Broke

I just got back from vacation and I have $21 in my checking account. This is all after vacation and registering to take my praxis 2...what a mutha...and I still have to buy textbooks for my classes. I'm definitely going to be checking out the library for them.

In other news, I began my first week of student teaching. I've observed for two days and already am tired. The students I look over all have IEPs except for one class which is an elective. A student asked what my name was today and when answered "Ms. White." He answered with "that's racist." I asked why it was so, he concluded that whoever named me that was racist. He also inquired that I was racist because Hilary Clinton is no longer a candidate for president while Barack Obama is. This is going to be an exciting year.

The Good, the Bad, and The Snotty

I'm feeling a little better from the events from this past weekend. I went to Nanticoke and caught something over there and was full of snot. It's now dissipating. 

On a lighter note, I got my placements for student teaching. I'll be at Northwestern High for a couple of months. Then I switch to Samuel Ogle Middle. I'm so frickin' excited!!! But for now I need to rid my sinus problems, fix my eye allergy with some steroids, get my nails done, and my eyes brows waxed and I'm golden. 

WHat the?!

Yesterday google was having some issues with it's email beta server. I asked a few of my friends who have gmail if they had access to their email...and they did. I felt like I was the only one with this issue until last night. Google finally left a mass thread on a discussion board about the problem. 

I desperately needed to see my email to see if I had received my placement on where I would be student teaching. I was so upset and then I thought to myself, "what is God teaching me?" Maybe it was patience or self control or trust...or a combination of all three. The thing finally came up this morning and I had not gotten word from my coordinator. Go figure. So as one day passes so does another empty email. 

Requiem For a Dream

Sometimes I have images that flash in my head from movies that I see and it's there for an instant and then it's gone. I keep having the image of the junky's mom being contained in a rehab center and they're forcing her to eat food. I don't know why I keep having that image on my brain but it just comes and goes when it pleases. I wonder why? 

So I'm getting my student teaching placement this week. For those of you who don't know, I'll be student teaching this year. I'll be place either in PG or Montgomery county. I'm hoping for Montgomery but I thinking it will be the other. I'm super excited for this year. I finally will be putting to use of my knowledge of history and teaching into practice in the classroom. I pray that I will see what my students see and be real with them...because "that's what's up."
