So Saturday was my first day with 2 new classes. The morning was Introduction to Special Education, and the afternoon was Children’s Literature. Both will be very intense classes, but I only have 5 more classes of each. So bring it on – not too much though. The special ed. class is fun, I’m there with nearly everyone from my previous EDU class, and a few from my American Gov. class (hack, cough). So I know the majority of the people, and that is good… very good. Because….. My Children’s lit. class is full of strangers. Six of them to be exact. They have all taken classes together, and with this professor – but I haven’t. I don’t know anyone, and I don’t know the professor. Poohey. Seriously. But….. come what may, I’m gonna be a teacher some day, and a bunch of catty strangers aren’t going to stop me. OK, I added the catty part myself, but I kinda got that vibe from them. I hope they prove me wrong. So far I have done all the reading for the Lit. class, and taken copious notes on it because I loathe literature. I showed up to my Special Ed. class, and she announced that we were having a quiz on the notes we took on our reading. DOH! I was so sick of taking notes when I started reading the special ed stuff that I didn’t bother. See – literature always ends up biting me in the back side! MAN! And… may I interject (strong teacher word there!) who is this woman who 5 min. after meeting each one of us feels the need to slap a quiz in front of us. The absolute NERVE! Well, next week will be better. It’s tuesday, and I need to find a book to write a 2-3 paged paper on. Hmmm…. Plenty of time.
