Wow, it has been a long time since I have written.  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’t have to write any more, and so I haven’t.  I haven’t written a blog in three weeks I think.  This does not mean that I haven’t written though.  I’ve been busy.  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.  Truth is, any one of the three university classes would have been enough to keep me more than busy.  Three has been insane.  I’ve been doing homework every waking moment for the last three weeks, sometimes even during class.  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 — except that I’m still creating it.  Next week will likely be J.I.T. — Just In Time).  In addition to all that, I must finish the experimental work for my last TPA and I haven’t even read the requirements because I’ve been too busy!  I have to read that TPA before I get to school on Monday.  With all the work I have, I was hoping not to go to church tomorrow, except that I’m teaching a class and I’m an emergency replacement in the band, which means that I must also practice sometime before tomorrow.  Today, I skipped an all-important teacher job fair that I had worked very hard to even qualify for… and then was too busy to go to.  I could have gotten a job today (in theory, though not likely)!  Gaa!  At least the madness ends on Wednesday (the end of classes at the University).  After that, I can breathe a little and, starting next week, concentrate on my one Tuesday night class, my portfolio, and my three remaining TPA assignments.
