My apologies for no picture this post but nothing is very fitting! I finished my first week of school and I think it's going to be a long semester! Just kidding. I actually had a pretty good time this week. I did some teaching on Thursday and I had a blast in front of the students. I didn't realize that I was an actress...that's pretty much what teaching is...pretending that you know what you're doing! I had no idea how hard teaching is, I always thought oh you just go to school at 8 and come home around 3 and maybe hang up some bright colored paper around the room and assign a couple vocab words how hard can be??? Well it's only been 4 days I've already learned that I have to create lessons around students who are color blind, can't read, can't write, do not speak english, who do not work well in groups, hearing impaired, ADD/ADHD, feel lonely, diabetic...aye yai yai. It's going to be a lot of work but it'll be worth it in the end. I'm already starting to feel for these students whether they realize it or not.
Oh I am having a hard time at school with one thing....the fridge in the teachers lounge is busted! It stinks so bad and they aren't going to replace it-they are waiting for someone to donate one so pretty much they aren't going to have a fridge for the rest of the semester I'm assuming! How am I suppose to pack my yogurt, carrots, left over meats etc??? Here is where my creative side needs to kick in!
On to another topic- movies- has anyone seen the Prestige? David and I watched it on Friday and loved it, in fact I think we're going to watch it again today. I was a little skeptical of it but man it's good. We highly recommend it, two thumbs way up.

I'm so glad you posted about your week. I've been checking and rechecking to hear about it. Teaching is VERY overwhelming at times, but you'll be great! That's a bummer about the fridge...maybe you'll have to get a lunch pail with a little ice box in it. :)
