When working with students every day is different because every day a student may be in a different mood. One day they may be eager to please and work, and the next it's like pulling teeth to get the simplest tasks accomplished. Thursday went really well, but by the time I was done Friday I felt like I was back at day one. Sometimes I feel like I'm making no difference at all, but my associate teacher is very encouraging and says there is a difference, so I'll just have to trust her.
Today I did not go to school because I had a meeting with my teaching advisor for an end of the year recap. Only six students out of all the first and second year French student candidates showed up, but it was really interesting getting to hear about the experiences of the second years, so I feel a little more prepared for next year when I actually start teaching. I don't feel nervous about it at the moment, but I can guarantee by the time May rolls around next year I'm going to be ready to run off to Mexico or something.
Today I also applied for a TA position, which was an adventure in itself. First I had to pick up the transcript I had ordered the week before, found out that it was already paid for on my account, which I realized would have to pay off before the 17th when I get to choose classes or else I won't be allowed to register. And then there was this thing with finding out what AAU meant so I could finish feeling out my application and ugh... Needless to say I was happy to get out of there, especially after finding out that I couldn't buy my parking pass until June 11th after hiking up all the stairs to get to the parking office. I'm going to do my account stuff and parking pass stuff on the 11th, just so I can get it out of the way all at once.
So that was my adventure for the day. I'm going to start posting my year 1 blogs this week, I think, just so they're all up here and in one place. And I believe that is all... XD
