Internship: Almost over.... thank GOD.  I just want my own classroom.  I'm sick of being the little intern bitch for lazy teachers.  And by that I mean, I can not wait until I'm done with my mentor.  Who teaches Things Fall Apart, a 200 page novel in 12 school days?  It's almost impossible.  But thanks to the terrific timing of my mentor, this is ( Read more... )
