bonsoir!
well, i have officially completed 7 weeks of student teaching! this past week was my first week of full responsibility, and i am relieved to say it went off without any major problems. i don't think i can take the credit for that, though - God has been so good to me! i only have 5 more weeks of student teaching and then....?????? this is where it really gets hard for me to trust the Lord. silly, but true. i just don't know what is going to happen. i don't even have a vague idea!
for the past month i have been involved in the church choir, and i have really enjoyed it. i didn't realize how much i missed singing with others who share the same passions for Christ, loving others, music and singing. until last weekend, though, i had only been going to practices - i wansn't ready to sing in church just yet. you see, my church, it's kinda big. i don't mind the lots of people thing. i've done that since i was 8. i was a little apprehensive about going up on stage because it is like announcing to everyone "hey, i am back! i DO live here...you just had no idea!" like i have said in previous posts, there are some people in this city who i would rather not run into - it would just be awkward with some of them, and possibly dangerous to meet one of them. one of the "awkward" people goes to my church, and happens to be best friends with "dangerous"...hence the fear of appearing on stage ("awkward" sees me, tells "dangerous", "dangerous" puts 2 and 2 together...)
things with jack have improved greatly! he acts completely normal, and as of thursday, we have been taking him on short walks and playing with him like usual. hopefully we can keep him from re-injuring his back. we don't know what happened before, but really, he is 5 and that is the first time we have had a problem with it.
i have realized i am really going to miss my students when i am done student teaching. they constantly make me laugh (which, if you know me, doesn't take much, but still...).
i ate at la madeline with my mom tonight - i ate a croque monsieur, which is something i haven't had since i was in france! needless to say, it wasn't as good, but it was still awesome! i also had ceasar salad and a french vanilla and fruit creme brulee dessert. i very much miss france.
