Less than a week

I am in the process of decorating my room and its a pain. They never teach you how to decorate the room so what i am doing is guess work. I think the room looks nice, but a week later it might look completely different . as the time approaches i am thinking that i am scared out of my mind. Teaching all the students every subject. Where to start??

Now i have to plan the lesson. i have an idea of what i want to do, but doing it is another whole set of problems. I must say this has to be one step at a time.

I bet that i have spent at least 40 plus hours and not getting paid anything. uhhhhh

ill keep you posted when i know more. and when i have more free time.

T-minus 30 days

Today I went into the school for the first time since my interview and i realized that i am scared as a cat in water. I saw my classroom and realized i have really no idea what i am doing. All the classes that i have taken and field work are no cure for what is about to come. First off i realized that the classroom is bare and I, have to decorate the room. Teaching school has prepared me to teach, but not to set up a classroom. If i had my way i would paint the whole room purple and...well that is all i can come up with. Not trying to sound sexiest, but i have no idea how to make it cute. I look at the other classrooms and they look nice, cute, warm, and so on. Wait till you see mine. It's going to be......my thoughts exactly.
On a denser side, i saw the curriculum that i am going to teach. WOW! i feel like i am the one going back to school. All the information that i have to learn. Heck i forgot how to divide. I realize now that the task as hand is going to be challenging but fun. And by fun i mean me hanging out at the bar everyday after school.
Oh yeah i have to spend how much money on supplies. I feel like i am going to back to school shopping for 28 kids. At least i only have them for 7 hours.
