i'm a serf.

it's been a while since i've ranted about student teaching. and when i say "a while," i mean like 2 posts. whatever.

anyway, the other day, i was thinking about student teaching and how it's sucking the happiness from my life, when i realized, student teaching is like serfdom (happy, tristan?): being worked like a dog and not getting paid to do it. and then i realized, wait a second...i'm not only not getting paid to work like a dog, i'm paying the MAN to work like a dog! full tuition! what is this, america, or feudal russia?!

in other news, i found out that my last two days of student teaching are what the man likes to call "informed observation." which basically means that i don't teach, but sit and watch. so my last official day of teaching is november 24th. then thanksgiving break, then two days of informed observation.

so i only have 13 MORE DAYS of teaching left. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Thanksgiving won't be the same without you...can we Skype??? I suspect after two days worth of "informed observation", you'll be ready to give some pretty enlightened, 'informed' observations to the man!
