We were able to introduce our team to the teachers and staff today, so that was exciting! I was also able to help a seventh grade English teacher's classroom. She was awesome! I can't wait until we get paired up with our teachers! It's kinda crazy though, apparently some teachers have already been talking about people they want. We'll basically cycle through all the different classrooms and the get paired up. So between now and then, we have to really have our A game on. We need to be winning over teachers and making sure City Year is seen in a good light! No pressure or anything. lol
Lately I guess for me it's been a lot of waiting. Waiting to meet kids. Waiting to get to know teachers better. Waiting to get settled in. Waiting for school to start. <-- Woah, that's definitely not a sentence I ever imagined myself saying. But I'm so ready to start to begin this journey. And I'm starting to get really pumped for this upcoming school year! I've loved seeing and hearing about everyone's first days and weeks of school, and it'll be cool that that will be me next week :)
Also, can I add that it is 10:40 PM, a time that I now consider staying up late. haha Even my middle school self would have thought anything before 11 was turning in early, what's happening to be? haha
Shine on.
Sams,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed getting caught up. FYI - Gran was equally horrified at the music videos while driving and commented, "That is worse than texting". Believe it or not....I found myself actually justifying the very actions that I was previously horrified at. I said, well you know that was the long stretch of hwy where nothing is on the road. Gran then said, they could have hit a deer. Hmmmm, maybe sharing the videos with Gran was not such a good idea. Hey, maybe tomorrow I'll entertain myself with Gran's reaction to M. Cryrus at the MTV awards. That would really be a hoot! Okay, clearly my constant lack of sleep is affecting me.....great talking to you this evening. Hope you have a super terrific day tomorrow.
Love, Mom
