Sup Teach?

My first quarter in the teaching credential program ended last Thursday. Man oh man was that an intense week! Research papers, presentations, finals, etc. I’m not even going to say that I need to stop procrastinating (even though I kind of just did). I’ll just say that next quarter I’m planning on staying on top of things

Student teaching starts on August 25 and similar to Miss S, I have yet to know my placement! Will I get the cute little first graders? …Or maybe the tweener sixth graders? Who knows. What I DO know is that I’m preparing myself the best way I can -by simply enjoying my two weeks off. I mean, technically I am a student, so I feel entitled to enjoy my summer vacation just like the rest of us. Don’t worry, I’m not a slacker. I like to think there is a fine line between slacker and person-who-has-fun-when-there’s-no-school. Once I know my placement I’ll get crackin… I promise. So rest assured, the future of California’s children is in good hands. (Really!)

Here’s a little conversation between my brother (who is also a teacher) and me:

E: Morning. What are you up to?

J: I just passed Final Fantasy Two!

E: Final Fantasy TWO? I’m glad you’re making the most of your summer vacation..
