So, this is how it feels to be out of college. Graduated. Done and done. I graduated last May with my bachelor's, but I kind of didn't even notice, considering I went straight back to taking classes right after commencement and continued to do so all summer and all of this past year.

I have found many notes (either confiscated them during class time or randomly found in desks, on the floor, etc.) in the last 2.5 weeks at my middle school, but I found one today that topped them all. For your reading pleasure, I am ( Read more... )

I've officially completed my first week of student teaching; only fifteen more weeks to go. It's going to be tough and time-consuming, but I am enjoying myself a lot more than I thought I would. Sixth grade is a breeze and a blast compared to the high school classes in which I've had practicum previously ( Read more... )
