Well, student teaching is finally over. It has been a whirlwind semester, but I really am going to miss Mrs. R and those kids.
I had a really great last week with the kids and it seemed like many of them were sad to see me go. One of my students wrote me a note saying that she hopes Rob and I have many beautiful children and that she thought it was a little too quiet when I'm not there! It was too cute.
On the last day, Mrs. R and the others on our team threw me a surprise birthday/graduation party during our afternoon planning period! They are all so sweet. I will really miss working with all of them. I gave Mrs. R some gifts before I left and we both cried and lamented how much we would miss each other. She has been the best part about my student teaching experience... I could not have made it through without her! I've invited her to my grad party and the wedding and I hope she and her family can make it!
Anyway, I have been drafting this blog for several days now and I should just finish it because it's getting pathetic.
Yesterday was my public speaking final, which I'm pretty sure I rocked, and then today was the Exit Exam for the College of Ed (which SUCKED!). I hate having to jump through more hoops to get my degree and certification, especially since I won't actually get my certificate till December. Too much bureaucracy for me. Ick.
Today after beating myself up about the exit exam, I came home and realized that I AM DONE. Though I will miss being in a university so much, I still would like to quote the immortal words of Alice Cooper to mark the sentiment of graduation.
"No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks
Out for summer
Out till fall
We might not go back at all
School's out forever
School's out for summer
School's out with fever
School's out completely"
The truth is, I'm sure I will go back eventually. I know I won't be able to stay away. I love lit classes too much. The next few years, at least, I will commit to being a working adult, but after that I will apply to grad school.
And the next day, I will devote to cleaning my disgusting apartment in preparation for my WONDERFUL family's visit! My apartment certainly needs the attention...
