good news: i went through the entire first day of student teaching without encountering a single student. because students don't actually show up until thursday. today was 8 solid hours of teacher meetings.
(cue series of musings on how i could strangle myself with my new lanyard.)
i did get free lunch, though. tomorrow and wednesday will be teacher prep days where we set up the room, go over lesson plans, make seating charts, and various other real person real job stuff.
the first thing i heard upon walking into the office to check in this morning was from the secretary: "they're gonna work you to death!" she whispered to me with a coy smile as she walked me back to talk to the administrator.
thanks lady, that's exactly what i wanted to hear. i'll definitely keep her in mind as a good source of YOU MAKE ME WANT TO DIE feelings, if i'm ever low on those.
can you tell that i got up at 5:30 today?
also, half of the teacher population went to the university of utah, which is BYU's main rival. i don't know anything about sports, nor do i care. but i'd like to think that somewhere inside, i bleed cougar blue, so i pretended to be really loyal and true when people would make jabs about my school and our apparent lack of conference, whatever the heck that means. i have a feeling that'll get old pretty fast.
i brought home three textbooks with me, and they are ready and waiting for me to devour them in lesson plan creations. there is a little seedling of excitement in my heart, but i have a feeling that i'm really going to have to nurture it so it doesn't die a horrible, painful, stressed out death this semester.
end of first day report. stay tuned.

Look on the bright side... It can only get better from here, right?
You should have just made up some school and been like, "Well WBU is going to destroy both BYU and the University of Utah this year!" And then left the room chanting "WBU! WBU!"
