Patience

Every day for the last week, Evan has run in asking about the mail.  Specifically, is there any mail from Arkansas?  The only interview Evan has had so far went better than we could have planned, but we are still in the waiting game to find out if we will in fact be moving to Arkansas.

I'm 6 weeks from graduation, and at the point where I feel like I am also waiting.  Just biding my time until student teaching is over.  Filling out applications in two different states, a dozen different districts, just waiting to know which I should be putting more work into.  My upper placement has not been going as well as kindergarten.  The teacher I am with is known for using student teachers as personal assistants.  My supervisor said, "Hang in there.  You're almost done, and her opinion matters nothing in your final grade." This took away all of my motivation.  I am weeks behind on lesson plan write ups- even though I've been teaching reading and math.

Patience is something we are both learning at this moment.  Spring Break couldn't come soon enough for the Andersons!
