I'm almost done with student teaching. I have 2 more weeks before the break and then I go back for 2 weeks after. I can't believe how fast it has gone by. Wait. I can believe it. I felt every single day. One of my mentor teachers pulled me aside yesterday and told me she was concerned about my growth. She said she feels like I'm plateauing. She proceeded to go on about how she wants to write me a letter of recommendation, but that she wants to write a good one. So, it woudn't be good if I asked her to write it now? What?
I was shocked by her comments. And really irritated.
This is coming from someone who has not been the most accomodating mentor teacher. She NEVER leaves the room during my class (not because she doesn't trust me, but because she likes to sit at her computer and play/work), she has interupted my teaching several times to add things, and she often interacts with my students while I'm teaching. It's been an interesting working with her. It hasn't felt like my classroom as much as my other class has, but whatever. I only have to endure her for 4 more weeks.
I was really annoyed by her comments about my growth though. What is she talking about? I try new things almost everyday. AND, when I try something and it doesn't work out so great, she's the first one to tell me that! She's impossible to please. She totally ruined my day (and almost my weekend) by ending the week with her lame comments.
I know I'm a good teacher. But, I'm a NEW teacher. Give me a break. Jeez.
Ryan is in Orlando. He'll be home tonight.
Wouldn't you know that my very nice camera is acting up. I have to take it in to the shop and it they say they need to send it to Nikon to get fixed, it'll be 2-3 weeks until I get it back. That sucks.
I'm having issues with my belly growth lately. I'm not 100% happy with how it's looking. Although I had lost a lot of weight in the months prior to getting to pregnant, I've never had a flat stomach. This is fact is haunting me now as my stomach grows, but my belly button stays in place. I have this little indentation where my belly button is, so my stomach is not perfectly round. I want it to be perfectly round. And, there's no space inbetween my boobs and my stomach--it just goes from bumps to bigger bump.
Lame.

Stupid teacher. What does she know? All the kids probably hate her. You don't want to be THAT teacher. Does she wear Teva's with big flowery dresses? My geometry teacher in 11th grade did and we all hated her. I'm just saying.
That is the lamest teacher ever. She doesn't know you.
Yeah, the whole belly growth is interesting. You're in the inbetween stage righ now where it's not really round and your belly button doesn't quite know what's going on. Don't worry, it will disappear soon enough. Sigh. Being pregnant is the worst. Hang in there.
The comment has nothing to do with your blog, however discovered something quite interesting... I decided to google my name on this fine cloudy Sunday and saw that my name pops up with one of your blog entries... interesting. Someone else needs to try this, just so I know I am not crazy....
BTW.. Jen you look FABULOUS for being pregnant, stop complaining, you have a new life inside of you!!
stace!
