This was my first week back in Arizona, and my first week student teaching. I am teaching 7th/8th grade language arts at Grace Community Christian School. The students are reading Johnny Tremain and The Bronze Bow. Next week I start teaching instead of only observing.
So far student teaching is pretty boring. I was so bored I asked my teacher to give me work, but then I had to organize things. I hate organizing things, so I think I will at least pretend to busy next week.
I am also working on things for after graduation. I have to send out applications, and am applying for something called "Teach for America." It is an organization modeled after the peace corps that sends out recently graduated college students as teachers to the lowest achieving schools in the nation. I have my final interveiw february 13, and after that I will know whether that will happen and have a better idea of what to pursue next.
I am also getting ready for a couple of weddings I am in that are going to be in March and July. In one wedding I will be wearing the getup of dream barbie and in the other a lovely green number with sleeves. Oh the fashion travesties committed in the name of love!

Oh, Leigh, you are such a treasure! Didn't your mommy ever tell you real life is often hard and/or boring? Just keep the goal in sight....graduation in May!!!
You're very strange. I don't really think that I'll ever teach seventh and eighth graders.
Enjoy those nice green sleeves!
