update

So my first student teaching placement is over...I'm so going to miss it...the kids, the teacher, the aides, the school, everything. Somehow, for not being what I wanted, I fell in love with this class. I got cards from all the kids my last day. They were sooo sweet! Plus a present from the teacher too.
I started up my second placement this week. It was definitely easier going into it already knowing the kids and the school. Its also nice to always see friendly faces from all of the staff and kids. Although the whole Miss Alyssa/Miss Kulik thing still gets them sometimes. The level these kids are at definitely amazes me though! They are like way ahead of the average kindergartener, although some of them are a bit inconsistent at times.

Life seems to be going pretty well outside of school though. I just wish I had any idea when or how to start applying for jobs. I mean I know we have to fill out this general application and send out resumes and all, but I dont know when to apply, or how to go about submitting this PA application or anything...it's a bit frustrating sometimes because I don't like not knowing where I will need to be in two and a half months.

takin it one day at a time

Slowly progressing back to somewhere in the realm of ok...maybe they were right that time heals all wounds, they just weren't right about time flying.
Meanwhile, time is definitely flying at school...I feel like I've only been there about a week but I only have 2 weeks left. I think I'm going to miss these kiddos when I leave...I can't really imagine not seeing them anymore.

Letter 5-your dreams

Its been a while, and this letter thing isn't as fun as i'd hoped, but im determined to finish what I start, so here goes anyway....

Dear dreams,

Why do you always seem so far away? You play with my mind and make me think you're easy or right around the corner, but you are so far from me-both in time and possibility. Sometimes I just wish you weren't with me so that I wouldn't have this false hope, and sometimes I wish I just knew the future so I knew if we'd ever actually end up together, and sometimes I just wish you'd beat it and let me start from scratch without other peoples ideas messing with what I really want. But then sometimes it just seems like how can you be wrong? you are just so right and so perfect for me, so why would I ever want any but you, this is obviously how it's supposed to be....even if it isn't easy getting to some of you. Hurry up and get here please. Who knows but the future though right?

Desperately waiting,

Alyssa

Letter 4....your sibling

Dear sis,

Why is it that whenever we need to do something together, it is always me who has to come to you? I have been to your house more times than I can count, meanwhile you've come here what, once ever? Even things up a little geez.
But anyway, thats hardly what I want this whole letter to be. As much as we fight, I still love ya and need you in my life.

Love, little sis



wow I am so not goo at this letter thing at all huh

Letter 3....your parents

Dear Mommy,

Even though I may not be super affectionate, I love you. I will always love you, just like I know you'll always love me. You didn't deserve that shit, and I have no idea why you are still putting up with any of it.

Love,
your favorite daughter =D

Letter 1....your best friend

Dear best friend,

funny how you can address a letter without knowing who it is to. Well I guess I should figure that out....Okay, got it. Long time no talk buddy....well actually, although that is usually all too true for us, today it's really not. But since it wasn't a very long talk the other day it still kind of applies, at least I think so, because we still have plenty more to catch up on!

Love, me

PS Laura-so right about this letter thing being a pain....but i'm still gonna try to keep doing it, just not every day lol
