Today, I was observed by my principal. He came in unannounced at the beginning of 2nd block. I think everything went well. We will have a post-observation meeting soon to discuss how it went. The students were really great once they realized we were being observed. The only thing that I would change, if I knew ahead of time is the subject. I was teaching on cultures today. That is probably the one subject that I know the least about and feel the most insecure about. However, I think it went okay.
It seems that when it rains it pours. I am having an advisory board meeting tonight from 6-8. I am already anxious about that. Yesterday, we started clinical rotations at the hospital; you want your students to do well and be on their best behavior. I also had a MD appt. right after-school yesterday. I have company at my house this week (my husband's parents). I keep thinking that my life is going to slow down, but being 33 weeks pregnant I don't think that will happen anytime soon. I guess this is the life of a mom, wife, teacher, student etc....
"Calgon take me away"! Sometimes it all comes at once. What did Steve Winwood say, "you've got to roll with it"! We'll I'm begining to feel the crunch myself. I'll be starting a new house in about 2 weeks. I'll be sub-contracting very little in order to stretch the money, so that means that most of it will be done by ME! And that means all of my time outside of school will be spent on my house. I have industry accreditation for my program to focus on. Yes, sometimes when it rains it pours! God says he won't give you more than you can handle. You can handle it Jamie! Your an NTI student!
