What am I looking forward to about summer
I am looking forward to only having to worry about work! My job is really easy, but it is time consuming because I am not allowed to work on homework while I am there, so it has been a big juggle of energy to manager work full-time and then school full-time during summer. I've managed really well so far, but since there are only 2 weeks left of school, I know my mind has checked out. Besides only having work to worry about, I am looking forward to reading the my wish list that I created at the beginning of summer. All of the books are ones that my placement class will be reading all year long, but unfortunately I have only read one book out of the 8 that my students will be reading. So, I plan on doing that so I can be a source of information for the students and be prepared for when I start doing my observation hours over the course of the year. I have been placed at CVHS and their first day of class is September 4th, so I plan on busting out a ton of observation hours in the couple of weeks before I have to start school. In the fall, I am required to do 90 hours in the entire quarter, and I already know, my schedule is going to be very difficult to work with in order to get the hours in. Therefore, I want to do as much as I can while I have the most free time. I cannot wait for the day when I can only focus on teaching instead of being a student and teacher in training. It is a fun exciting experience, but it gets really exhausting after a while. Finally, I want to sleep!! I have had the weirdest sleep schedule this summer because some nights after work, I don't get home until 12:30 and then will have to wake up for either work or school the next day at 9. I have class two days a week that start at 9 and when I work the morning shift three days a week I have to start at 9 too. So I haven't gotten to sleep in a whole lot this summer. I feel my body begging for sleep, but I am the type of person who doesn't like to take naps during the day because I feel lazy every time I do, so I usually go about my day feeling really tired. In the end of this summer quarter, I know that it was worth it. Because I took these classes and had a really busy schedule, I am on track to graduate in the spring and complete my full-time student teaching the last 3 months of my college career at EWU.
