Practicum II Placements

What a truly exhausting week this has been.

Monday was Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, so we didn't have school. I did work for a few hours, but nothing too major was going on. Tuesday I had work until midnight, which is generally exhausting. However, I couldn't seem to sleep at all. Wednesday night at work, I spent 6 hours running around getting stuff ready for the Rock the Runway Fashion Show that took place Thursday night. We had to move the stage more than once to get it to their liking, which is no easy task. By the time I finally got home, I still had homework to do after my shower (I got nice and dirty crawling under the stage pieces at work). Once again, I couldn't seem to sleep well. So, with two nights of very little sleep, I decided to tackle Thursday head-on (with the help of a little music, of course). After class on Thursday, Daniel and I went to a concert by the University Singers, which turned out to be nearly the same concert I went to last fall. Oh well, I got to enjoy the concert this time instead of taking a bunch of notes.

Now, on to Friday! We got our placements today in Practicum II, and I'm going to be with 3rd grade at Tuscaloosa Magnet School! I'm really excited because 3rd grade is the grade I think I'd like to teach; they get to do more interesting stuff that just reading and math. It will be interesting being at the magnet school because I think they have more flexibility in how they operate. Also, Kelsey, a girl in my section, told me that the teacher I'm assigned to is awesome; also, Kelsey's mom is the principal at TMS, which is nice to know. Now I'm just sitting at work trying to get some work done.

Oh, and Davis is coming next Wednesday! And he sold the 280, which I think he's glad he was able to sell, but is sad to see it go.

Until next week...(as that seems to be my posting pattern)
