Okay, as the title states, this blog entry is supposed to be about my rambling thoughts and nothing in particular. This is what happens when you sign up for an independent study with a teacher and then when you come back from break he forgets that you did. It's entertaining in some respects. He gets all flustered and you do random assignments like a blog entry about rambling thoughts. I don't even know how long this thing is supposed to be. I'll probably do my best to make it close to 500 words. Oops, going for word count, so five hundred words :).
As much as this is supposed to be about rambling thoughts, I am going to at least try to gear it towards school to some degree, seeing as this is a class and all haha. So it's only the second day back from winter break but it's apparent that the administrative policies and habits are still the same. Time with family has not mellowed their resolve to suck, it seems it is just in their nature. My schedule is way better though :D. I am no longer taking two boring math classes, let alone one after the other. I am now taking this independent study class and another class called EC Reading. EC Reading is literally a class for reading books. I was very happy to be enrolled in that class :D (that smile isn't big enough to express my gratitude for it). I am still taking AP Chemistry first period. I am going to stick with it and even try to learn enough to attempt to pass the AP Exam at the end of the year. I don't expect that will happen though haha. I am also still AP Literature second period. That class is okay, I am still hoping that we will get into a book that I will really be able to enjoy. Slaughterhouse-5 isn't horrible by any means but it's certainly not one of my favorite books. Third period is this wonderful gem of a class and fourth period is my reading class. Irelan keeps telling us we need to pick books our reading level but I have no freaking clue what she thinks is our reading level. I am going to pick a couple of books and such off of my shelves at home and find little reviews for them (and possibly their supposed reading levels) and run them by her to see what she thinks. I showed her The Reality Dysfunction by Peter F. Hamilton today and she said it was below my reading level and that it was the only book that could be. So I am curious as to what she considers my reading level. My fifth, sixth, and seventh periods are all the same, with only a few differences this semester. My fifth period has one new student and our goal is supposed to be more sales-oriented this semester. We will see how that goes. Sixth period now has Maria and Amber in it so I have more reason to laugh and enjoy that class. Drake teaches history in a way that I can actually learn it without wanting to bore through my head with a large drill. We swear we learn through osmosis in that class haha. Seventh period is going to take an interesting turn when we get our teaching field placements. I am excited and I know I will be teaching either at AC Middle or at Alsup Elementary, more likely the former. It will definitely be my first true experience in the world of teaching :D.
