- I keep making simple mistakes while completing a job application process and I feel that it makes me look like a sloppy and hasty candidate. All mistakes are unintentional, but I still feel embarrassed.
- I had to look up my loan information while filling out a funding application for the job mentioned above (which has to do with #1)... It's not pretty, folks. I'm looking at about $60,000 worth of debt!
- A death in my education cohort has really made me think about how much time I've spent in class and not getting a chance to really do something or make an impact in the classroom. We're so close and I'm disappointed that someone will not get that opportunity.

- I am really getting along with my lead teacher; we had a serious chat one morning last week and we have both changed for the better. I'm sure she is feeling great, too!
- It's my last week of "full control" in my first placement, which is sad, but exciting! I cannot wait to completely finish and start my career! I love teaching and I know it is what I'm meant to do.
- The weather has been beautiful since Friday and it's supposed to stay that way all week!
- I'm looking forward to events I've planned for the weekend (I wish there were little smiley faces for me to post here, but blogger doesn't have that option, I guess!).
- I recently did something for myself (outside of the classroom) that I'm hoping will have a positive impact on my future!
I ended on a positive note because I truly am feeling positive. Yeah, it's scary to think that when I get hired, it will take two years of an average teacher's salary to pay back my loans, but I'm okay with saving and living simple for a little while! My education was worth it.
I've really started to think about how much I'll miss my current students and I'm happy that I've had this experience; ups and downs.
