So, I'm a student teacher now.

I really wasn't sure what it was gonna be all about. I was a little nervous and stuff, b/c I didn't know anyone, no teachers, no students, but so far it's cool.

Turns out the students as a whole LOVE having me, the student teacher, there. I get 7th, 8th and 9th graders, teaching them English.

My cooperating teacher is such a smartass, too, it's fun. He's not mean or anything, but he jokes around with the students all the time. Just the other day in the computer lab he made these lame motivational speeches about courage:

"Courage...is when people are doing something...that is not right...and you don't-you tell them...that they are wrong..." and he was totally being that lame on purpose.
