almost over!!!!

Friday was my last day with the first graders, and then Monday brought on the beginning of Hell Week. On Monday night I can't really do anything because of school and work, but I managed to get a little bit done before I had to go to work. Tuesday night, I spent seven hours in the computer lab, working on homework. Today, I think I only spent four hours in the computer lab, BUT! I won't have to spend any more time in the computer lab! The last assignments due are tomorrow and Friday, and I have them done!

At the beginning of the week I had to complete:
Service Learning Project
Themed Unit
Case Study
Practicum Notebook
Field Trip Assignment

I managed to get almost all of that completed in two days. I don't know how I did it...and I don't know if the quality is top notch, but it's gotta count for something, 'cause I sure spent a lot of time in that computer lab, slaving away over a cold keyboard.

All I have left to do is to write up something real quick for a Science thing I did a long time ago, organize my D&R binder into categories (the teacher provided us with a binder full of articles we're never going to read, and then has us categorize it...*eyeroll* What a waste of time). I also have to meet with my portfolio advisor tomorrow because I got my portfolio back on Monday and had some "does not meet"s in there, three rationales/one artifact, and they didn't like my philosophy of education. Something about getting hugs from children sends up a red flag about physical contact with students. Made me kinda mad, especially because it was good enough to get into the College of Education in the first place, but apparently not good enough to student teach next year.

The binder and portfolio don't have to be done 'til Thursday the 10th, however, so I have a little bit of time. This is going to be the first weekend in MONTHS that I'm going to be able to come home from work, shower, and nap for three hours without feeling guilty that I haven't done any homework!! I'm so excited!!

Also, Aaron's graduation from BHSU is the following weekend, and my parents are coming up to meet his parents (and be there for his graduation celebration), so that should be exciting. I'm just really excited for school to finally be out (7 more days!), and to figure out what I'm going to do with all my free time!! Maybe I'll catch up on lost sleep, first. Then figure something out. Yeah...that sounds nice.

Finals are next week, and they'll be cake compared to this week. Wish me luck, anyway!
