Back to School, People Watching, and Memory Lane Topic!

Tomorrow is Meet the Teacher night at the school I will be doing my student teaching at! I'm getting kinda nervous! I'm going to get to the school around 8:00 in the morning to help my mentor out in her room and then just stay until it is time for Meet the Teacher. 


I have been in College Station since Monday. This week I have been busy cleaning my apartment, putting away all of my new clothes, and taking stuff to the tailors to get hemmed! I know once school starts next week I will not have time to do any of this! 

Today I'm going to put together my student teaching notebook. My notebook should contain the following components: Calender of Events, Lesson Plans, Reflective Journal, Cooperating Teacher/Supervisor Evaluations, Seminars/Meetings, General Information, Instructional and Management Techniques, and my Student Teaching Handbook.

Yesterday I went to the salon to get my nails and toes done! I needed a pedi/mani desperately BAD! One of my favorite things to do is to people watch. I literally could spend hours in the mall/store just watching people. There was this lady (prob in her mid 30's) at the salon yesterday who seemed like a total snob from just watching her. She pranced into the salon carrying her big expensive purse and gave me this half smile as she sat down in the chair across from me. While waiting on the nail tech she begins reading a magazine while smacking her bubble gum extra loud. Finally, when when nail tech comes she tells him exactly how to do her toes (he was probably thinking...oh crap why did I have to get her). Every few minutes she would look up and make sure he was doing it right.  Also, when someone walked by she would look them up and down with the snobbiest face!!! It was soo funny! Do you ever people watch?

I'm obsessed with cocktail rings right now!

Tomorrow is Memory Lane Friday!


The theme for this week is.....

Your First Job

I know many of y'all do not have pictures of yourself at your first job so you can just tell us about it! But if you do have a picture to post then post it and write a little about what you did! For instance, where did you work? How old were you? How long did you work there? Anything funny happen to you at your first job? 

Theme ideas for next week?

Come back tomorrow morning to link up!!!

I love to people watch too! Sounds like the gal at the salon was hoot to watch. It is funny when people act like that because they look so silly.
