You know how everyone, everywhere despises Mondays? That used to be me, but nope not anymore, I found a day that I hate even more than Monday.....TUESDAY! why you ask? well, let's see, i wake up at 6:45am, go to school, teach almost all day, leave at 2:30pm, drive to Philadelphia (about 2 1/2 hours with traffic...had to stop and get an iced coffee, I was falling asleep!), attend my weekly night senior seminar class from 5:30-8pm, drive home (usually a good 2 hours), eat dinner and try to finish up anything else (like this) before its bedtime. I should be asleep right now as tired as my body is but I also had an iced coffee before I left Philadelphia so I'm wide awake...but I'm sure once my head hits the pillow, I'll be out.
At school today we had our first indoor recess, how exciting! The cuties loved it and everyone wanted me to play with them. I also think I have my first clinger...yes like stage 5 but cute, not creepy. This little cutie won't leave my side and always wants one-on-one attention and help. Right now since I'm only observing and helping out, this is easy to do...won't be so easy when I'm teaching whole group instruction.
My seminar class is packed full of work so I will be very busy the next seven weeks doing assignments and working on my portfolio for the senior performance assessment that is right before Thanksgiving (which will be here before I know it, crazy right?)
I plan to start teaching soon and Thursday is back to school night :) exciting things are coming, i can feel them!
OH yea, did i mention i have to RETAKE one of my praxis 2 tests because i took the wrong one. ETS notified me that i took/passed the elementary ed-content knowledge when i really needed to take the fundamental content knowledge. RATS! of coarse something like this would happen to me. The only really nice part is that they are making the adjustment for me and allowing me to take the other test at no charge :) yayayya. oh yea that reminds me...I also need to take the early childhood praxis.
Needless to say, now until Thanksgiving will be very busy for me....
as for you social life....see you in December
