Today was a good day!

Today was a good day because I had my in-person interview with Otter Tail Environmental. I was supposed to meet with the same person that did my phone interview about two weeks ago but I ended up with another person who also seemed very nice. He basically just reiterated what the job entailed (working independently 40+ hours a week doing mosquito surveillance and pesticide application when needed). I think the interview went very well and he seemed impressed that I already had a college degree and experience working in a lab keeping track of data and being very detail oriented. He said I would hear back from them probably by the end of next week, so around April 24th. Yesterday I applied for a teaching position at a school called Bruce Randolph School and today I got a call to come in for an interview on Monday!! I am so excited and hope it goes well. It sounds like a really neat school because it has been undergoing a transformation from a failing middle school into a passing scho...

School actually started!

I have survived the first two days of school with students there! Yay! My first impressions of the students are that on the whole they seem well behaved and respectful. There were only two minor incidences where students tried to challenge my mentor teacher as she was explaining the rules and such on the first day. She handled it well and did not argue with them. She told me that she had a very hard time with classroom management when she was in her first year of teaching. After that, she went back and took some classes on it and today she doesn’t have much of any problems with students because she has figured out her own style and discovered what works best for her. I do anticipate that this will be an area that I will struggle with. I think that I will have to remember that it is more important to maintain order in the classroom than to seem cool to students or to give them too much power. I didn’t actually interact much with the students today or yesterday, but I really tried...

4 months!!

It has been 4 months since I last posted... time flies! In the meantime: I took the Praxis. I turned 23. Student teaching ended. I graduated. Got Recognition of Excellence on Praxis. Moved back to Littleton. Celebrated Christmas with my mom and Jeremy. Went skiing. Went snowboarding = broken distal radius. 3 weeks in a long cast. 3 weeks in a short cast. Applied for my teaching license. Watched the super bowl. Went skiing. Went snowboarding. Painted the kitchen and entryway. Applied for teaching jobs. Watched all 4 1/2 seasons of Lost. Found a new apartment. Got a new haircut. Received teaching license. Applied for summer jobs. And now we are headed to Flagstaff for Easter tomorrow. There. We're all caught up! :-) This looks like a lot but ever since January it has been very boring for me. I went from having a million and one things to do and worry about and having to get up at 5 A.M. to having nothing to do and no time schedule. Needless to say I don't know what to...
