Day 2 of "Boot Camp." All 39 of us were to go flooding into the schools as quivering masses of excitement to start getting to know the schools, teacher, students, and the classroom environment. But...it snowed. So, now we have our first snow day, a few hours of free time before our heads are crammed with information again, and I personally have a few unanswered questions for my cooperating teacher. (For instance, do you really know what you're getting into?)
Let's back up and document yesterday really quick in list format:
- I'm informed I'm no longer a student
- I get a job offer from the school I'm student teaching in and have to decline
- I'm stuck in a really hot room for 8 hours while an overwhelming amount of information is repeatedly stuffed into my skull
- I'm given an 81/2"x 11" piece of paper that summarizes everything I was told in a succinct, easy to understand way, but at the end of the day so I've been fruitlessly worrying about nothing
- I made dinner with Julie...which was slightly disastrous, but tasty
All in all a stressful, decent day in the life of one Megan Coburn.
It's weird being on campus too. It's like a sneak peak into the life of what the world will be like when I graduate. I technically don't live here anymore, so it's like I'm a ghost in the dorm. The world has gone on in my absence (obviously...I'm not that self-centered), but it's strange being here while it does.
Well, on to "real life" once more. Studying for a Praxis exam and keeping up with student teacher stuff.
