I started today by parking my car at the garage. They’ll be putting in a new master cylinder later today. Next stop was putting up tables and chairs at church for an event. While there, I also met the pastor we’re interviewing this week. He seemed nice. I had a couple of hours free when I got home so I did some homework, but I didn’t get to the projects that are due next week. I guess I’ll tackle them over the weekend. At 1PM, my car was ready so I biked to the shop and got my car. Not long after that, I went to NHU to talk to my student teacher placement person. She was half an hour late (a miscommunication on scheduling), but we did meet. It turns out that one of my classes is only two units, not three, so I’m one unit short of being able to student teach in January. Bummer! She’ll try to sneak me in anyway, but I don’t know that she can. She has a perfect master teacher for me, she says, though he is in the South Bay, far, far away from me. Oh well, it’s only six weeks. The six weeks after that, she’s going to try to get me into the school right by my house (actually, she had just come from there and had just placed her first student teacher there; sort of funny then that we both drove half an hour from the same location to meet up!). Since she asked, I gave her the names of the top teachers in that school. Having kids at that school, and a wife just across the street at the middle school really helps. My adviser did tell me that it is vital that I start substituting at the high school, if I am to have any chance of being a student teacher there. I’m working on it!
