The story gets worse for our hero

Saturday Aug 15, 2009

Well,

Woke up this morning with a pretty unpleasant feeling in my sinuses.  Some quick Web-MD-ing and I’m pretty sure I’ve got a sinus infection.

:(

I’ve never been kicked in the face by a horse before, but I’m going to use my imagination here, and tell you that’s about how I feel right now.  In a few minutes I’m leaving for urgentcare to get this thing treated.  Feel free to leave lots of love and such in the comments.

In other news, I finished week two of student teaching.  That’s pretty awesome.  2/10.  I still have to teach for an additional six weeks after the first 10 weeks, but that’s a different story.  I keep meaning to post some thoughts on it all, but I also keep feeling worse.  I’ll just sum it up to say things are going as well as can be expected.  I have a very interesting group of students, an amazing mentor, and I’m learning a lot.  I had my first evaluation last Wednesday, and it went well.  I’ve got a long way to go, but I’ve come a very long way too, so it was a pretty satisfying result.

And if I can get ‘passing marks’ on an eval when I felt as bad as I did, well, it gives me hope to how I’ll do… you know, when I am 100% there.  Expect amazing things.

I am.  Someday…

Deep thoughts on Green Nyquil

Tuesday Aug 11, 2009

It tastes as bad as it looks.   I think it’s kicking in, though, so I shouldn’t stay too long.  I was gonna do a nice post about how the very first week of student teaching went, etc., but I went and got sick.

26 students: 1

immune system: 0


Ok, well, that’s the news.  Time for bed.
