Daring to Be » Uneventful weekend.

Yes, I’m sitting at home on a Saturday night. It looks like I’ll be heading to Carrot River for Thanksgiving next weekend, and considering I start half time teaching the following week I figured it was in my best interest to have a low key weekend of planning.

I have a few little things to update about.

• The two other interns and I introduced eachother and led the entire school (300+ students and staff) in a couple of songs at a school assembly, talk about scary but it went well.
• Staff wellness day was Thursday, which meant a free book from McNally Robinson. I chose Peter Pan and Wendy, because though I love every film adaptation of Peter Pan I’ve ever seen, I’ve never actually read the book.
• The vice principal and middle years teachers invited us interns to the grade 8 camping trip next week. It’ll definitely be an interesting experience and you can bet I’ll be bundling up in sweat pants and sweaters, especially if the weather is anything like it is tonight (only 5 degrees Celsius, 41 degrees for you Fahrenheiters.)

As much as I love teaching, I really am starting to realize I need to do a better job of making time for myself. I feel like I don’t talk about anything but internship. Which, granted, I come home everyday with a fresh batch of entertaining stories but all the same I have to make more effort to remember I am not just Miss. Gentner the interning teacher but also Breanne, the 24 year old trying to figure life and love out.
