COMPLETED BLOG-- finally!!

This blog has been on my 'to-do' list. For some reason, however, I never get to it!

So far, so good-- still. The anxiety of starting Monday is starting to build. The list of 'stuff' I need to accomplish before Monday is starting to build. The questions from students about me teaching... are starting to build. The excitement (I think you know where this is going)... is starting to build. I just hope that this 'building' phase will not crash into pieces once I start teaching.

One of my biggest concerns is classroom management because it is only within my control to a point. Ultimately, the students are in control of whether they listen, or not. Both Dave and Molly said that I should be 'fine'. The reassurance is wonderful, but yet again, I just want to start. I do not want to think about it anymore because the more I think about it or am asked, "are you ready?" makes me wonder... am I really ready for this? Luckily, I have mentor teachers who believe in me.

As for the stories about students, there are some. None that are truly worth telling. As for now, I need to work on Hamlet!
