Student teaching.

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.
