ddickinson: Good morning, lovely people of Fred!

Just a quick visit to wish you all a very lovely day, and an wonderful weekend. It is a nice sunny day here today, a little chilly, but a gorgeous day non the less. I will be spending the day making a start on a little gardening and enjoying all the fresh air and lovely wildlife, nothing too strenuous, I am not going to push myself too much when I am hoping to be away for the weekend seeing my partner perform (so exited! :-)) and just having a great time with her for the rest of the weekend away.

I hope you all are doing good and that you lovely people will have a nice weekend. Take care of yourselves!

*big hugs and silly waves*
*quick big hugs*
Thank you. I wish you a great day and a lovely weekend too :)

FearfulSymmetry: *waves at thread* Whew, got a pretty early start at my internship today, but the upside is that I have the afternoon off now. How are you all doing today? :)
Hey *big hug*
Always good on a friday :)
Do you like the internship so far?

I'm doing good, thank you :)

AgentBirdnest: *waves to super slow Fearful* ;-p
Good afternoon, Ms Metry. Are you enjoying the internship so far?
*slow motion wave* :)

Hello Agent, how are you feeling today? Yep, I'm definitely enjoying it! Unfortunately my coach (the teacher I'm normally paired with) had other things to do today, so I wasn't able to teach any classes. But I made use of the opportunity to observe a couple of classes with another teacher, and that experience was quite educational. :)

Hey! *hug* Haha yes, free Friday afternoons are awesome! :)

Yes, I'm really enjoying it! The students can be a handful but it's never boring. :P They're not quite sure what to make of me. I was called 'old' last week (despite being only four years older than the student in question), but just today a 13-year old questioned why I was using the elevator, since that's only meant for teachers. :P It's quite funny to be honest. I keep expecting some older teacher to kick me out of the staff room for looking like a student, but it hasn't happened yet. Of course I do make sure to march in like I own the place. ;)

Good to hear you're doing well. Do you have anything planned for the weekend?

Every day has it ups and downs... Some worse or better than others. I guess it's sometimes more important to find balance and stability, rather than trying to be happy all the time. Failing that - I find that Torchlight helps.

Good to hear you like it :-) Have you taught any classes already?

Damn right :D

That's great to hear :)
I cannot remember having that much fun with the student teachers when i was still at school :P

Thank you - other than working on the paper - no....

*big hug* That's a good way to look at it. And yes, drown your sorrows with games! That always works for me too. ;) Even so, I hope you'll have lots of ups in the coming days.

Yep, I taught two classes on Monday. It was quite the experience. :P Things did not go perfectly of course, but it went quite well all things considered, and my coach was very satisfied. So I'm happy about that. :)

The ones I actually teach try to test me because they figure they'll be able to get away with more things since I'm inexperienced ... But I'm going to lay down the law! :P I've already resolved to separate two girls if they keep chatting next week. Sending one of them to the opposite end of the classroom should help to lower disruptions by like 50%. :P

Ugh, papers ... I've not been working as much on my thesis as I should have ... Good luck with your paper!

Well that sounds logical that they try that - but they won't have any chance :D

Achievement unlocked! :D

Thank you :)

That would freak me the hell out. Teaching. The power you have is amazing. You could randomly decide to just mess around with the kids' minds, and decide to teach them something that is total bullsh*t, and they'll believe it for the rest of their life because you are their teacher :-p ... I guess that might not work as well for high-school kids as it would for younger kids though... My point is, that much responsibility would scare me ;-p
