Survival Phase...

Posted by Rachel at 03:00
Nearly 2 months ago, I was at a super fun meeting where a bunch of experienced teachers gave us new teachers a scary list of all the phases we were going to go through. According to their plan, I'm in survival mode at the moment... and they're right. It's all about survival. One day at a time. Take it as it comes. It's nuts. 12 hour work days mean I eat sleep and breathe lesson plans, worksheets (sorry Dr. Whaley) and other kid stuff. I miss MLC, my friends, and the theater. I'm counting down the days until my mom comes and then when I get to go back to New Ulm. That's what keeps me going at the moment... counting down to fun weekend things. Thankfully, the days and weeks go amazingly fast. At this rate I'll be 30 and living with 10 cats before I know it! But for now, I'll at least follow one thing my profs taught me... teacher bedtime. It's only 10:10. I'm early -- thank you Dr. Wendler

Thanks for the update. I found your blog on the internet during one of my random "Feld" searches on Google. Glad to hear you are surviving the first year of teaching so far. I enjoyed the photos of your place in Kenosha. Are there any other family members with blogs that you are aware of?

Now, why would anyone really want 10 cats? Maybe 2 cats, a pet monkey, a lizard and a dog. Now, that I could see.
