... and I have a terrible immune system. Got my first case of the "I'm a teacher and around kids all day" sickness - I've been out of commission the last two days. Blergh. I felt terrible missing school, but my mentor teacher insisted that I stay home. I just know that when I'm an actual teacher, it won't be that easy so I don't want to be spoiled now. But I guess it's better than getting my teacher and all the students sick. I thought this only happened to elementary school teachers, but I guess high school students don't always wash their hands either. And besides that fact, I'm stuck in a dank, freezing cold room day after day. Our room doesn't even have windows - it's seriously like Gollum's cave. When I leave the classroom and go into the bright sunlight, it's like I've entered another world. I'm pretty sure my mentor teacher likes it that way. PS I would like to point out that being a student teacher is thus far the weirdest experience of my life. Weird in a good way, but weird nonetheless. There's a huge difference between being a teacher and being a student, and it really requires a complete change in the way you think. It's sort of hard to describe, but I'm still at a place where it's a little uncomfortable but the switch in my brain is starting to flip.
