before and after student teaching

before:
-i got plenty of sleep almost every night. if i didn't get enough sleep, i took a nap the next day.
-i never woke up before 8:00 a.m.
-i blogged every day, sometimes twice a day
-i talked to my friends on a daily basis
-i made plans every weekend, whether is was family or friends
-i was 75% sure that i wanted to be a teacher

after:
-i haven't gotten a decent night's sleep since the night of august 26th. not one.
-my alarm is set for 5 a.m. not that i get up at that time, but it's still set nonetheless
-the last time i blogged was sunday, and that doesn't really count. i still haven't updated you on the fun trip to san antonio.
-i'm doing good if i talk to my friends twice a week. this is killing me.
-my plans for every weekend (except this past one) include lesson plans and sleep. that is all.
-i am no longer 75% sure that i want to be a teacher. it's 100%.

what a sweet post. that's why you'll be a wonderful teacher. because, despite the sacrifices, which all too often go unnoticed, teachers know they could never work anywhere but with our children. i'm praying that God pours out amazing blessings on you and your teacher career!
