Goodbye Weekdays Hello Weekend

So today was better than I expected but as good as I hoped. My group didn't get to go today, which is okay because one of our members decided not to show up. Math really helped me review for my test on Monday. Anthropology was as boring as ever until the end when he showed an interesting clip from a NOVA special. History as always was awesome! I really think that being a History teacher is in my future. Which brings me to something I barely touched on yesterday, teaching. After spending all day with Autistic children in a classroom, I really loved it. It made me long for the days when I was in high school and teaching that pre-school class. I don't care if they say kids are not paying as much attention or whatever excuse teachers used to become disgruntled and impatient, I loved their reactions and excitement. Some of the teachers were so grumpy and irritated at the slightest thing. I wanted to go up to them and be like, why are you still teaching when it's obvious you no longer love your job? Teaching is one of those things I think that you have to love your job to be good at. A student can tell if you hate your job and are only there for a paycheck, so why not at least learn to love it?

So that brings me to my main point: Do I major in History/Literature or do I major in education? I still think that majoring in a core subject leaves more room for improvement, especially with someone like me who wishes to get at LEAST a Masters. It would also leave me room to be a professor for college if I didn't want to teach middle or high school. I don't know and I'm grateful that as of right now I still have enough core classes to take that I don't have to decide this minute. I do like having a plan and a goal in mind though, so you know I'll make a decision before the end of this semester.

The good things about myself is that even though I pretend to be a procrastinator, I'm really not (well for most things.) I hardly have any homework this weekend because I did it all on Wednesday *insert cheer here*. I do need to study as I have two exams next week and another one the Monday following. All I can think about right now is how I have to work in 5 hours and my stomach is growling.

So there you have it, the thoughts of me for today before work. After work I probably will be so exhausted that my thoughts will consist of my feet hurt, I'm hungry and passing out.

Hope everyone has a great weekend,

Aprill
