Brain Is Done
I was wading through the Innernets last night when I clicked on a link unintentionally. Immediately I hit "Ctrl Z" in a futile attempt to undo my click. Duh!
Chicken caught me eating a Hershey's chocolate bar yesterday morning before school. He looked at the chocolate, at me guiltily shoving it in my mouth and said, "PMSing, huh?" Fucking kid always has to be right. Asshole.
For those of you wondering what my semester schedule looks like (please just humor me on this one, okay?) here it is in all its glory:
Weeks 1-8
Four days per week in college classroom (part of the day spent tutoring 4th graders)
One day per week in a second-grade class doing Observation and Participation (otherwise known as O&P)
Weeks 9-16
Five days a week in the same second-grade classroom doing Beginning Student Teaching.
Yes, you got that right. A full semester of graduate-level courses in eight weeks. At least I have two weeks off for Spring Break between weeks 9 and 10, and then the WHOLE SUMMER OFF before doing it all over again. The only difference is that the Beginning Student Teaching is replaced by Advanced Student Teaching. And then, sometime in December of 2008 I will be done. Until I get another hare-brained idea and go back to school again.

ha! you know how in adobe programs you can hit ctrl+ or - to zoom in or out? i try to use this trick on the Internets all the time. i have even attempted to use it on my desktop.
you've got a wacky-ass schedule, my friend.
and there's no shame in eating chocolate for breakfast. none at all.
You might try the 'ESCape' key, next to 'F1'.
I grew up on Unix computers. I still panic into 'Control-C' ('Copy' for Copy-and-paste on Windows computers). *sigh*
Seriously. If you haven't read 'Tools for Teaching' for the philosophy of classroom discipline - you are setting yourself up for more work than is needed. And blessings on your journey as an educator.
And remember, on your journey through life, that those people that get so excited about Friday have forgotten the important part - Monday is only a couple of days away! Enjoy!
You sure have a busy schedule. Good luck and enjoy.
don't go back again. Stick with this. Our children need someone like you. By our, I mean, America's.
Hey, when you hit that break you should totally come and see me again. I'll share my Valllll-ium *shakes the bottle enticingly*
Wow, my brain hurts just looking at all that learning you have to do.
Good luck with that...no, really!
Sam, this calls for a quote from Tony Little (http://www.tonylittle.com/):
YOU CAN DOOOOOOO IIIIIIIIIITT!!!!!
You are a tough chick. Hang in there. We are all pulling for you!!!
you should read this book called "your first year as an elementary school teacher". i read the high school version before i started teaching, and it really helped.
ok, that was dumb advice. like you have time to read extra books. dur.
seems my mind is going, too!
