Workdays ROCK

I've had my first official workday since school started. It was a much needed workday. The work is in a huge stack and my room is ready to be re-organized. That was the first thing I did today, finally got to spend a little time with just my room. I adore my classroom, but it had gotten messy with the everyday in's and outs of student chaos. I swept, cleaned, moved around, and re-arranged. It was lovely. Then we went out to lunch which is really nice to actually get to eat and not worry about the next class, haha. I love spending time with the English teachers I work with, they're so funny and wonderful to be around. I plan on doing a lot of grading on Monday. It's what I have left to do. I also need to plan, just the usual life of a high school teacher.

This weekend or tonight rather, I'm going to Raleigh to visit Kelly and Matt. (Soon to be Mr. and Mrs. Matt Gay!!) We're looking at bridesmaids dresses and all that good stuff tomorrow, so it'll be fun to do some wedding things. Now if we could only get my wedding in the works...haha, jk.

Last Monday I had the opportunity to speak with a UNCG English Methods class. It is crazy that I was in that class just a year ago and now fast forward a year...I'm really the teacher. It was wonderful to get to spread the little bit of knowledge and advice I had from student teaching and these past 10 weeks. I'm a 10 week veteran! I really enjoyed it.

I'm continuing to learn from life everyday, even when I cried in front of my students this week, I learned from it. Mainly to not freak out and cry, but also to take things one step at a time. Oh well, at least they saw that I was only human! Life goes on... :)
