Wow, it has been a long time since I have written.\u00a0 I suppose the main reason is that after a couple of required reflections (which I have been posting), my new supervisor said that I didn\u2019t have to write any more, and so I haven\u2019t.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t written a blog in three weeks I think.\u00a0 This does not mean that I haven\u2019t written though.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been busy.\u00a0 It turns out that all the people who said that I was nuts for taking three university classes plus my student teaching were absolutely right.\u00a0 Truth is, any one of the three university classes would have been enough to keep me more than busy.\u00a0 Three has been insane.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been doing homework every waking moment for the last three weeks, sometimes even during class.\u00a0 This week has been one of the worst weeks so far because next week is finals week, so I have all kinds of papers due and two finals to study for and also next week marks the culmination of my student teaching experience (meaning that I teach all week using material I have created \u2014 except that I\u2019m still creating it.\u00a0 Next week will likely be J.I.T. \u2014 Just In Time).\u00a0 In addition to all that, I must finish the experimental work for my last TPA and I haven\u2019t even read the requirements because I\u2019ve been too busy!\u00a0 I have to read that TPA before I get to school on Monday.\u00a0 With all the work I have, I was hoping not to go to church tomorrow, except that I\u2019m teaching a class and I\u2019m an emergency replacement in the band, which means that I must also practice sometime before tomorrow.\u00a0 Today, I skipped an all-important teacher job fair that I had worked very hard to even qualify for\u2026 and then was too busy to go to.\u00a0 I could have gotten a job today (in theory, though not likely)!\u00a0 Gaa!\u00a0 At least the madness ends on Wednesday (the end of classes at the University).\u00a0 After that, I can breathe a little and, starting next week, concentrate on my one<\/em> Tuesday night class, my portfolio, and my three remaining TPA assignments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
