Little did they know

Mood: hungry

A girl in my class coughed over 400 times today. It was my friend's turn to count but little did he know, i was counting as well. I heard every little noise that came out of her mouth. Incredibly frustrating.

Physical Science 5 is probably the funnest class i will ever take in college. It's a class that mostly allows its students to complete field work in the subject area of education. I have been assigned to a 3rd grade class and will be that teacher's overenthusiastic shadow for the next few weeks. Little does she know i am MORE than a little excited about this mini/semi internship. The class itself is like a retrograde back into the wonderful world of stress-free elementary school. The teachers without fail bring snacks to every class and the entire time is dedicated to us acting like elementary school students while the teachers "teach" us. We spent the previous two classes coloring, creating cutting out fish and rediscovering different types of quadrilaterals (square, rhombus, trapezoid, rectangle....). FUN AND GAMES AND FOOD! just the way liked it back in the good old days. And of course we're learning too. We're learning how to teach! duh!

(: fun and games.

Fun, games and food; ahhh the deepest desires of any college student (: Are you with the same group of kids for the rest of the quarter? Can you get a letter of rec out of it (or try to! Hehe)? Do you have a favorite (gasp) kid yet?

I'm glad you're enjoying this class; keep me updated with how it goes!

And that poor girl with the cough...well..at least she's working her way to some rock solid abs?

We haven't talked in ages! I miss you tons. ): Do take care until Thanksgiving which is when I'll probably next see you!
