Ramblings of the overtired girl...

So right now it is 3:42AM, Newfoundland standard time of course! I am sitting here in the dark, listening to the boyfriend snore. Why can't I sleep? WHY??

I was all comfy and ready to sleep around 12ish, when the brain went into overdrive and I started to worry about the upcoming school year. This lead me to reading and printing off more of the curriculum guide and finding stuff on share point. I've realized that I need more of a refresher than I thought. It's been 4 years since I've completed my Biology degree, 5 years since I've taken any Biology courses and 6 since I've taken any Chemistry. I am teaching both starting next week! Oh boy! I know what tomorrow is going to consist of for sure.

Am I nervous? Hell yeah! Am I scared? You bet! I am going to a new school after all. I saw on facebook how friends of mine will be teaching at the school I was at last year and it makes me sad. Then I wonder how all my former students are doing. I miss them. It was like that during my internship too. I missed some of them when I left. I had some of them coming through the drive thus at KFC with their parents and telling me how they were doing. (Aww). But it was nothing like the bond I made with some students last year.. being it was my first class alone as a 'real' teacher. I think last year went great. Was I a good teacher? Probably not. Will I improve? Hell yeah.. but I'm teaching something I'm good at and passionate about this time around. Do I think I made a lasting impression on the students? I know in some I did. I know other's didn't like me. But that comes with being a teacher.

Lastly, I think I have a new obsession with Forever 21. I went there while I was in Orlando and bought the cutest earrings ever. I keep looking on their website and fighting the urge to order stuff. If I knew my size there for sure, I so would. Oh well.

I think I should try to sleep. Boyfriend will be getting up for work in 3 hours and waking me again. *le sigh*
