Tomorrow is the first day of school with actual students that are my full responsibility. I'm not half as nervous as I was about it 2 weeks ago... but there is still so much I don't know. Things that I will forget about and have to say "woops... I screwed up. I'll get it next time." But I think that's inevitable ( Read more... )

gesh! I guess student teaching made me to busy to write in this amazingly important livejournal. I'm pretty much done though... so I guess I have time to write now. I can definitely say it was a great experience. I learned a lot and I definitely feel ready for my own classroom now ( Read more... )

Just got out of the shower. Sitting in a towel. Seems like an opportune time to update, no ( Read more... )

I've only been student teaching for 2.5 weeks today, and already we have had 2 early outs, 1 late start, and 2 snow days. That means that about 38% of the days that I have been at WBMS have been effected by snow in some way. Crazy. I haven't seen a winter like this in... hmm.. I don't know... ever. It's true. The world is ending in 2012. But at ( Read more... )

Writing an LJ was not on my mile long list of things to do today, but I de-activated my facebook account so I have to get my fill in some how.

So why am I? ... not really sure. Basically I'll be working ( Read more... )

"Oh....we got a desk for you!! You have your own little section of the room to call your own. I told one class you were coming today. They seemed excited." -From an e-mail from my cooperating teacher in West Branch ( Read more... )

People always tell dream stories, but I feel like I can never tell mine and make them seem as real as it was to me. The other day my brother had a dream that I died and he said he was woke up and devastated for a while because it felt so real. That's kind of touching... to know that he really cares. I love that kid ( Read more... )

It's that time of year to look back at my goals of this past year and see how I did ( Read more... )

Bought season 4 of the l-word today. I forget how much I love this show. Beth and I almost made it through the whole season. 3 episodes left which we will finish tomorrow. Can I just say Bett and Jodi = hott? I remember thinking this before, but now I think I have these thoughts even more since I'm having similar life experiences ( Read more... )
