Yes. It indeed has been a while since I have updated this thingamajigger. But for good reason, you see. I have been swamped with finishing student teaching, cramming for a praxis exam (which I take in 2 weeks by the way! ahh!), writing a research paper, AND attempting to apply for teaching positions. But wait- the madness doesn't stop there.
You may be asking yourself, "But how could it get any crazier, my dear friend Katie?"
And I will tell you, on Friday I woke up so early- I'm talking crazy folk may go to bed at the hour in which I awoke from my sleep yesterday. And why did I do this? So that I could drive to Greensboro to attend the North Carolina's Council of Teachers of Mathematics conference!!
YIPEE! It was splendid! I learned so much about teaching and math, I was like a little kid in a candy store. AND... I also got to share MY experiences of student teaching with other soon to be math educators. It was an honor. And I received many encouraging words/words of wisdom about the life calling of education.
It is just that- a life calling. So yesterday was a treat for me, because I once again was reminded of the joy that goes along with the journey of teaching! It is my passion. It is in my gut. And I LOVE what I am doing!!
Yes- you may think I am a nerdball for attending a math conference. But who cares? It's me! :)
(Oh and then I got to the awesome day in prayer and worship with some of my favorite people ever. Yes, I'm spoiled.)
