ThE nExT wEeK...

WoW! A full week has passed and lots of work has been accomplished. Despite the fact that i wrecked my car yesterday (yes yall, i ran into a pole...) everything has gone pretty well. Last week I spent three (or four) days over at Holly Springs High School helping out in the office. Everything is finally starting to settle down over there and the students seem to really be enjoying classes. I have contributed to starting the registration process for the July session, making signs, phone calls, and watching DeTeNtIoN!!! And from that I have determined that there is a reason I never got detention, it is not for me.

The first years started to teach on Thursday so everyone was out of the office observing them and I was left in charge. It all started when Mr. Z, the regular detention teacher sent a note to the office for someone to watch the students while he went to pick up his lunch and well since I was the only one in the office I got to watch 'em it shouldn't be a problem....right??? WRONG well I went in and sat down at the desk and as soon as Mr. Z left the room, the kids started giggling and laughing! So I said "Hey Stop!" Then one kid replied "are you a teacher?" and I said "No" (my first mistake!), He then turned around and started laughing some more and to make it even more interesting he started taking these tiny bites of his apple (from his lunch)... it ended up taking him 20 minutes to eat it because he didnt want to do his detention work...wow! I need a "mean face" or something that looks intimidating because whatever i have right now is just not working!

I really want to go sit in on a couple of classes that the first years are teaching (which I will probably get to do this week) because i find it so exciting to see someone you know teaching students with various different methods! I was also talking to Grace last week who told me that her Ed Law class is really interesting and some of the cases are kinda crazy so I think that i might need to check that out as well :)

Oh! I got to watch the online videos that Ben has been recording and posting to youtube (and um I seem kinda corny),  and they have actually turned out to be really nice. All of the first years are listed as well as the "thank you" video to Morgan Freeman's foundation who gave MTC laptops!

I have still not been out of Oxford but am really looking forward to going somewhere, I think that I just might take a trip to Jackson this weekend with my RoOmIe!....maybe ;) (she does not know yet) It is really time for me to see another part of Mississippi!
