The Variety Show
In school the other day my cooperating teacher explained to the kids that Ed Sullivan ran a variety show. This is a variety post, because it contains a little bit of everything.
First, my placement is the very best I could have hoped for. My cooperating teacher is a great teacher and person, and very easy to talk to and work with everyday. The staff in general is very nice and the kids are polite. Who knew that middle school students would be polite? I have had a few little teaching experiences thus far, but I am excited about tomorrow. I’m working with the 9th grade clarinets, and then teaching-wise I really take off with classes!
Glenn and I have been fighting like nutcases because we are so stressed about finding a place to live. We had the perfect house (aka, nice area, decent house, but total fixer-upper) but it slipped through our fingers so to speak. I think we finally truced and realized that it is more the stress and disappointment speaking, because tonight was the first time either one of us was truly relaxed in awhile. We had dinner at our favorite place, Tosco’s, and had some pretty silly conversations.
Our realtor thinks we’re insane because we were talking about our future children, Skeletor and Evilynn, and calling them such. Not knowing it was an inside joke she made quite a face and was like “are you really naming them that?”
I did some scrapbooking before the beast that is student teaching began, but I didn’t ever post the photos. Here is one for my SAI sister Caroline’s recital
And our Members-in-Training put on a skit This is possibly my favorite-est page ever.
Leslie, I’ve been using all of the ribbon you sent me, and I completely went to town with the tag book! Thank you sooo much!
Speaking of SAI, we had our first meeting last night and it was WONDERFUL to see all of my sisters. I yelled at our president to take things like “commencement” off of the calendar. This semester is going to be amazing. 
I hope these are enough ramblings to tide everyone over! (by everyone I mean the one person who reads this…haha)
