2nd day of school. Man I went to bed at 8:30 last night I was so tired from all of the anxiety and nervousness from the night before. I got plenty of sleep and I felt good when I got up this morning. I made sure I was packed and prepared. I had my water bottles, my meals, my books, my laptop, my brain, my pen, my ears, oh and my chapstick. I don't go anywhere without my chapstick. I LIVE for chapstick...but only for natural ice cherry flavor...can't buy it in stores anymore I have to order it online. (Hey when you find something you like, you do what you have to do to get it, ok ALMOST anything I do have my limits!) I felt much better about going to class today, the first day is always so difficult. I have some great people going through this program with me and I know we are going to be very supportive of each other and very helpful for each other. It is nice to know that there are others just as dedicated to doing well as I am.
It is amazing how much information someone can jamb into 3 hours. Hey I waste 2 1/2 hours and all I do is watch a movie. But when you are in school 3 hours has a whole new meaning. This is no comedy movie. This is actual work. What was I thinking.... We lost one of our classmates today. Her husband got a job in Canada and they are going to be moving in 3 weeks sooooo we are down to 9 of us. It is a great small class environment but there is definitely no hiding in class. The teacher WILL call on you at some point so you better be ready. (Just in case you were wondering). Teachers are so amazing to me. I can't get over how much that they are expected to do in one day. Not only that but how many different hats that teachers wear. It gives me that push to be the best student I can be so that later on I can be the best teacher. I want to soak up all the information that is thrown my way and store it all so that I can use it for the future. There are not many opportunities to go to school the way that I am. It is an internship to hire. We are in the classroom literally from day one and what we study in our classes we get to put into action in the field experience we have in the mornings. Right away we get practice on kids. I don't know if that is entirely a good thing, I am so glad doctors don't necessarily learn that way or we could have a BIG problem and lots of missing limbs. I guess kids are a little more resiliant and so throwing novice teachers in right away is ok; kids will get over it! (There is more to it then that, but it helps you to feel sorry for me right away when I talk about being fed to the kid lions right when I enter the school... I could die you know....feel bad for me!) I love the opportunities to get my feet wet right away. Just like a new duckling...hitting the pond for the first time.
Got home from school all pumped to get started on my mounds of homework when I realize that the internet is not working at my house. REALLY?!?!? REALLY?!?! How is that even possible. I thought internet was just like water.. it never ended and is always there. Who made up this rule that you have to pay for it and that sometimes it doesn't always work, and often there are complications. Honestly I don't care just make it work again. I can't function without my cell phone or my internet. Forget about water, air and food (ok who am I kidding, we all KNOW I can't function without food.) Ok so let me edit that sentence I can't live without my cellphone, internet or FOOD! ok that makes me feel better. I started to sweat and to panic. I almost had to get out a paper bad to slow my breathing down. Think Angela Think. I got on the phone with our internet provider, who knew we had a provider, internet isn't just "there". (I hope you know I'm kidding I don't believe internet is just "there" if you do believe that then I will also tell you, you can plug things into a current bush and they will work! ha ha he he ) I spent an hour on the phone with her (she really did a great job inspite of the circumstances) with no solution. The labored breathing started again. What am I going to do. I loaded up my computer and my stuff and headed to a local coffee shop that had free wifi. Umm ps. they close at 8...what time did I get there 7:45. Not my day right?!??!?
Got a new/used laptop for school. Tried loading my printer software on said new/used laptop. Received blue screen of death and this error "hard drive not found." Umm how do you respond to that?! By the way no matter how many times you hit the find hard drive button if the new/used laptop says its not there it MEANS that it isn't there now. So no internet and a new/used laptop that can't seem to remember where it put its hard drive. Hmmm I am starting to feel like I am in the twilight zone. (dodododododododo dooooooo) What is a girl to do. Eat something? Go to bed? I went with the eat something. That always makes me feel better; eating. Old habits....should have just gone to bed. I was good though and had a medifast pudding boring....but safe! Sleep is calling me, since there is no internet and no one seems to be blowing up my phone to talk to me and I just ate there is nothing more to do this evening....so sleep it is!
Love Angela
