AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

     Well, here I am again.  This is my second to last post during student teaching.  First off, I CAN'T STAND HOW EXHAUSTED I AM!!!!! I am working non-stop from before the sun comes up until after the sun goes down, and there still are not enough hours in one day!  It seems like while I am at my placement in the middle school, there is not one second that I am not doing something or helping someone; and then I have to find "extra" time to do my work for student teaching.  I don't want to turn this post into a complaint session, but the shear amount of work that I do in one day is INSANE! So, yet again, this post is being posted late!  I want to kick myself every time I don't get something turned in on time!  I am not usually like this, but when I am grading 120 poetry exams along with 600 poems (5 from each student), I just end my day in a haze of not wanting to do ANYTHING!  There are nights that I come home and say to myself that I am just going to sit on the couch for five minutes to rest.  Well, that does not happen...I usually sit down and fall directly asleep from exhaustion!  If I only had my student teaching work OR my actual teaching work to do, I would be fine...but this is INSANE!  Anyway, let me talk now about my past observation.
     Well, where do I start?  Yet again, my advisor (Hey Dr. Shannon) always seems to catch me on a day that I do poorly in my performance.  I don't know if it is because of nerves or because the kids go crazy when someone new is there, but it has happened each time my advisor comes to see me.  One good thing though is that I evidently hide my fear and terror well.  I guess this is a good thing to be able to do...especially as a teacher.  Well, hopefully my next observation (which is tomorrow) goes well.  I am now into my theater unit and this is my specialty. 
     I am loving this placement thus far.  My students signed me up for the teacher vs. students basketball game that takes place tomorrow.  Well, I have never played basketball on a team before and I have only been able to practice one time this week for ten minutes because I have had grading and lesson planning to do!  AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Well, I still have more grading and student teacher busy work...I mean helpful and enlightening work to do before I go to bed and get up at 5 tomorrow morning soooooooo, I am going to cut it off at this!  Until next time. :-)
