Today was my last day student teaching.

Surreal...
Seventy days ago, I started and swore it would never end.
Now here I am on the other side, reflecting on the good and the bad.


I complained about student teaching quite a bit over the past few months. I've tried to keep it off the blog because no one wants to hear me whine, but now that it's done, none of it seems important. A couple of bad experiences will make great stories when I sit down to write some more stand-up, but all-in-all, it's been grand. I'm really going to miss some of these kids.



I wish I could say that my semester is done, but there are still three weeks of classes at the College and I'm taking two, so I'm still going to have to be productive. Although, now, I'm going to be able to sleep in. I'm excited, to say the least.

This evening, I'm leaving for Rocky Mount, North Carolina. For the past eleven years, the SJC chapter of Habitat for Humanity has gone to Rocky Mount. We started going because they were hit very hard by a hurricane, and we still go because they always need help. We've developed a great relationship with the affiliate there and they look forward to us coming every year. I went on this trip last year and I'm super excited to be going again. My goal is to write at least one blog (with pictures) about the trip, so check back next Tuesday or Wednesday, and I should have something up.

Right now, I need to go because I've yet to pack for North Carolina and we leave in a few hours.
