"and then...and then...and then..."

i HATE teaching strictly content lessons. i'm really bad at it, and i feel like i sound like that chinese lady from dude where's my car... "Elisha did this, and then he did this, and then he did this, and then he talked to these people, and then he healed this person..." ugh.
i'm so used to teaching in field ed classes, which are far more principle based, the adjustment and balance between the two is so difficult for me right now. (i'm teaching a highschool survey class)
i tried my best to squeeze principles in the middle of those things, but it was so much harder than i thought it would be... i taught through 9 chapters of 2 kings today, strictly covering Elisha and his ministry, and i didnt even finish. i have to talk about him again tomorrow... meh.
Dr. C is coming to visit tomorrow, and i'm actually really excited about it, i miss ciu, and i miss seeing her every day. she's not observing me until the afternoon, which i am so thankful for because i'm so much more comfortable by the end of the day.
i can feel my students start to open up to me and talk with me, and i really love it, i'm getting to know them and how to interact with them, and it makes this whole thing so much more fun.
billy (my cooperating teacher) told me today that i have a good "teacher voice" i'm not sure exactly what that means, but it sounds so legit to me, i'll take it.
tomorrow i'm giving my first quiz. weird. and exhilarating all at the same time. i can feel the power. muahahahaha...

 

This is my trailer... i mean "module" :)
