So, I feel like I need to make a post although I’m not sure where to even begin updating.

+ I absolutely hate school. Lol. I can’t wait to be done with undergrad and then done with grad. I’m finding that after a year without math, I’ve completely forgotten how to study! By the end of last year, I had it down to an art, and now, I’m trying to study for the midterm I have on Friday and it seems overwhelming how much I need to know. Eh. Just need to pass though so I can walk in June!

+ Teaching is going ok. Yesterday was my first day back at the middle school after their month long spring break. I forgot how exhausting it is to teach two periods at the middle school and then to have to go straight to the high school to teach two more periods there. I’m still going back and forth about whether I prefer high school or middle school. I like that I can talk to the high school kids in a more adult way, whereas with my middle school kids, I feel like they’re children. Maybe it’s cuz I’m working with 6th graders who really are very young. I know for certain that Algebra is my favorite to teach. I think most students struggle with Algebra because it’s their first time really getting into the abstracts of math. Eh, I don’t know…I like unfolding Algebra for the kids, and it’s so beautiful when they get it. ;P

+ My parents got back from Asia a couple days ago. I wanna go to China! And Taiwan! Maybe winter break next year. It’s nice having my parents home. Takes a load off of me…

+ My UCSD advisor’s coming to watch me teach next week. Oh God!!!!!! I’ve had a lot of ppl see me teach and it’s usually not a big deal at all, but this actually counts for something! He’s coming to see if I’m ready to have my own classroom next year and teach 3/5 time. I think I’m ready, I hope he thinks I’m ready, and I hope I can get a job! I talked to Cari last week and she told me they needed an Algebra teacher next year and that she’d talk to the principal for me! Woohoo. I get to know tomorrow how that went. I would looove to be back to CHS next year.

+ It’s slowly starting to warm up here in SD. I love when it’s beautiful out. :)

+ Memorial day can’t come soon enough.
