A Teacher

So. I'm getting used -finally- to the idea that I'm like,

a teacher.

Like, a teacher.

It was a rough introductory period. I was like,

"um, am I like, a teacher now? And...what in the hell does that really mean?? And what in the hell am I supposed to say to a roomful of cute but cranky 5 year olds??"

And...i'm still not allll the way there. Still got a huge learning curve to go up.

But it's quite frankly amazing to me that my principal saw something in me that made her think that I was cut out for the job. Granted, it's an assistant teaching position...i'm expected to be still learning and developing the craft at this point. It's just that I feel so shaky sometimes, so unprepared, so new, so undeveloped. But...i'm here. Working on emergency certification and my masters at once. Not quite sure how this all fell into my lap sooo quickly, and still trying to catch my SELF up with the speed of my life, but i'm glad to be here. Even as I continue to sort through everything and figure out how to best support my co-teacher and my kids. My co-workers are amazing (we go out for happy hour every week! lol), everyone works sooo hard, the kids are beautiful (love them more everyday)...

But yea...I'm trying to catch up with the speed of my life. Cuz shit is going fast. Also trying to learn to not abuse my body...trying to learn to go to sleep at human hours and eat like I'm trying to be around for the next fifty years or so.

I'm also dating someone, like i said before. Talk about things quickly falling into my lap! We are definitely polar opposites in terms of personality and I never would have thought that our paths would cross the way they are crossing...but they are...and it's cool...
