First Week!

Well, As of today I have taught more classes then I have in all of my previous steps put together! So far it is not to bad. Yesterday I felt weird because I had to make the students read and I was just sitting up front looking at them...Awkward. Today we worked with some music and a hand out. It is funny how cool these kids are! Some of them are just way to cool to get evolved! But for the most part, all of the kids are great. I have a lot of intelligent kids in my classroom.
You know I have found that so far teaching and the planning have not been the hardest part of the change here. It really feels natural to be in the classroom and teaching the students, it is really great. I think the hardest part for me so far is the change back home. Not because my parents irritate me, but because I do not have all the same faces around me that I have had for a long time! So if I seem a little more sentimental to you all and full of love, that is why, just because I miss you all that have made my life so awesome the past few years! It is also weird to get in to the habit of a full time job...I mean Copper just had 25 inches of snow in the past two days...I really really want to call in sick tomorrow! But I cant :(. But it is great, I have been learning so much. And for all of you who have been there for me in the past few years I am making you a present of some of our great memories.
Even though it has been a bit tough this week, I have somehow learned even more about myself! I think this change will help me strengthen my independence a bit more, let me to take action when I get into a new situation. I'm just really excited for the next few months...Though there is one bumming factor, I was going to try and go to Europe with some of the foreign language classes, but they went last year, and they only go ever other year. So unless I go with the English department...I will have to wait till summer!
But, I get to go to a dance, the first time in 4 years! OHHH YEA. Feb. 7th 930 -11 Fiesta time. And also i'm excited beacuse I get to be an assistant coach or help guy, I dont know what my title is, for the Men's swim team! wooohoo.
Well hope all is grand for all you,
Catch you on the flipside
