A Learning Experience...Literally.


I'm here.

For the last (nearly) two weeks, I have been a resident of Las Vegas, Nevada.

I do believe this is where the inhabitants of the Bad Place go to cool down...

Just kidding...kind of.

I have begun my student teaching at Basic High School in Henderson. Classes start at 7:10 a.m. I have to be there at 6:50...I didn't know there was a 5:30 in the morning...
Two days in class with students and so far, so good.

I don't really know how I feel about being here. I kind of feel like it's all just a dream...that might be from the waking up so early...

I am teaching Theatre as well as Journalism...I definitely have a better feel for the Journalism. I think it's a bit more of a linear subject which makes it easier to teach. Well, for me anyway.

Both of my cooperating teachers are fantastic. They are both pumped about the topic and their enthusiasm shows in their teaching.

I'm still terrified of teaching. But, with a little practice and preparation, I think I will survive the next 3 months... 12 and a half weeks...86 days...not that I'm counting down or anything...

Not always knowing where I'm going, but never, ever lost.
