This week is the first week where I am student teaching five days a week. What does this mean, you ask? Well, this means that I am in my fourth grade classroom, five days a week, all day. It means that I have classes Monday and Thursday nights from 4:30-6:30 (meaning I leave my apt at 7:20 am, don't come back until 6:30 pm, eat, shower, and go to bed). Good bye cooking on most nights, Hello take-out. Now I finally understand why so many teachers just buy food for lunch. Oh, and my thesis is due in 2 months... But in everything that's going on, praise God for preparing me for the real world... and this is nothing compared to being married and having a family.
Please pray for my sanity, faithfulness to God as well as teaching and school, and energy to care for others.
