new experiences...teaching and box color

So my first few days as an educator have gone as well as expected. I have to wake up at 5:30 in the morning to get to Saint Amant Primary by 7:20/ That part really sucks. Yesterday I didn't do much teaching. I just sat back and watched. Today I was with a math teacher as we alternate every other day. The second I walked in one of the kids said that I did not look old enough to be a teacher and all of them thought I was in high school! Too bad. I was also going over some word problems with them and got one completely wrong. I made it way more complicated than it was supposed to be. I felt really stupid when the teacher overheard me. She walked over and handed me the book and said "here's the answer key". This is fourth grade math were talking about people! Then one of the kids said that I am supposed to know everything because I am the teacher. I felt stupid but it was funny. At least I got the other ones right! After I left work I went and dropped off paperwork at the west baton rouge school board. I am sick of applications! I wish I just had a job already! Anyways... I must go because I am dieing my hair tonight and I have to go to bed early these days! Wish me luck. I hope my hair doesn't turn out crazy... I have never used the box before! Maybe mom can remember some of her old tricks and not jack me up ;)
