But now I'm back in Atlanta for just a few more days.. This week should be pretty laid back though- we have sessions all week and more meetings and workshops in the evening, but my teaching is pretty much done. I taught my last formal lesson plan today and was observed, because my students take their big test tomorrow. I gave a good lesson today and actually gave all of my students my cell phone number so that they can call me when they get the results of their tests. I know that they will all pass, but I want to hold them accountable for letting me know that they passed and hopefully they will call and me proud to say so.
Tonight I took time out to go see a movie with some people and tomorrow is Katie's 22nd birthday so we may go out and get drinks since things are more laid back now.
I am also mentally preparing to have a quick turn around at home on Saturday then going back up to Minnesota on Sunday to pack up then down to Denver with my dad on Monday to move in on Tuesday. One more week until I am officially living in Colorado. It is very exciting but I am also nervous about making the big move. I had such a fun weekend and had some doubts and thoughts while I was up there that maybe I should have stayed, things are so good up there, I love it so much and there are so many important people there.. But when I got back here today and saw the kids, I realized that though it will be tough, that this job is important for me to do and that I will do and I want to do it. There are people counting on me and children's lives who I will hopefully make an impact on. There are going to be challenges ahead, but I am feeling more and more confident about my direction in this, it just takes some deep breathes, a few tears now and then, but then it's back out there and doing good work.
That's all for now- excited that this is the last week, woo hoo! No more dorm food and little tiny bed. :)
Peace-
C
