I'm sitting at my desk on a Friday afternoon. The students have all left for the weekend. I'm pretty much mentally checked out. This week has been a trial by fire, and I'm not entirely sure I escaped without any burns. But that's the thing, right? I escaped. Life is going to go on. My new job is going to continue. I'm going to return to E-102 on Monday with a smile on my face and lesson plans ready to go. And I'm still pretty excited about it. Today was an awesome day. Things are finally coming together. I had an outstanding discussion with my first block class. My lesson actually went long during my third block class. Boy you'd better believe me though...I still have tons and tons to learn. But maybe I can actually handle this job. Though I'm not really sure that I ever doubted it, but it's still an incredible thing to know. It's so reassuring, especially on days in which I'm prepared. This is such a crazy time right now, but I'm still looking forward and I'm pumped for the things that lie ahead.
Wow...I'm a teacher.
