I am a first year teacher. You tell me to do something, I am going to do it. I will not argue. I will not question. I will just do it. If it seems impossible, I will find a way to get it done. However, no one will fight for me, but me. So, this is the struggle now. How to do everything, yet not get walked all over.
Today was the first day of school. We have half days today and tomorrow, where half the kids come on each day. I met 7 adorable 4 year olds today. We sang. We danced. We had snack. Hopefully the sitting on the carpet, lining up, and bathroom procedures will come more easily as time goes on. I cannot wait to meet my other 9 babies tomorrow!
I am struggling to get back into a routine. I have shows I need to watch (because Real Housewives is far more important than sleep). I think this is why my friends always told me at school, "Jules, you can sleep when you're dead." So, for now, I am alive and well, and living on few hours of sleep.
As I completed my first day as a REAL teacher, I think the thing I missed most about PC was student teaching. I had so many ups and downs last semester. I laughed, I cried. However, it was the best preparation of the unknown I am walking into now.
