Today was my last first day of school... well being a student that is... unless of course I go to graduate school... well, you get the point! I have this semester left of classes and my practicum, and then I student teach second semester (January-April). Boy am I excited! This semester might be a drag though... I mean, I'm psyched for my classes, I'm just not psyched that I have to take so many. And because this is my last semester. It also means I have all of my capstone and senior courses, which are hard. Here are the classes I'm taking:
Practicum - 4 credits
D&C - 2 credits
Shakespeare - 3 credits
Teaching Reading - 3 credits
American Lit to 1800 - 3 credits
The Senior Course (devotional lyric) - 3 credits
= 18 whole credits.
I just have mixed feelings really. I'm SO ready to be done with school and just WORK already, but at the same time, I want to learn as much as I can before I have to teach. I feel ready and not ready at the same time... Sometimes I seriously consider graduating with just an English degree. But then something always pulls me back to this insane major, and I stick with it. I think I'll be glad when I'm done.
Our student teaching/practicum assignments were revealed today! I will be teaching at Vista Heights Middle School in Saratoga Springs (Alpine School district). My mentor teacher's name is Natalie Thomson. She looks super cute and close to my age, which is exciting. It'll be nice to be teaching up near Lehi where I might be able to get a job next year! (Fingers crossed)
I was going to post of photo of what I looked like on this first last day of college pic, but I was so exhausted I came home right away, let Zeus out, played with him, changed (it's 90 degrees outside), and collapsed on the couch. So the picture I post today might be a little scary, honestly. Let's hope tomorrow is less exhausting and I might put one in here.
