Goin' Back To Hogwarts

So I feel as if I need to put up another post fairly soon.  I would love for this to be a long one, but seeing as I am pretty sick it probably will just be an update.

I finished my pre-teaching week and honestly I still have no idea what I am doing. It has really been a hard week on me. I’ve gone so long being so sure and I feel like I’ve now been dropped in an ocean with no idea which way to swim. For now I’m just going to try to enjoy the summer will exploring what I really want to do. I know that if I am patient everything will work out for the best in the end, but I have never been known for my patience. Here’s to an opportunity to grow!!

Also for the most exciting news in a long time… IT IS OFFICIAL!!! IM GOING TO WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER THIS SUMMER!! That’s right!! Be jealousJ. Cassaudra, Ariel, and I finalized everything last night. We will be leaving on a Thursday, be in the park Friday and Saturday, and driving back Sunday. So that’s TWO days in the park plus we will be getting early admission to the parks. I am so excited for this!! I have literally been spending the bare minimum for weeks now!!  Be prepared for many more mentions of the upcoming trip!!

There isn’t really much else to mention. The summer has really had a boring start but it is relaxing. I promise next time I will have more news, but for now I am just going to try to get better.

Current Book: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (I know I’ve been on this book for three post but know that it is summer I can actually read more than a chapter a week!!)

Sorry it has been a while. I’m pretty sure the goal of finals week was to set a new record of mental and emotional breakdown in one week.  I survived though, a little worse for the wear, but still in one piece. This week my brain has received just as much of a bashing. I’m doing my pre-teaching week in a 4^th grade class. I’ve shadowed before and didn’t expect much difference, but my first day the teacher left me in charge. VERY SCARY!! And the whole thing has left me questioning everything.

For the past years I have been so incredibly sure that I wanted to be an elementary school teacher. Last semester I considered secondary English, but that was still in education. Now I am utterly confused by everything. I don’t know what other options there are, but I just don’t know anymore about education. I am for sure in full spiraling mode.

It makes me feel better that I’m not alone. Two of my friends, one in music ed and one in special ed, are both going through their pre-teaching weeks now and are going through the same thing. I’m glad I’m not alone in this but don’t wish this confusion on anyone else either.

I guess for now I will try to continue going in each day with an open mind and try to do some soul searching. Maybe I should look into some other careers though. I promise after this week of sleeping and teaching only I will continue to write.  For now though…
