Applying

I haven't written a new post in a very long time. I have been very busy going to work, hanging out with "long lost friends" and relaxing as much as possible. I am happy to say that life is much less stressful lately.

I recently got my scores back from my Praxis II test. I passed it my first try and not only did I pass it but I got a 191 out of 200 and I only needed a 160. I rocked that test. I am very proud of myself and more than a little bit relieved to not have to dish out an additional 80 dollars to take the test again. Now I just need to dish out another 70 dollars for fingerprinting and background checking.

I just finished writing my cover letter and fixing my resume. Now I need to fill out an application. I have to have 5 copies of all three things to be delivered to the ed center by June 1st. This is how schools match student teachers with mentors I guess. I hope I get a good mentor. i had a very good one last time. I hope to do so again. I also hope to do a better job with names this time. I did pretty well last time but there are few I didn't get and I know I have forgotten many now. I am always worried that I will get a name wrong or that I won't like my mentor teacher or I will get lost or they will mistake me for a student. That would be very embarrassing and how would I prove that I am who I say I am? At least at the middle school the risk of that was minimal.

All worries for later. Right now I need to focus on work, paying the bills, getting fingerprinted and background checked, and having a very fun summer before I have to return to school in the fall.
