It Has Only Been a Million Years...

     Sorry there has been such a gap in posts.  I have just been so busy! Who would have ever thought that *sarcastic eye roll*.  I finished my three week take-over that is required of me from the University.  It was the mix of ups and downs I thought it would be.  It's overwhelming and frustrating being a student teacher.  I don't really know how to explain it.  You're trying so hard to find out who you are going to be as a teacher while still trying to maintain a classroom environment someone else has set up.  The whole thing is a bit frustrating.  I cannot wait to have my own classroom, to make my own decisions, and to be able to implement classroom management as I see fit.  Well, that's enough complaining.  Overall I thought my takeover went REALLY well.  The students really enjoyed me teaching and have even requested I keep going or that I get a job at the school.  This makes me feel a bit cocky.  I was also observed by the administration and in the best news of all I GOT OFFERED A FULL TIME TEACHING JOB!!! AYAYAYAYAY! But, my joy ends there... unfortunately the university will not let me go until the end of the semester. They won't budge not one bit. This is seriously the most frustrating thing I have EVER been involved in.  The prospect of finally making money is right there and because the school is on this whole, fair is fair, kick the school had to find someone else to fill the position.  Again, another rant over.  Anyway, at least the prospect of getting a job offer has made me confident of my skills as a teacher.  Anyway, graduation in soon and I'm looking forward to walking. Hopefully this won't be the last post but just the first of many, many more!
