I am soooo ready for break! I need next week to do absolutely no school work whatsoever. It will be so nice when I can just wake up and not have to go up to school. I will just go skating and go to work. Although, i'm not sure what I will do with myself at night with no homework. I'll probably be bored out of my mind and walk around my house or go on a cleaning frenzy in my room. I don't really have too much to say tonight.. my mind is going in all directions right now. I'm doing homework for 4 different classes at the same time and I have so many other things on my mind besides school.
If I think about anything I want to write later, I will write more.
Night All!

Confused
I thought that day light savings time happened when it gets to be midnight, but none of my clocks changed. Does anyone know when day light savings time actually happens? I have never been up this late to find out.

First Lesson
I taught my first lesson today!!! I taught frequency distribution in a 2nd grade class. I was pretty nervous since it was my first time but everything ended up going really well! After the students went to lunch I sat down with the teacher and she asked me to reflect on what I thought went well and what I need to work on. I had a hard time thinking about things that went well. That is always hard for me to do. The one thing that I was proud of was that I was able to manage the class through 90% of the lesson! I went a little over on time and began to lose the students, so time is something I definitely need to work on for next time. I am ready to teach my next lesson now!
I had such a cute outfit today to teach. I had on a 3-quarter length suit jacket that tied in the front with a white blouse and a plaid skirt that had ruffles.
I have so much homework to do tonight but hopefully i'll be able to come back on later and write more. If not, have a great night!!

Up Early and a Busy Day Ahead
I can't believe how early I woke up today, 6:30am, and I didn't even have to be up until 8:30. I was actually able to get some homework done and I still have a few things left to do. I have a pretty busy day today. I am reading a really good book for school it's One Child by Torey Hayden. I am only allowed to read up to Chapter 4 and I hated putting the book down. I really wanted to keep reading it.
I have my skating lesson this morning. I am in training now for the next 3 weeks to prepare for a show and competition. I just need to remember to bring in water with me to the rink today, I always forget to. This is going to be the hardest program that I have ever done before! 5 jumps, 3 are combination jumps and 2 different spins and one of those spins has to be a change foot spin. My sit-spin makes me so dizzy, I think it makes everyone dizzy. I spin so many times basically sitting low to the ice and then I have to quickly get up and spin out of it. It's crazy but it's my favorite spin :) !!! It took me like 3-4 weeks to get this spin then finally 2 weeks ago it clicked!
Then I have school, only two classes but they are both 1 hr and 15 min long. I have a group meeting afterwards to do an assignment for the book I am reading. Hopefully that won't last too long but it will give me something to do before skating tonight at 5:30. I love my classes this semester, they are just really challenging though! I got an A- on my PowerPoint/Handout project!! I was so excited but I could have had an A if I added pictures to my PowerPoint. If I would have known that I would have put them in, we never got a rubric for this project. So I was kind of frustrated about the visuals part. I'm hoping this project brings my grade up in this class though. Because of one test my overall grade went down to an 86 and I want a higher grade, so hopefully this project helped bring that up!
I'm off to do some more homework before I leave in a half hour!

School Parking
My school doesn't have enough parking as it is and yesterday we had a flood on campus where our PE Center is and the Ice Arena are. So going to school today I was going to be early for my class but instead nope I was 5 minutes late. It took me 20/25 minutes to find a parking spot and it took me a few min to park my car because the space was so tight. I absolutely hate being late! I like being to class 10-15 minutes early. I get very anxious when I am running tight for time. Then when I get into the class and we had to take a "What do you know (not graded quiz)" and I couldn't remember anything from the reading or notes that I took. I felt so stupid. I can't remember anything anymore, I have to write everything down and even then I sometimes forget that I write it down. I would like my brain that is good at memorizing things back. I can memorize skating program but that's because I drill it all the time but school stuff, forget it. But it doesn't help that I don't understand the material either.
I keep thinking to myself that maybe I am not cut out for a teacher because I feel that I'm not smart because I don't understand things. I love kids and I want to teach but maybe I'm not smart enough. I have been so frustrated lately.

Skating
So excited to be back to my normal skating week. Last week through me off so badly. I hated not skating as much as I normally do. I'm back in action and I'm ready to finish my program today! I am doing "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" for my program. My costume came and its adorable.. a picture is to come I just don't have time to upload one now because I have to leave in a minute to go to my skating lesson. The costume is gold with tons of glitter :)
I also have school today and an exam. I'm a bit nervous for the exam. I have been having a tough time remembering what I read but I have been studying and will study more before the exam. I just hope I do as well as I would like to.
Off to Skating and school and allergy shots.
More later :)
