Well I finally found a minute! I usually try to do a new one at some point during the weekend, but last week was just so crazy that I couldn't. This past weekend was beautiful! Kevin and I were able to go to the park on Saturday and walk around for a while. Story about the park- every, and I mean EVERY time we go, we see either someone getting married, getting engaged, or taking engagement pictures. This past Saturday was no different. We saw the happy couple- tux, white dress, and all. On Sunday we were able to go ride bikes through some very hilly neighborhoods. I guess it's called Green Hills for a reason.
It was nice to get some time together though because we didn't see each other at all last week. I saw him Sunday night and not again til the next Saturday. Between shows he was going to and my exhaustion from school and babysitting, our schedules just didn't mesh very well. Guess it doesn't matter if you live 5 minutes away, when schedules are opposite, there's nothing you can do.
Anyways, school has been going well. I pretty much started full time teaching last week and will continue until the 19th or so. It's fine with me! I love it! My mentor teacher is also getting a lot of stuff done in her room that she's wanted to do for a while but hasn't had the time to do. Next week, she gets to go administer TCAP though so she better enjoy this week! The more time I spend teaching, the more I love it. The kids crack me up, every day is different, you never know what to expect, and there is never a dull moment. I can't imagine spending my day doing anything else. I'm going to be really bummed when this placement is over. I already have quite a few days lined up to go back and sub so hopefully I won't have too much time to be bummed!
I have 2 more observations, one of which is tomorrow and the other is next week, and that's it! So weird to think that this is wrapping up so quickly. It's definitely creating a lot of mixed emotions for me. I'm excited to be finishing school, but sad that I'm going to be leaving the wonderful people I'm with everyday.
Hopefully more good things are close behind though. I have finished and turned in my portfolio. My exit presentation is on the 25th, and graduation is 30 days or 4 weeks or 1 month away!! :) CRAZY!!!
a month is a month is a month! Lots going on, and plenty to stress you out, but it sounds like a walk in the park was just what you needed!
ReplyDeleteNever forget to stop and smell the roses...and as stressful as it all seems, enjoy it! You will only pass this way once. And in the blink of an eye you will catch yourself saying: "remember back when I was in school and getting ready to graduate? ....man,,, those were the good old days... no stress, just fun and kids and turn in a paper to get a good grade." You will have the rest of your life to work! Enjoy the moments!
