Turning Tables Round in Mark's & Spencer's

You know what I miss? Internet. And TV.

But, I'm making due. I check my email regularly, and there are only three shows I watch religiously (Stella, The Daily Show, and Arrested Development), and they are finished, repeats or the new season hasn't begun yet, respectively. Most of the websites I frequent have slowed down in posting, in order to allow me to catch up.

I'm excited and nervous for student teaching to start. My first placement is in Mt. Morris Jr. High, beginning on Tuesday. Unfortunately, every person that knows something about the school reacts in the same way when I tell them: they grit their teeth as if to say "Eeech.... Good luck..." Turns out the school is impoverished and a bit rough. Please keep in mind, parents, students, teachers and supervisors, that I have not yet been to this school, thusly, my comments reflect only what I have been told, not first hand experiences. (Translation: Please don't fail me, I'm just reporting.)

Today is Maureen and my five month anniversary. It feels like yesterday and five years ago at the same time. Also in the news, the college gave me cookies and ice cream for free today. I didn't have to buy or skip lunch today! Thank you college. Now stop giving me parking tickets.
