School and Work and....well, there really isn't anything in between!

Well, another set of classes down, and another set to go! Eight weeks sure goes fast. This time around though, I did not get a break because I have a few pre-reqs I have to take through Metro, and their classes have overlapped Peru’s schedule…blah blah blah…I won’t put you though listening to all the technicalities. The no break thing is really no bother to me though, it’s just one step closer to getting done with school. Then, student teaching in August…..which is only…..FIVE MONTHS away. To be honest, I am pretty terrified to student teach. I am really hoping that I have a “good” cooperating teacher. Just talking about it makes me anxious! I have not decided yet if I want to attempt to get a job in a school right away, or if I want to sub for a year or so to help me gain more experience. Ultimately, I think it depends on how prepared I feel after my student teaching. Another concern is money during that time… I am trying to decide if I want to get a weekend job, or if I just want to focus on student teaching. Well, let me rephrase that…I would prefer to just focus on student teaching, but I want to make sure we’ll be financially okay as well. Who knows….I’m worrying, could ya tell?

I am going to miss my babies and co-workers though while I am gone. Four months is a long time to be away from my babies! I am hoping that I will be able to go in to visit everyone often…just so the babies don’t forget me! Speaking of work, it sounds like I have a co-teacher to take over for Carolyn! I met her the other day and she seems very nice and very skilled with all ages of infants, so I am feeling optimistic! Also, in other exciting news, my school schedule now and through the summer has allowed me to change my schedule back to four 10 hour days (which is my favorite schedule to work!) So, starting next week, I will work Monday-Thursday 7:00-6:00 with Friday’s off of work! I am stoaked for many reasons, but I am really hoping to be able to stay on top of my homework enough where I can spend some quality time with Junior this summer! He is old enough now where he can really start to enjoy special outings!

Well, I realize this was a big cluster jumble of stuff, but I felt the need to write!
