all alone...

So today was my first day that I was all alone...all that means is that today the teacher had to go take her dad to the doctor so there was a sub..But she basically told the sub that "her student teacher would take care of everything...just help her if she needs anything" So I sent her to do my ironing, and fetch me a cup of water...nah, jk jk :) She was super nice and actually thinking about studying to be a teacher...which is kind of wierd, that she was my superior yet I was farther ahead of her in terms of teaching? I wish I could say that everything was a cup of roses...but it wasn't. I don't know what got into them today, they were so loud and SUPER energetic! When I was teaching, it was fine. It was when I set them loose to do their work. They would not sit and do it! They were running around, throwing stuff, and hitting each other! (Not to worry, turns out all classes were like that today! I dunno what it was...maybe because it was a Monday?) I began reading to them and wow, did they settle down! They were quiet and listening! If only I could keep them like that at all times. If only for the times that my Professor comes in to observe me teach...that's happening this week too... SUPER nervous...

Overall I think the day did go pretty well. We were able to accomplish everything and I even read to them for a bit. One thing for sure is that today my feet hurt much more than usual and I am exHAUSTed...Usually I have my music loud and singing/screaming on the way home...today I had to keep my eyes open with my fingers...and I could barely hold my head up in class...I have to see if I can find anything for them to do tomorrow for my Math lesson when my Professor comes and watches us...
