Fun thing that you'll be hearing a lot about in the next couple of months: for the next semester I'm interning with the guidance counselor at Floyd Elementary School.
So far I've been there for 4 days. Four whole days, and let me tell you - I love it. What does a guidance counselor in training do? Well funny you asked because I'm kind of an almost expert on that topic. I spent last week meeting all of the schools 30+ new students, taking their picture, and then making a poster with all their pictures, so basically I spent the week doing arts and crafts. But that's cool. I like arts and crafts. Starting next week I'll get to meet the kids that I'll be mentoring this semester, our lunch bunch groups will be starting, and I'll finally get to see what it looks like to teach a guidance class.
There's a lot to look forward to this semester, and a lot of exciting things have already happened. I left the first day of school with an official badge, a parking spot (that someone else has been parking in, but whatever I still have one), got to eat in the teacher lounge and have my own desk. Life is good. Life is exciting.
So far, so good. After these four days I'm more than ever in love with being in a school.
Sorry, I know this is incredibly bland. More details of the good, the bad, and the funny will surface as they occur. Lord knows this is going to be one heck of a journey.
