Wowzers...

I never thought I'd be so busy.  I got reprimanded during my student-teaching for not taking the job seriously enough.  My cooperating teachers suspected that I was basically content with my work as an educator and that I was not working hard enough to become a better teacher.  They believed that I thought it would be an easy job with little pressure and tons of downtime.  I don't think they were spot-on by any means, but they certainly did not prepare me for the rigors of this job!

I left for work yesterday at 6:00 A.M. and did not return home until 8:00 P.M.  There was so much that I still needed to get done and time literally flew past me (that was only because I threw some spices in the air though...)  But I think Mr. Walivaara and Mr. Koburg were right...this job is a non-stop whirlwind that does not end when the school bell rings.  I wouldn't call it a rude awakening, but I'm still recovering from it.  I think I'm finally caught up (to an extent) and I really enjoyed my first full day.  But wowzers!  I wish student-teaching would've adequately prepared me for this!

Anyhow, I think I'm back on track and will be returning to the one-blog-a-day system now that I have consistent Interweb access via my personal work computer!  Boy am I an old man...
