Teaching?

    Tomorrow, I'm going to substitute teacher orientation. I don't know whether to be excited or nervous...both? Yes, I'm both excited, but at the same time extremely nervous.
   I've never really wanted to be a teacher, but lately many people have said that I would be good at it/they can see me doing it. Huh. I mean, I've thought about it a couple times, but I always come to the same conclusion...no, I don't want to to that. I do like talking about ("teaching") things that I am knowledgeable and passionate about, but I've never wanted to teach teach, like give homework, grade papers and all that. I was fine doing freshmen seminar at Cal Lutheran; talking to students about sex, drugs, alcohol, peer pressure, time management, etc., and I was fine in student government teaching new senators how to do things, but like I said, actual teaching...well, I'm not sure about that. I'm not totally ruling it out, but I'm just not sure it's what I want to do. We'll see how subbing goes, then I can let you know, or at least give myself/you a better idea of whether I want to do it or not.
   Wish me luck? :)

Day 27 and life

Day 27 - A picture of yourself and a family member...


 That's my sis! This is from her 20th birthday at Medieval Times (she is now 21 woot woot!). She's currently a junior in college and studying geology...crazy girl. :)

Anyway, how is everyone doing? 
I finally starting "working" for the girl scouts. I'm doing their PR. Sadly, it's not paid, but hey, experience and volunteering are both good things :)  Plus, I like the girl scouts; in fact, I used to be a Brownie. 
I'm also waiting to see if I am going to be a substitute teacher. I've never really had a desire to teach, but I figure it's a job, and why not try it, right? I also am big on education and education reform, so why not start here? Not that I'll be a teacher later in life, but I'll do what I can now. 


Thus, I digress...happy Wednesday!
