geez. you can always count on me to be mouthy and rude at just the wrong moment.
Exciting happenings:
-I found out that my teacher won't be there on Friday, and there will be a sub. Since i don't want to deal with a sub, and I can sacrifice the hours (having gone in yesterday, not a normal day I go in), I don't have to go to practicum on Friday!!
+
-I got a job for saturday night (yay!), but that leaves all of saturday open!!
= two mornings and days I can do homework, and not worry about anything!!! This is so lucky for me, and i'm so exciiiiiited. I can't believe it- it's like i've hit the lottery.
also- my practicum teacher asked if i wanted to do some stuff with the kids with their next reading book, and i said sure, so we are going to do a wrinkle in time! I've never read it before, and this will give me the opportunity to do that- i'm really excited, these kids are really cool.
umm.. and i'm teaching a science lesson tomorrow, and i'm not even that worried about it! this is okay in my book!

it really hits you like a ton of bricks when you realize you're mediocre at everything. Please don't take this as a pity post, it's really not. just making an observation.
in other news, this was really cool today:
I was practicing bass. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I can take the bass into a classroom, with a piano, and a music stand, and stack three chairs up (to somewhat resemble the height of a stool), and play bass like a normal person. The classrooms down in that area have light sensors, and in the corner of the room where I sit myself down, it can't see me. So every ten or fifteen minutes, the lights just go off, and i have to get up and wave my arm around like an idiot.
So i did that today, and i sat back down, and settle the bass back into my lap again. And i realized that it felt really comfortable, like it was supposed to be there. All of a sudden it seemed natural and almost a part of me.
Weird, i know, but it was a really awesome feeling.

everything takes a whole new light, and nothing else means anything.
