This is quite the adventure I’ve gotten myself into! I can see that after even just a few education classes, this is going to be quite the learning curve (please excuse the lame joke of inference to my choice of vocation). As a teacher education student, I have double the course load in order to fit an entire semester of classes into six/seven weeks. You heard me. Someone mentioned something about not having a life this year. Ha! Hardly. Thankfully, there are about 23 other wonderful young ladies who are doing exactly the same thing as me and we spend the better part of our days together in the classroom, being students of the art of teaching. It is very funny to note that, even though we may spend an entire day together, we stand around after class at night and chat! Our farewells? “Good night- see you in the morning!”

I’m going to have to re-learn a lot of things that I’ve forgotten (or skills I just haven’t used) since elementary school. When was the last time I did long division? I found out in gym class that I can’t dance (although that’s probably the 10th time I’ve figured “discovered” that fact, and what can you expect when I can’t even sing and clap at the same time!). Phonics is like another language to me. Oh the joys of school! Love it.
