Well, A couple hours into day number two of this whole substitute teacher thing and I gotta tell ya, I was mildly shocked. In a good way. I didn't self-destruct, nobody caught fire, and I didn't end the day yesterday huddled in a corner sobbing quietly. All in all, I'd say that's a good sign.
In fact, I was almost giddy over how well it went/is going. Just ask Sara...she may have found me a bit annoying. And of course, knocking on wood. I can see how it could get tiresome and frustrating at times if I were to have to do it on a daily basis. There are some students that are definately a challenge to keep, how shall I say, on task. Or even in their seats. But I think this sub thing is just fine for me at the moment, honestly. I shouldn't be in any one place long enough to get too burnt out and jaded. I think. I hope. Right? :-/
