Journal for 12/3/09 Relief?

It's kind of weird....I thought I would feel relieved, but I don't. I wasn't really nervous once I got in there tonight....so maybe that's why I don't feel relieved. I'm not quite sure what to think of it all. It's weird.

I do appreciate you and the whole "panel"! The feedback was very helpful and hopefully I will be able to grow in those areas before a real interview!

I was discouraged that I could not properly answer the mastery question. But, that just showed me an area of growth. I equate some of that imcompetency to the fact that it is not my own classrooom, and I don't feel like everything I did was really up to par or how it would be officially done in my class. But, again...just an opportunity to grow. I'm still learning...

One more full day of teaching my own plans! I can't believe how fast it is gone. I'm still in a daze!
I hope you got home at a decent time tonight!

Your internship is done...correct?

  1. Olivia,

    I'm sure it'll all take time to process! You have put so much time and effort into this semester so it is going to take awhile to unwind from it all. I'm proud of you and all you have done to continue to learn and grow.

    I know I'm still facing mixed emotions, too. As you will find in the next weeks finishing up student teaching...we get attached to our students and then they move on. I'm going to miss your daily blogs and our many conversations throughout the semester. Please do continue to use me as a resource as you learn and grow. You have grown tremendously over this semester and this will only continue to happen as you enter into your own classroom. Always have that open spirit to listen and learn as both you and your students will benefit from this. I can say I'm a lifelong learner and I know that you will be too:).

    I'll be praying your last full day goes well!
    Prof. Forshey

    PS I'm heading home now...it's 10:15pm!! Yes, my internship is done so next week I can finally get caught up:).
