Welp! I think I have officially become a Kindergarten teacher! I have caught a cold and it's only the beginning. There were already a lot of kids absent this week with the flu/cold. We had 2 or 3 with 100 degree temps and same with in the other Kindergarten classes. I managed to get everything printed out that I had to type up last night ( Read more... )

I'm stressing! Note to self: Never use Angela's computer again for student teaching stuff i need to save since she doesn't have the NORMAL microsoft programs.... like Microsoft Word! grrr! so of course I go to the computer lab expecting to print the stuff i have saved and nooooo.... the computers there won't open things saved with some stupid ( Read more... )

Well, today was good at school but once again I'm worn out! I have now decided that I will put the playdough away for afternoon free choice. It makes too much of a mess and the kids take FOREVER cleaning it up. Which in turn makes them take longer to get their stuff together to go home. Which in turn makes us late to get out to the buses and ( Read more... )

Well, after Friday night, the rest of my weekend was spent doing pre-autumn homework, hanging out with the girls and watching movies Saturday night, and cleaning carpets. Ang and I were disgusted by our carpets and wanted to desperately clean them. So we rented a carpet cleaner and probably cleaned the carpets 7+ times. The sad part is that even ( Read more... )

Well, Claire convinced me to go to the bars tonight. I did kinda wanna get out and go dancing even though the last 5 days of dealing with 5 yr. olds and the rainy weather made me extremely tired. I decided to go out anyways. I now realize why I was hesitant to go out alone with Claire. I love her and she's a great friend. But a different ( Read more... )

Matt is going to Iraq. He's leaving for training in November and then shipped off a month after that. He'll probably be gone about a year or more. Even though we're not dating anymore, he's still my first love and a part of me will always love him. I'm extremely scared right now! I'm very proud that he's in the national guard after being in ( Read more... )

The day was good today, maybe just not the best night in the world though. Everything was good till Ang and I left Nicole's. I start backing up as usual, turn, and under the tree, in the dark, sits a dark red car that I totally didn't see. So I ended up hitting it. I was expecting the worst when I got out, but luckily it ended up looking like ( Read more... )

Well, as you can see, I lasted through my first two days of Kindergarten! Wednesday was just parent orientation so they could fill out all the paperwork. Then Thursday 12 of the kids came from class and stayed for the day. That group was pretty quiet, but my teacher and I could see a few that might get a little out of hand. Today was a much ( Read more... )

So it's 4 in the morning and no matter HOW tired I am... I can't sleep!  I has so many thoughts/feelings running through my head right now that I don't know what to do.  Do I laugh?  Do I cry?  Do I yell?  I have not a clue because I want to do a little of each!  But I'm not about to bore you with all of my issues.... not really issues but just ( Read more... )

So yesterday consisted of doing basically..... nothing.  Nicole came over and we all piled on my bed to watch "Dirty Dancing Havana Nights."  Turned out to be better than we thought it might be.  Mostly I like it for the music and dancing.  Then we bummed around.  Nicole and I watched "Big Bounce."  That turned out to be funny cause Owen Wilson is ( Read more... )
