So it seems that I only post here in times of extreme silliness, boredom, or stress. Now is one of those times of stress, so if you're not into hearing me whine and complain, you might just wanna skip ahead.

So this student teaching thing is kicking my butt, not because of the kids, but because of the teacher I'm with. She's MEAN. And I'm also ( Read more... )

Saturday was a nice break from the stress that now completely runs my life. I got to hang with Meghan in Hickory, and of course we went to A.C. Moore for the bead/yarn party. I haven't had so much silly fun in a long time. We wanted Beeg with us, but she had the boys and couldn't break away. We played with neon colored tribbles, and I gave ( Read more... )

So I present my second unit tomorrow, and I am working my ass off to finish up my lesson plans. I'm a bit stressed, but oddly enough, I'm not nearly as stressed as I had expected. Not sure why. I'm still getting a lot done at the last minute, as usual, but I don't feel quite as panicked as last time. I think I'm just more accepting of things now. I ( Read more... )
