First Day

Well today was my first day in the field, as a second grade "pre-service" teacher as they call us. First off the teacher I have is great! I think we are going to get along just great (at least I hope)! I have 25 children, most names it took me awhile to learn how to pronounce, I have two that are going to be a handful! Today being my first day we had to get the principal to help with one child, and another child punched someone in the bathroom. What a way to start, I know! The kids are great thought, they had trouble saying my last name, and wanted to call me Miss G I was like lets just keep working on the last name, I'm sure you can get it! Oh and the other day my teacher was like there a few of you who I'm going to have to go Friday that I feel are ready to go. Well he asked me today to go Friday. I was like um sure yeah I can, on the inside I was freaking! It is my second day in the field, I don't know the kids names how in the world am I going to do this! But anyway I was really glad he asked me to go!

Oh, another thing, the school I'm working in is like something out of Harry Potter, no there isn't witch craft stuff going on or things flying. There are stairs EVERYWHERE! Sometimes it feels like they are moving on you, they just are everywhere you turn. Oh well, I'll learn where I'm going in the building sooner or later!

Well lets see, it has been awhile since I've posted last. Nothing to much exciting has happened since then but I've been busy don't you worry! I start school on the 25th, oh yea sooo exciting! But what is exciting about starting school is after this semester I have two left then I'm FREEEE! I am doing some student teaching in a second grade class this semester which by the way I LOVE! All the work going into the lesson plans are not that fun, but it is kinda of enjoyable!
Oh and I'm also taking a golf class this fall at school, it is a blast so next time I go out on the course I'll take my camera and put some pictures up of me golfing, it should be a blast!

This past weekend I spent it at the lake, but get this, I didn't wear sun screen all summer while i was out and I was perfectly fine, then I go out this last weekend and I got BURNT! Not just like a little, like my face hurts every time I blink. And my upper legs right by my bathing suit bottom's is so red, you could probably take a red marker and write something and you probably couldn't even read it, it would just blend right in. Anyway I'm going to put some pictures up from this past weekend.
