looking forward to the weekend!

I knew this semester would be hard, but I had no idea how tired I would be. I told Seth last night that I feel like all I do is run from one thing to the next. My days have started to look something like this...work, class, field placement, class, work, tennis, sleep. Nights when there aren't matches there always seems to be something else. Coaches meetings, faculty meetings, concession stand duties, or something else. I only come home at night to sleep. Poor Seth! Our fridge is empty and I am never home.

I'm not sure how much I will be able to update our blog over the next couple of months, especially because one of my teacher education requirements is to make 28 blog postings before December 14 on the issues of:

Studying Effective Teachers
Learning to Identify Allies
Practicing Democratic Principles
Developing Ways to Recharge my Battery
Taking My Education Seriously
Getting Political

So if you are bored and looking for a little heavier reading, check out the link to Sarah's TtT Blog, The Journey to Teaching. (TtT is the fancy shorthand for Transition to Teaching!)

I am looking forward to a weekend off from tennis. We have no matches until next Tuesday. I have some reading and studying to do this weekend, but that is all that is on my agenda. Oh besides celebrating Sheila's birthday this Saturday night! I hope all is well. If you have some energy to spare, send it my way!
