Structure, I need structure damnit!

I had to know things,
she was a tangle of questions...

Well, I've been through three days of my second student teaching stint, and I'm confused as hell. The quote I took from Moxy Früvous is especially appropriate tonight, considering I can't get a solid thought out of my new associate teacher. I get a lesson plan worked out in my head that I think will work, based on consultation with her, and by the next day I have no idea what is going on in her head.

I've learned to dread the words "or here's an idea" as they usually mean that she's decided to completely rewrite what lesson plans we had finally nailed down based on some extravagant brain fart she's just had. I have been there three days and I've yet to teach even one of her classes. My second associate is a little more conventional, bless her heart, and I think she understands the problems I'm having with the first. She told me to relax, because it's not me, it's her.

Other than that things are pretty quiet. I'm low on food: having no car sucks when the grocery store is two buses away. I haven't had time to workout with Phil either. Rikki and I talk regularly, but tonight was the first time I've talked to my parents in days.

My student teaching days were supposed to be the best days of Teacher's College. What happened? No use worrying about it now though, I still have to finish prepping for tomorrow's lessons. And I want to be a teacher because?
