Hump Day

My quote for the day:


Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day.  ~Author Unknown

I rode my bike to my student teaching placement today because I missed the bus...it took 25 minutes. This wouldn't have been a big deal except it turns out someone stole the bungee cords for my bike yesterday! I had a side bag and normally could have attached it to the back of my bike, but had to put the straps over my head instead (it kept sliding off my arm). While that kind of sucked, at least I know how long it takes me to get to placement!

The rest of my day was better. The kids really did enjoy the observational drawing lesson with Otto the paddletail salamander--BV is an excellent drawer! I had no idea. Luisa also came to observe me, so that was fun. She was able to see a relatively quiet time of the day--too bad she wasn't there for the later group meetings! 25 restless kids on one rug = trouble. I'm also really happy that I was able to do my screening assignment on MB today. He put up with it really well, and I discovered that I love doing the screenings! I bet I could do the other children, too. Finally, a way to take initiative!

I did get hit in the face by a child trying to sit on my lap, but I didn't get licked or peed on today, so I'm considering myself lucky. I still have half the day to go, but I think it will be good. For once, I'm not rushing to finish homework, and today I get to go to SOAR, and have my second meeting with the ADHD coach!

UPDATE: Hannah works in DRES (where the ADHD coaching is)! Now I have a walking buddy every Wednesday :)
