Work

Today was my first day of student teaching, and while I hated leaving Kari and James at home, I was pretty excited and a little nervous about my first day. I did little other than introduce myself to the students and observe the classes of the teacher I will be working with, but it was fulfilling and tiring at the same time. I am very excited to be working with a teacher who is very good at what he does and shares a similar perspective with me on how history should be taught. I was also supposed to begin my class at Georgetown today, or so I thought. After looking at the college calendar online to find out when my on campus class began I made the trip to Georgetown. Halfway there, I had to take a detour all the way over to Midway to get on the interstate because 460 was closed. After taking the detour as fast as I safely could, I arrived at my classroom right at the starting time of 4:50 to find an empty classroom. It turns out that while undergraduate classes began today, graduate classes don't start until next week. So after a long day at school, I wasted a little over an hour driving back and forth the long way to Georgetown. Sometimes God has interesting ways of teaching us things; I think he's trying to make me realize how much I need to work on my patience.
