fun tuesdays

one of my good friends mia works at a local chicago bar called schuba's on tuesday afternoons. so while i'm not in school, i've been going there and having very long lunches. this past tuesday the photo booth service man was there and we got to take these test picures. i love summer break!!!

when i'm not hanging out at schuba's on tuesdays i am actually doing some work. i'm currenlty supervising student teachers in a local high school. i really enjoy working with teachers in training. they are so cute and excited about teaching~ and they work like crazy!

i hate it when people say teaching is easy because we "leave work at 3pm and get our summers off". yeah, well we also have to be on top of our game every hour, every day, every class. we can't close our office door if we don't feel like talking or are under the weather. we have to put our students first.

...then when we go home, after extra help or coaching- around 5-6pm, we eat and then work for another few hours grading and preparing for the next day. and that's on a good, normal day...

then there are the occasional hour long parent phone calls, the emails home, the dealing with a student who is having a rough time at home...

and there are the weekend sports games and dances to chaperone. if you teach, you must love it. and if you love it and put in the work it is incredibly rewarding.
