This vacation has been fantastic! I needed this very much, and I am very thankful that I was able to spend Thanksgiving in Texas with my family! It was wonderful, but completely strange not doing any homework while I was there. It was difficult because I knew I was supposed to be doing something because I have so much to do, but I wanted to cherish my time with my family and my friends. I had a wonderful time, but I still haven't mastered the whole opportunity cost mentality. It's hard to decipher between two great options.
I am preparing my new lessons for this week (which I am very excited about). We're going to work on more scene building/improvisation exercises because I think they are ready to jump into some performing skills.
I have been talking to Mrs. Zion, and I have decided I want to continue teaching my classes until the Spring. I understand I have to work on the addendum by Christmas break, but I still have to talk to my mentor about this decision. I would like to add a little more onto my lessons and if I would extend the lessons, I would definitely end the year with a short skit that they could prepare. I have to start looking now, but I am very excited about the task ahead of me. I love teaching Drama, and that's what I would want to stick with for my Senior Project!
I think you probably feel quite relieved to make this decision!
ReplyDeleteRegarding Thanksgiving, you will not regret spending time with your family; you can always spend more time studying, working, writing.... but you can't replace time with family.
Happy thanksgiving!
