YAY!

I meant to post this last week, not like anyone really cares, but I passed both of my PRAXIS tests! YAY!! I was really REALLY surprised. I thought that I had a chance of passing my PLT, but I was sure that I failed the history one. It is such a relief that I don't have to pay for, prepare for, and take either of them again! I still am teaching, I have to do a few observations, create my resume and portfolio, complete my action research project, and be nervous about applying for jobs, so having the weight off my chest about those tests is really nice.

I have three weeks left of student teaching. Wow. I can't believe that I have already been doing this for 6 weeks. It's insane. I am so excited to be done. Having my own classroom will be very different than taking over someone else's classroom and I look forward to that new experience. I think that so far student teaching has been a fairly positive (though at the same time tortuous, inauthentic and exhausting) process,but I am truly grateful that it's coming to an end.
