It is 4:03 on the West Coast and I am officially done with everything I have to do for my student teaching.  My unit plan is done and submitted for review.  My reflection on my unit is done and submitted for review.  The exit stuff for my online math portfolio is done and submitted for review.  You know what this means?  This means I have absolutely nothing left to do this week except sit in classes and observe teachers.  This means I can watch TV/movies and read books without worrying about not getting something done on time.  Of course, now that I have all this free time I don't know what I want to do first.  (My dad suggests I clean my room but that's probably not going to happen.)  But whatever.  I'm free and it's never felt better.  And since I already have a job lined up for next year I don't have to worry about that either.  Now if only it could be Friday already so I can be completely done with my student teaching.

Actually, right now, it's more like can't speak.

My fever may have passed Thursday but now my sore throat is starting to impair my job.  It was horrible; for most of the day I sounded like a teenage boy whose voice was changing.  In 6th period I got the students to do things for me by promising to whisper if they did.  (My whispers came out like squeaks which greatly amused them.)  I spent an extra half-hour after school today making copies of back-up worksheets in case I really don't have a voice tomorrow and can't verbally teach the new unit.  I wish I could take a sick day but since I've already missed 2 days and we get Memorial Day off, I'm down to exactly 52 days of student teaching - which is the minimum amount we're supposed to do.  Oh well.  I guess I'll just have to stay silent for most of the day and only speak when absolutely necessary.  Oh, and try not to yell over my students too much.

Show us where you work.
