Week 1 - Student Teaching

Whew.

I don't think I have ever been as tired as I am right now. This week was long, stressful, and a lot of fun. I had so much information thrown at me all at once that I don't know what to do with half of it. I'm not used to the long school hours anymore; college spoiled me rotten.

Just to give you a run down of my week:

Monday:
  • Cody and I met friends for lunch.
  • Cody spent the rest of the day with his friend while I relaxed with Bandit.
  • We went to dinner with friends (and babies!) hope we can do it again soon.
Tuesday:
  • Student Teaching Orientation from 830 AM to 330PM
  • Cody left for work around 9AM
  • Took Patrick to lunch
  • Met up with Kat for a few hours after Orientation
  • Had a hiccup with the bridal party around 7PM
  • Went out with Kat for a few hours because of hiccup, planned Bachelorette party and Bridal Shower
Wednesday:
  • Student Teaching Orientation from 9AM to 330PM
  • Huge gap of free time spent with Bandit at Parents house
  • After Orientation fixed hiccup by making a few phone calls
Thursday:
  • Met my Principal and Cooperative Teacher, both seem awesome!
  • Drove to Eden out of curiosity (almost ran out of gas, didn't think that one through very well)
  • Timed drive back to Wall from Eden (just shy of 30 minutes if you're curious)
  • Time drive back to San Angelo from Wall (right around 10 to 12 minutes depending on lights in San Angelo)
  • Went back to ASU for final part of Orientation day ended at 330
Friday (Today):
  • First day of Student Teaching!
  • Had a substitute, my teacher was sick (she picked up a stomach virus from her son)
  • Students took a test - B day kids look awesome have a few to look out for but nothing to hard
  • Realized just how long an hour and thirty minutes is...eek
  • Came home tired but excited
That is my first week of student teaching! There isn't much exciting on Cody's front, he knows how to update the blog if he wants to. I'm now off to update the wedding blog.

Yup there's a wedding blog, thought I emailed you a link when I started it. If you haven't found it yet it's attached to the same account this blog is. :-)
