My lack of blogging over the past month and a half has been mostly due to my student teaching. I'm teaching all senior English classes at the local high school, and it's keeping me quite busy. I enjoy it most days. I've read so many research papers I can write MLA citations in my sleep. (No, really, I see them every time I close my eyes.) I have managed to never ever have to go to the cafeteria. (I don't even know where it is.) And I've taught my mentor teacher how to use a computer. (Actually, we're still working on that.)
Overall it's been a really good experience so far. I have a good relationship with my mentor teacher. I don't think I could have asked for a better one. She really helps me out, she's super organized, and she's as sarcastic as I am. What more could a girl ask for? I like the kids too. There are a few who get on my nerves and a few I just really can't understand, but I still like them. The best news I have about my semester is that my little head has tolerated it far better than I expected. I still hurt most days, and I have to go straight to bed when I get home lots of times, but I've also had several good days. It's made me feel confident that I can have a job one day and even be able to enjoy it.
