20% Boyish and 80% Girlish
Even if you're not a girl, you're very feminine.
You're in touch with your feelings, and your heart rules you.
A bit of a emotional roller coaster, one moment you're up and the next you're down.
But no matter what, you try to be as cute and perky as possible.
How Boyish or Girlish Are You?

I do, don't I? Even when I'm bummed... I'm still trying to smile. I don't know about perky though. ;) Perky is annoying. I prefer the term "high in spirits". But yeaaaaah. I already knew I was more feminine, I just needed to take a quiz to verify that. :)

In junior field experience I'm required to keep a daily journal... of everything: things that went wrong in my lesson, students, how I'm feeling, what I could be doing better, etc. I just finished writing one from this past Tuesday - and I wanted to share a part of it:

"Teaching so far has been interesting. While I am a theatre person, this is so different for me. Getting up on a stage in front of 18,000 people (like I did last May) and performing is so different than getting up in front of 23 7 year-olds and trying to instill in them knowledge, morals, values,self confidence, and good judgement. I had thought the two were very similar, but now I’m learning just how different they are. When I’m performing, I’m not myself. I’m someone else, a character that I have clearly established in every way. I think like them, talk the way I believe they would, and move in a distinct manner. But in front of these children I’m me: Susan Halmi. And I need to be the best person I can be, because every moment I have with them counts. Because some of these children go home to nothing. And many times, the teacher is more of the parent than the actual parent/guardian.
But Stephanie [my cooperating teacher] has mentioned before, that they DO overlap and they need to overlap because children need to be exposed to different aspects of art. I learned of theatre in grammar school and I’ve developed a passion for it in every way - and all I would love to do is pass that love of the theatre on to one child and I would be happy - I would have succeeded. Stephanie said she would love to have me do some kind of drama lesson at the end of the year - just something to open their eyes to the many different things that are open to them. Music and art are almost always offered in schools, but drama and theatre is just as important, and yet neglected by school boards. Children are all different. And they need to find a way to express themselves. Some will do it through sports, or writing, or music, or art... but what about the children who need to express it vocally AND physically? They need me to show them that. And I love it."
