Teaching

It is a little difficult stepping into a classroom being the third teacher to come around, becides a rotating sub that has been in there. I myself am still finding my teaching style. Attempting to find a way around the school board's policy that no homework can be collected for a grade. So now we are having daily quizzes. Which I think that I need to adjust because so many of them were not quite getting the point of the fact that all they have to do is do their homework and I am giving them the points. I am taking questions directly from their homework then having them those five problems, it is open book, open note, even open group. Only they have five minutes to do the problems. So, if they actually did their homework they could just copy the problems and get full credit. I don't know though.

Don't Cha. Yeah Amanda, that one.

Central is telling me that it will be another six weeks or so for them to process my degree. Which means that I will be more than likely ten weeks for me to get an actual teaching certificate. This sort of hinders my plan of getting five thousand in those ten weeks for working. I still am working but I am not sure how happy the district will be if I have to fill out an emergencry teaching certificate form. I don't know. Teaching is fun and all but this is getting to be a hassle.

The marathon was good, interesting feeling. Started out following someone, opun later analysis I realized that they might be going slightly faster than I would like to but it was a good warm up. Kept seeing Pinky throughout the race, until the end. About mile eight I shot ahead until mile twelve. At mile fifteen everything went numb, my legs were tired still but nothing hurt. Which was good. The hill at mile twenty was long, but I ran the whole way. Except when I was getting water. I found out after my first water break that you tend to choke when you attempt to drink water while running. Met some interesting people while I was running but I ended up finishing alone. Aunt Lisa got to watch me finish which was cool.

Helping out with the wrestling team is helping me get back into shape. It is also fun, some of them are interesting to watch. It is kind of amazing to look at the maturity level. I was told that I was never like that when I was that age. Which does give weight to the people that say that I was a little serous in high school. But it does take something away from those that say that I joke around way too much. When I am in that room I get cold again.
