Finally the big day is almost here. Last week was pretty stressful.... because they finally let us out of orientation and training lectures and into the classroom. Then we realized how little we actually knew about the fine details of being a teacher. Paperwork, reports, standards, special education students, lunch counts, discipline... in other words the practical side of being a teacher. Although it was honestly overwhelming, things are better now, and we are as ready to go as we are going to get. This coming week will be a busy... and learning to be a teacher will be a sharp learning curve. I would be lying, however, to say that I am not excited to start. This is the next stage of my life and I am ready for it.
We are still trying to find things for the apartment. We need much in the way of living and dining room furniture. Right now though, we lack the time and the money to acquire too much. Perhaps this is the "hope that furniture falls from the sky" approach. I realize how unrealistic this is... Regardless we are all happy with where we are now. We have settled in nicely and are anxious to begin work. Now to just make it through the first day...
