let the countdown commence.

so...

here i am, about to embark on a new frontier: student teaching. (feel free to say that with an echo in your head. i definitely did.)

now to some, this would seem like the logical step in a progression, all leading to becoming a teacher. would that be an incorrect statement? no...not really. this is the last step before i become a full fledged adult. (and by full fledged i mean i *hopefully* have a job that has all that boring stuff attached to it.)

and don't get me wrong, im super excited. but more so than that i'm nervous. it's a good nervous though, like the jitters that you get before you have to sing or speak in public. i imagine that these jitters would be something like mexican jumping beans(sorry for the lack of p.c.) jumping around in my stomach haphazardly
hopefully they work in my favor, these jitters, because if not...well that would just be really bad.

picture this: me teaching (awesomely i might add) and then a kid raises their hand to ask me a question. those jitters can either work in my favor and i can blow this kid's mind away with my knowledge of shakespeare or whoever (which is unlikely, let's be honest) or i freeze and the kids take control of the classroom.... and i become the carcass that all the lions are fighting over.

can you say suckeeee?

so i guess all i can do at this point is get all my ducks in a row and write my social will (because my social life will be cut in half. if any is left at all. )

so future... let the countdown commence.
(cue that song, the final countdown)
