Daring to Be » A week away.

Next Monday is day one of my internship. Everyone I know doing their internship this fall is getting nervous and excited about starting, but I really feel like the nervousness and excitement that should accompany something as huge as this has yet to hit me. Maybe it is because while many people had to plan units over the summer, my cooperating teacher told me not to bother because while I start on the 27th, the kindergarten students don’t start until September 4th and then only every second day for a week.

I’d like to say I’m not nervous or excited because I’m just that confident in my abilities as a teacher, but that would be a lie. I’m sure come Sunday evening/Monday morning I’ll be shaking like a leaf.

I really can’t believe it’s only a week away. This week will fly by, what with getting myself organized, going shopping for more teacher clothes, attending Internship Orientation, and enjoying the last few days of freedom before school begins. And then, before I know it, it will be December and I’ll be finished.

Sometimes I wish life had a “pause” or “slow” button.
