Frazzled Nerves

Posted on September 28, 2004February 24, 2017by sarah

So……. My teaching observation is almost here. Seems like just yesterday, that I found out the date and started stressing. And, now, it’s here. And I’m still stressing. I’ve barely eaten since Sunday night, and I anticipate my lack of hunger will only grow. The lack, that is. Not the hunger. Then, I think I’ll […]

Parent Conferences, Etc.

Posted on September 20, 2004February 24, 2017by sarah

Another Picture-less update…. We have parent conferences today. Fun times, fun times. I hope I don’t have any angry parents. I can always fall back on the “I’m a new teacher” line of reasoning. If that fails, I’ll just hide, I guess. 🙂 In related news… I somehow managed to get “Staff Member of the […]

Just Another Manic Monday

Posted on September 13, 2004February 24, 2017by sarah

Just checking in… Not much to report here. School is as usual. The kids come. They sit. They bore. They talk. They leave. I start the process over again. It’s magical. Lucy is starting to settle in. At least we think that’s what’s happening. She’s a lot more (very a lot more) playful. The house […]

Go Bush Go!

Posted on September 4, 2004February 24, 2017by sarah

Another week down. That’s 4, total. We had a pep rally Friday afternoon. It was a pretty good one. Last week, it seemed disorganized and the students weren’t really involved. This week, they hyped it up all week, and the place was filled with Falcon Spirit. The football team played Starmount last night (hence, all […]

Falcons vs. Elks

Posted on August 28, 2004February 24, 2017by sarah

Yesterday, we had the school’s first pep rally of the ’04-’05 school year. It seemed a little disorganized, but maybe it’s just that I’m a teacher and the last one I attended was my senior year of high school. Then, Derek and I went out to the Forbush Falcons/Elkin Bucking Elks football game. It was […]

S. Lidbom

Posted on August 24, 2004February 24, 2017by sarah

I got my name tag yesterday. Now I’m “official”. Or, actually, now I just won’t get confused students looking for someone in the trailer next door. Things are alright. I actually got TWO WHOLE DAYS ahead in my lesson plans, giving me a lot of peace of mind, tonight. What am I going to do […]

Zzzzzzzz Zzzzz zzz

Posted on August 21, 2004February 24, 2017by sarah

I’m tired. Teaching in a regular classroom is exhausting. It seems like the next ten months of my life looks something like this: 1. Awaken. 2. Desperately long for another hour of sleep. 3. Shower, eat and go, all in a half-asleep stupor. 4. Make the 20 minute trek to work, coming to grips with […]

Trailer Park

Posted on August 3, 2004February 24, 2017by sarah

This picture/journal entry serves two purposes: 1. To update my faithful following (hi mom!) that I have started school at Forbush High School in lovely Yadkin County. Teacher reported back yesterday and the students will come in full force next Monday. I have three more workdays and lots of non-work time to get prepared. And… […]

News Briefings

Posted on July 24, 2004February 24, 2017by sarah

Where to begin?? I’ve added some stuff to the site, recently. The tales of the summer and Jake: July 4th in Batavia and the Ensuing Visit From Jake… School “starts” next week. I just received notice that I am to report to the New Teacher Orientation next week (one week early). So, my vacation has […]

One More Class!!

Posted on June 22, 2004February 24, 2017by sarah

Tomorrow night is my last Ed Psych class. It’s a summer session and it’s been pretty intense. Especially since I haven’t been a college student in a long time. (I’m the adult learner now! I wonder if the “kids” hate me?)…. Anyhow, I just finished my final project tonight (above), and it’s quite a load […]
