P.s. I student teach at Bellview Elementary - 5th grade! (3 min from my house)

My mentor teacher seems awesome.

Two of my friends from school will be there with me - I am very happy.

It's 1:54 a.m.

and I'm done with my unit plan!

Laura did my math - yippee!

Two more papers tomorrow and I'm DONE!

I'm officially crying.

It's 1:13 a.m.

....and I seriously think I'm losing my mind.
I have nothing left (brain cells, thoughts, or ideas that is)........ and I still have 2 large assignments due on thursday + 3 other lame papers, my resume, classroom management, and philosophy paper.

Did I mention I have nothing left?
I've done more schoolwork this semester than all my years of homework combined.
I'm officially crying.

To Emily...

Thank You!.....I love it. Merry Christmas.
