The end of the quarter is unbelievably overwhelming.

My Teacher Work Sample is nowhere near completed.

I don't know when I will have time to complete it.

It needs to be done by the 19th (Tuesday).

When do I teach?

Overwhelmed.

Grades are due by 5 PM on Monday.

Lots of students are slackers.

It is my fault because they turned it in and I lost it.

The other teachers lost all of their completed work, too.

Why can't I just teach?

Next Friday/Saturday is the Teacher Interview Fair in my district.

That means resumes and credentials need to be done.

I have a semi-completed, crap resume and no letters of rec yet.

I would really like to teach now....

Verbal recommendations? Check. Written?

....Do teachers and principals really have time for that?

Principal introduced me (and gave great praise to) the Asst. Superintendent.

Confidence boost.

Reminded twice (from Principal): make sure to send the Sup an email when you apply.

Check...and check.

Overwhelmed.

Do I get to teach now?

No. You must test, test, test.

But...but...why?

Because Big Brother told you so.

My big brother also told me when I was 6 that alligators lived in the sewers and would come up out of the toile.....oh

Not that big brother.

Too much time spent with 7th graders.

Sincerely,

Does this mean I've made it?
