The Rest of Friday.

It is now the end of the day and the end of the week. I am pretty tired.

The rest of the day went pretty well. 6th period worked hard and got some stuff done. 8th period, which is all 7th graders, got a little squirrelly. About 2/3s of the way through the class, I decided that we needed some fresh air and we went outside for about 5 minutes or so. Fear not, I continued the learning process out of doors. Once outside, I huddled everyone up for some quick questions and answers regarding future technology. It was a long day, but it went well.

I asked Mrs. Murphy, the substitute that spent the entire day in the classroom watching me work, how she thought things went. She said that it went very well, in her eyes. She also indicated that I acted like a teacher and that you would not be able to tell that I haven't been doing this for years. I was pretty happy about that. She says that she has seen alot of student teachers that are shellshocked and have no real idea what they are doing in a classroom. Glad I am not one of those.

I am listening to some music at the moment, the Eric Clapton song "Wonderful Tonight." This lyric just played:

"It's time to go home now and
I've got an aching head...."

I think that about says it all for me. I am going home and trying to catch a nap.
