Not what I wanted to hear

Its official, I will not be done with student teaching in May like I thought I would be. It looks like I’ll be able to go home for the summer, but then I’ll have to come back for a whole new student teaching for special education. I am not too happy about this but I don’t really have another choice.

I’m sure when I look back the extra time wont be a big deal. But for right now it’s one of the most disappointing things that could happen. I’m pretty overwhelmed with everything going on and what was keeping me going was the count down till May when it will all be over. I guess now my count down is just until I can have a break.

I’m really sorry if my complaining about this has offended anybody. I know there are worse things in the world that could happen. I don’t mean to act like a total brat. It’s just not the news I needed to hear yesterday after I had been working nonstop for 12 hours and am so completely homesick. Just because I may have said I would rather quit then stay here in Hawaii doesn’t mean I’m not a team player or that I’m not committed to the program. I love teaching and I love the school of education program here. I’m sorry if my emotions and stress made it seem like I was a brat. I really didn’t mean it. I was just overwhelmed and freaked out to have my plans just change so fast knowing there was nothing I could do.

Anyway for my day of thanks today I am thankful for cell phones. I don’t know what I would do without mine. I think being able to call and text my friends and family may be the only thing that is keeping me half way rational
