October
I'm almost halfway through student teaching. Originally, the plan was to be in the High School until October 25th, then switch to the Junior High to complete my student teaching experience. My cooperating teacher in the High School decided she wanted to keep me for the entire time because it would be better to stay with the same class for the entire time (I liked this idea). Of course, due to State regulations, I am required to have teaching experience on the Junior High School level in order to be certified. As a result, I am teaching in the High School and Junior High School simultaneously. I spend my mornings in the High School teaching periods 2, 3, & 4, then I drive down the road to the Junior High School where I teach 8th period. 10th grad honors in the morning and 7th grade Regents in the afternoon. needless to say, I am exhausted by the time I leave; and getting up at 5am doesn't help. But it has been fun thus far. The kids are great. I'm definitely going to miss them when student teaching ends.
I had my first two student teaching observation last Friday. I was nervous, but they went well. My seminar professor told me that I remind him of himself as a young teacher. I was surprised and flattered. Perhaps I'm not so crazy for choosing to become a teacher.
Magdalene and I went to 4 shows in a week and a half: matt pond PA, The Good Life, Minus the Bear, and Jeremy Enigk. We were exhausted, but the shows were fantastic. This Saturday, we're seeing Owen @ Southpaw. Should be a fun time. The time we hung out with Mike Kinsella (Owen) we were at Southpaw seeing Maritime. Next it's The Color Fred, then Jimmy Eat World, and then Brand New.
Saturday, Magdalene and I went to Rembrandts in Hicksville to see Speed Speed Speed for Steve's b-day. They were amazing. Such a good show. We narrowly escaped getting sprayed with beer several times. I swear, no one brings the rock like they do.
Ok, I have to get ready for bed. I'm getting up at 4:50am tomorrow.
Later on.
