6:00am - woke up and got ready for my field visit (in other words, i put on fancy clothes and a wig).

6:45am - moved the car from the far parking lot to the loading dock.

6:55am - ran outside and “moved” the car to avoid getting a ticket for parking illegally in said loading dock.

7:00am - registered for spring semester classes. because i came in with zero credits (word of advice: take APs in high school! you’ll regret it if you don’t!), i register fairly late, barely before most freshmen. for this reason, i could only get into three classes that i need for my degree. that was 10 credits. you need 12 at least to be a full-time student. i was aiming for 15.

7:15am - got in the car and headed off to my field visit with four other girls from my class.

8:00am - arrived at rochester city school #9 without losing any of the cars that were following mine. a student escorted us to the library to wait for the principal.

9:05am - got talked to by the two assistant principals, after waiting in the library for an hour and fifteen minutes. considering that we’re only there until 10:30am, this was kind of disappointing.

9:10am - we paired off and another student and i went to a second grade classroom to observe. we watched them during their music time (no music room, the teacher comes to them), and we did the cha cha slide! this particular field visit made me feel like i was at work again, because we didn’t do a lot of observing — most of the time was spent giving spelling tests, keeping students quiet and on task, and escorting students about the building. but it was cool to see how an urban school works. and when i say urban, i mean urban. 99-100% minorities, and right across from the projects.

11:30am - arrived back at geneseo. i changed and ate lunch with lauren.

12:30pm - took a calc. III test. ugh. let’s not talk about that.

1:45pm - the weekend began and my insane morning was officially over.

ETA: i found two more classes to take, so i’m up to 14 credits! yay! i’ll post my schedule later.

good:
my teacher is awesome. when he gave us back our lesson plans and evaluations, he clipped everyone’s papers with silver paper clips, except for mine, in which he used a pink paper clip.

bad:
i found out today that for my school observations i can’t have my pink hair showing. stupid squares and their stupid rules. well, i have a blonde wig that i’ll be wearing. i’ll pretend i’m undercover or something.
