i start teaching at la escuela fratney on monday! monday! i cannot believe how much my life has changed. a REAL teacher with a REAL salary. i am nervous. i am teaching bilingual elementary special education.
i have some ideas but i haven't solidified them yet because i don't know for sure what kids i'll be working with and exactly what i'll be teaching. i want to be engaging and fun and yet still offer the students a means to achievement and success...and i want to be meaningful and grounded, giving them real life experiences and instill in them the values that i feel are important to be a good and thoughtful human being.
i want my students to feel a sense of community in my classroom (this might not be too hard if i only have 4-5 students at a time?) while also giving them roles/duties everyday.
....and i have grad school twice a week 3 hours at a time, and then an additional day once every month. i'm sure i'll have papers and homework. i start on monday.
....and since i am teaching special ed, i have paperwork. not just report cards and progress reports but individual education programs set up for each child with special needs. i am scared to do this part. this is the most foreign to me.
i am scared that my social life will dwindle down further than it has already with work, lesson plans, and grad school all at once. that when it's all over the only ones i will be able to turn to are those in my "program" or co-workers. i'm excited to extend my social circle to these people but wonder what will become of me in these two years of certification/grad school? i feel like i am already a changed person.
i feel like my hopes and dreams are becoming a reality, but now i am responsible for teaching others and i don't want to let anyone down. |

ok, i'm serious now. i'm not going to drink so much. someone needs to slap me. i cannot keep being a drunk.
i hate it when people have long toenails. i hope you are all on top of that.
not only am i a drunk but i'm a social retard. this makes me have split personalities or maybe it's my superhero thing. except at night i'm not fighting crime i'm just wasted.
i have to go to grafton today and get my painting. i don't know where i'm going to put it. maybe i could somehow fasten it to the ceiling.
please...i don't want to be drunk anymore.
does anyone want to get food this afternoon? call me. |

i'm really upset about camping. i thought we were going to get a cabin and somehow it would be ok that i didn't have anyone to fuck at night. now it's a -call and make your own reservation on a 2 person campsite with tent thing and i don't have a number 2 person. so now i'm probably not going to go and i am so pissed and i hate everyone. ok...i'm done. |

-noah's ark was a lot of fun. i didn't wear sun screan and i don't even look that much more tan and erin is sunburned like whoa. i found out my swimsuit is see-through which made me really paranoid all day, but i'm sure the men were thrilled.
-diarrhea has turned semi-solid. no more shitting my pants.
-i still love madplanet. sorry if you guys are sick of it :(
-me me me me |
