We finished up training yesterday. I don't actually have a whole lot to tell the World Wide Web about that, so just suffice it to say that it happened, it ended, and we decorated our classrooms. We also met with the rest of the staff yesterday, so now I know who all the secretaries are (by name, even!), and they know who we are. Other than that, there has been a lot of going over lesson plans again and again until I reach the point where I think my brain is going to explode, and then going over them yet again.
I'll be honest here. I'm freaking out. Big time. Everyone else seems to be at least doing a pretty good job of putting on a show of calmness, but me? I can't even sit still right now. I feel like I am more nervous about this whole starting teaching thing than I was about getting on a plane by myself to move to the other side of the world! At least my first class (afternoon kindergarten) I start out with Christina and not just by myself.
By the time most of you read this, I'll have my first day's experience well under my belt. If you do chance to read this before 11:30 MDT, pray for me?
