the weekends keep FLYING past :/

That would not be such a bad thing if the weeks were passing equally as fast. This week I am teaching Reading and Language Arts. I am kind of nervous about teaching from 8- 12... It's the longest I will have ever taught. Tonight I am doing the usual.. heading to the library to print everything for the week and drinking a mountain dew. I was able to get a lot accomplished today, but I didn't go to church. I had to go to Meridian yesterday for a wedding so I decided to stay here this morning and do some stuff at the apartment-like wash clothes since I had NO clean pants. This week is going to be pretty busy, but I guess I better get used to that. I need to practice time management since the days do not appear to be getting any longer. I just need about 3 more hours in the afternoon.. but oh well. Well that's just an update.

It's COLD!

It is freezing today! and tomorrow is supposed to be even colder :/ I am cooking gumbo for dinner tonight! I have been wanting it for a while! I am also cooking peach cobbler.

This week seems to be passing by sooooo slowly. Next week is probably going to fly by since I will actually be teaching. It get quite boring observing all day. I observed the third grade class today that I will have at the end of the semester. They are so cute and so sweet... or at least they were today!

Now it's back to life and lesson plans :)

Day 1 has come and gone...

So it was a little crazy, but in a good way. I like my class. They didn't eat me alive, yet... that will come tomorrow. Well I have officially become an old lady. It's almost 9 and I am about to get in bed - after Bromance goes off.

It's over!

At least for now! Or hopefully for good! I will get my scores back in four weeks. I do not feel good about it, but I do not feel bad either. It was hard... that's basically it. Now I have to move on to student teaching!

Praxis 2

I will be taking the Praxis 2 in less than 12 hours... I'm way way past nervous.

Well I gotta go study a lot more before bed time.

Back to School

- for the last time, as a student... well kind of. I am actually not even considered a student, rather a Teacher Candidate. I'm excited for this semester to come and go, but not too excited for the break to already be over. I will be student teaching this semester at East Oktibbeha Elementary school. I will have sixth grade and third grade. I got my first choices on both placements, so I was extremely thrilled! This Saturday is kind of make or break for me. I have to take the Praxis 2. I am pretty nervous. I have to pass it to get my certificate to teach. On Monday, I went to the Wilkinson County School District office to turn in my resume and ended up filling out my application and having an interview. It was my first real post- college interview. I think it went really well. The superintendent asked me several questions about why I want to teach and why I chose Wilkinson County. He said he could not hire me now, obviously, but after I got my praxis scores to him and my certificate number then he would say I was pretty much a shew in. Wilkinson County is my first choice so I hope I pass this test Saturday so I can breath easy until May 1st.
