ummm...how do i put a title on my blogs? erin, luke...any ideas?

so student teaching is going better. last friday was the best day so far. it made me want to be a teacher. i felt like i actually taught them something they didn't know or couldn't figure out for themselves. i think the students trust me more now which is nice. so i'm still trying to decide if i want to teach or not. my experience has not been bad so far, just not so fun either.


i just got back from a wonderful weekend with my family! happy birthday buz! thanks dad for doing my taxes with me! so silly me thought it would be fun to do the long form for federal taxes. luckily my dad talked me into turbotax. we had to do my state taxes on paper and it took FOREVER! i can't imagine trying to do my federal taxes. i think we'd still be there doing them!

k, that's all for now. i'm monitoring students taking test while i eat my lunch...pb&j is calling my name....

man oh man do i feel professional! i went to target and bought 3-ring binders, dividers, new pens, and little flags to organize my lesson plans! it's definitely the little things that get me all excited! i am now ready to go for my first full week of teaching. (the last three weeks i haven't had to teach every day) we will see how it goes. i feel pretty confident at this point though!

so i was informed last night that i posted a falsehood. dan did not say that blogs are nerdy. i don't know what he would call them, but he doesn't like them. he doesn't want the family to hate him so i said i would correct my mistake. he just doesn't like them.

k, guys...i fixed the settings thing so now everyone can comment! yay for me! i figured it out!

ok guys, i've given in to the pressure...i'm starting my own blog. it's is hard to email everyone everyday (not that i actually do it), but it would be hard if i did do it. since everyone is always asking how student teaching is going, i figured i could write it hear so everyone could see it. so that's the plan...no guarentees it will happen...oh and so you all know, dan strongly dislikes my having a blog. he thinks its nerdy. what does he know?

so student teaching is going alright. i don't hate it and i don't love it. it's just alright. this last week and a half has been extremely boring. this week was finals. so the last half of last week was review and they took tests this week. i was struggling to stay awake. i wonder if they saw me nodding off in the front of the room. cuz that would be really funny if they did...but in my defense, what in the world was i supposed to do? there were no papers to grade. i was working on my lessons for next week, but golly, a body can only take so much staring at a book/computer! so yeah that's about it.

i'm just finishing 5 days of babysitting 24/7...haha, that doesn't quite make sense. i've been babysitting the Kendall's for 5 days now while their parents are on vacation. the kids have been surprisingly good, but i will be glad when today is over. i need the four day weekend.

ta-ta for now!
