This is it. The final countdown (yes, it's intentional). I'm on my second to last day in this classroom and, truthfully, it's entirely perfunctory. Mrs. F gave me a grade, I turned in all my evaluations, my Taskstream portfolio is graded, my Gate 4 interview is over, so I'm just here to be here now.
Not that I don't absolutely love it and I'm not having the best time in the world. I am going to miss my students like crazy. All of them. Even the ones that drive me insane on a daily basis (and if you're one of my students stumbling across this, you know who you are). (Apparently, this is a parentheses day.) In all seriousness, I am legit having the best day ever today. Granted I haven't taught yet...but I'm just having fun with today. I feel like this is the first time I can relax and just be in the classroom. No evaluations, no judging who I am or how I am in the classroom, no paperwork. I can be totally myself in the classroom today. It probably won't translate any differently than how I normally am, but I know the difference.
So this is really the end. I'll probably keep up this blog for diary keeping purposes, but I'm now standing on the precipice of the gaping void that is the rest of my life. May 8th is a scary day filled with a nearly blank slate so I can begin writing my new life and be a grown-up in the real world...
Heaven help me.
