I got through my first day of school!

...and finished all my homework. I can't believe it took me so long to do all the reading. And I didn't understand a word of my Bio reading. seriously, so scared now. :\

but anyway, I only cried twice. (during class. I managed to hide it, I think)

also, I learned that this semester I need to do 30 hours of class observation at a local K-12 school. I need 'professional' clothes. I think I have one outfit that fits that description, two if you count the dress I use for funerals. (I'm not actually counting that.)

I don't know what else to say. I'm totally wiped out. So many people. And walking around the campus. And so many people!

Wow, you finished your homework very quickly! You rocked the homework. Usually it's about an hour for each credit hour, though some say 3:1 hours:credit hours per week.

If I were in your shoes for the biology, I would make a vocabulary list of all the new words in the reading with definitions of each word--because that's how I learn things, and that might or might not work for you. Some folks are more visual. If it's just words and their definitions, it's not intimidating big science.

You're doing classroom observation in the first semester of school! That seems a little unreasonable--is that set in stone? I mean, the part about it being this semester, not the requirement to observe. Who is setting up the observation for you?

thank you!

it's required to do the 30 hours while you take intro to teaching. later I have to do actual teaching, I think, but this is just classroom observation. I have to work it out with the principal of the school I want to observe in.
