End of the Quarter
Jun. 3rd, 2005 07:07 pmWell... I student teach in the fall, but I'm done with actual classes at Eastern. I have to finish a final paper and deliver it to Cheaney by Wednesday, but no more class. I'm done.
It feels strange.
I'm walking in commencement a week from tomorrow.
Wow.
My class ring came in the mail. It's beautiful.
It's just... overwhelming.
They wern't doing exit interviews for the english/ed department because there were too many english students. They only did exit interviews with "students they had concerns about." And guess who got one? Me.
They said at the end of the interview that they were signing me off and that they would reccomend me for student teaching, but it was rough somehow. It was like, every single time I left class early or phoned in an assignment or missed one of the items on the list of things the teacher wanted me to include in a project was waved in my face.
They were nice enough. They made it very clear that they both felt completely comfortable with my skills and knowledge level. But they made it clear that they wern't sure about my "Commitment level."
It seems a bit self-important. So, I wasn't all that commited to your education class so that means I must not be committed to real-life teaching. WTF? But, on the other hand, if they don't see me as a diciplined and responcible and organized person, I guess it's not unreasonable, and I admit it. It's college. I slacked. But hey, I had a B average. Leave me alone.
And like I said, it came off okay. They did reccomend me in the end, but it still stung for some reason.
Anyway, end of school goodness. Even though I don't technically graduate, until the end of fall quarter, I am walking at the end of this quarter since all I have is student teaching. And I won't be taking another class at eastern again.
It still seems too much to quite get my head around right now.
I don't know if I'm happy or sad.
Anyway, the graduation checks are coming in and I get presents. Woot.
I treated myself to the Descendants of Darkness manga, volume 1. It's beautifully drawn and expands very well on the anime series that captured my heart.
Also, mom baught me the most GORGEOUS plant ever. It's a black calla lily. I've never seen such a beautiful plant. I'm going to get a special pot for it. And it's a bulb, so it will keep coming back and dividing every year if I'm good to it.
I have such a green thumb this spring. My plants are taking off.
Garden photoes and cala lily pictures to follow.
I'm going to the Rocky Horror Picture Show tonight at the garland.
I haven't done that in years.
Let's do the time warp again.
