This is my life right now. It is exhausting, but, despite my complaining, I am enjoying student teaching. If only there were 30 hours in a day.

Alarm Clock Woes

So... I definitely slept through my alarm Thursday morning. Long story short, I was late to school and missed the morning routine and morning meeting with my class. I made it just in time for them to come back from specials and begin teaching. I was/am pretty embarrassed. Needless to say, I set two alarms now. Other than that major mishap, Thursday and Friday went very well. With the sub in the back on the computer and no one else in the room to observe me, I felt like a real teacher. It was pretty great!
