QotD: Education, Occupation

What was your major or field of study in college? Did you wind up working in that field or using that degree? If not, what field have you wound up in?

I started off in Secondary English Education and then switched to Elementary Education. I still have 2.5 years left until I will be licensed, done with student teaching and ready to have my own classroom...but hey, I'm halfway through now!  I sincerely hope that I end up in this field or else I will feel like I wasted a lot of time and energy that could've gone elsewhere. I'm almost positive I will teach someday. Right now it seems a little scary but I'm hoping by the time I'm done with school I will feel very prepared to teach.

Well, it's been an interesting week up here by myself. Luckily, I've spent time with friends so that has made it a lot better. It's weird being in the apartment all by myself without Tim and Deanne around. Works has had its ups and downs, that's for sure. I was with my group three days and in the homework room two days. Eventually I'll be the homework room person- I'm not sure how I feel about that. Some days, my kids drive me crazy...but other days, they make it all worthwhile. They are absolutely the only reason I am still working there. My director drives me insane and I just learned that everyone else pretty much feels the same way. We get yelled at for a variety of trivial things but we never really get praised for any of the good that we do. We also don't get supported nearly the way we should. I feel that she won't really help me when I need it and that I'm pretty much on my own. A lot of us feel very fed up. I miss Mary and the Sunflower Crew. If it weren't for the kids and the fact that they need me, I'd be out of here so fast it'd make you dizzy.
