The First Week

In a word, Overwhelming. 

Monday and Wednesday I had English from 10 to noon.  He is great!  He's taking things slow which is good for me.  I need slow right now.  He also doesn't usually keep us that long, which is also good. 

Tuesday I had the nightmare Psychology class.  That went from 10 to 2 with one five minute break. He was a nut case.  If you would like to hear a story or two of his tell me, I will share.  It was enough to make me break down and cry in the adviser's office when he suggested I ride it out.  When I told him what the teacher had said, he said "Nope, we will get you out of there now."  Phew!  Thank goodness.  I don't know what next Tuesday holds for me, but I know it's a new teacher and that's better than the old one.  There is no way it will be worse. 

Wednesday I had my observation class that is a co-requisite for my Early Childhood class.  It's a one credit class that they want too much for, but I will do it and complain later, if I remember.  ;) 

Thursday I had the Early Childhood class.  It's supposed to go with the above mentioned class.  They say they go together, but both teachers said different things as far as the observing go.  One said you are only there to observe, the other said you have to get in there and help.  Anyway, it went well and she let us out early.  It's supposed to go from 5:25 to 9:25.  I hope she never keeps us that late.  ;) 

What I don't like about the observation thing is I have to find my own place to go.  Oh brother!  And the hoops they want us to jump through!  And they think we can start all this in a week.  Schools don't even open for two more weeks here.  Whatever.  I'm glad my schedule is open enough that I can get my hours in.  I will have to make some phone calls and start getting things done on Monday. 

So, for homework, so far is all reading.  It looks like quite a bit, so I will just have to chip away at it.  :)  I emailed the new psychology teacher, but he has yet to email me back.  If he's older, he might not do email. 

Tomorrow, Zachary and I are off clothes shopping.  I'm dreading it.  The boy is tall and skinny.  Last year he fit in a 10 slim in the Lee brand.  Now they are just a bit snug, but still long enough.  I don't think regular 10's will fit him. We tried a pair on him today in another brand and even with the adjustable waist, they were way too big!  He just needs a few shirts and some jeans.  And if we happen across any, some shorts!  He wouldn't pick any out in the spring and now well, it's all fall stuff out.  As far as school supplies go, he just needs some pink erasers.  :)

Hard to believe summer is coming to a close.  We have kept ourselves busy and Zachary has had a lot of fun.  We just didn't get to the Science place we wanted to take him to.  We just never seemed to have enough money for it.  We will try though.  It will cost more in gas than anything to go there. 

That's about all for now.  Thanks for stopping in!  :)

Oh dear me...

Psychology did not go well today.

I hope to switch it, but I don't know if I can. 

I don't think I will pass with a high enough grade if I can't. 

Not to mention he wants us to do two presentations in front of the classroom.  I don't think I can do that. 

Julie <----> Not a public speaker in any way shape or form. 

And honestly, that's not the worst part of it all. 

But I'm tired and it's been a day, so I will leave it at that.  Going to go in after English tomorrow and see what I can do.
