I think ... or at least I'm planning on beginning to write again. As nerdy as this can be.... Always, after writing an entry I would feel a sense of calmness. It seems that just by putting thoughts into words would release any anxiety I would have.. and sense stress is like my best friend right now, I think this will be good for me. Now, I may just not be interested in writing any more... after the large large papers I've been writing, but I'll see. I'm making really long run-on sentences... and I love it, I can get away with it on here. This also seemed to help me write much quicker... which while I can write about three typed pages in an hour... it wouldn't hard to practice putting my thoughts into words.
I'm over half way done before I graduate again. I just need to make it. Every day it seems like I get these anxious thoughts of... am I going to make it?... Can I do it?... Will I be a good teacher? I want so much to accomplish all of these things. TO look back at what I have accomplished this year it does make me a little proud. I just got my scores back and I passed both my Praxis exams with flying colors. I was really worried, and I did great. I never would have though I would be doing the things, writing the things, teaching the things, that I can do now. Yet, I know I have still much more to grow. Teaching is a tough profession... really tough. NOt that other professions are not hard... Its just that I know it will constantly kick my butt. I will constantly have questions or how to plan the best instruction, or how to give each individual the opportunies that they deserve. I LOVE education, because I will be given the chance to do some amazing things, and do something worthwhile, respectable, and leave my mark on the world. ITs just that getting to that point is much more difficult then just saying you want to do those things. You actually then have to do them, and it can be really difficult. They say that whatever is good to know is difficult to learn. Well whatever is good to accomplish is difficult to do. I just hope I can live up to it.
This week past week was good. I didn't get to spend valentines with Mike. The roads were just to horrible, and I couldn't make it out to see him. BUT, I was out of school all week, and tomorrow is my first day going back. I had time to get some stuff together. Also, my parents are gone in New Mexico to see my nephew so I've had the house to myself. Mike came and spent some good time with me. On friday we exchanged our presents and he got me this amazing armani code perfume. It smells soooo good. I got him the first two seasons of the old television show the Dinosaurs, and also a George Forman grill. Then last night he took me out the Hyde Park. IT is a gorgeous restaurant, little pricey, but amazing food. It was really nice. :) He's still so great. I constantly wonder why I am so lucky.
I'm go back to field tomorrow. I'm in third grade at North Elementary. My teachers are awesome. They are truly wonderful teachers... I hope I can one day achieve what they are doing. I am team teaching tomorrow a lesson on the assembly line. It should go really well. The students will be making hamburgers out of play dough. One group will be the assembly line where each person makes a part of the hamburger. THe other group will make their burgers individually. HOPEfully, It goes well!!!
