Fitting in

I love going to school. I feel like I am really in now. This week I have felt like I fit in more with the teachers. I've been involved in a lot of teacher conversations this week, especially fun conversations. And it was kind of awesome.

Students are getting to know me more and getting more used to me too, I think. Many of them say, "Hi, Miss Cox," and, "Bye, Miss Cox," when they come into and leave the information center. Some even carry-on conversations with me.... and even initiate those conversations! There are a few students who I especially like. There are a lot of teachers I especially like, too. I will definitely be sad to leave here in two and a halfish months.

I still love my supervising teacher. She is so awesome. I just really think a lot of her. We get along so well. It is such a great placement because we get along in general, not just in library-related areas. We're getting to know each other better and I noticed the past couple of days that we've joked around a lot more and are more casual, even in front of other people. For example, we kind of gave each other a teasingly hard time about something after school at the technology committee meeting today. I will be really sad to leave her at the end of April. Last day of student teaching is April 29.

Tomorrow I will not be at school, but will be at a district-wide meeting with all the ETs and ISes--Educational Technologists and Information Specialists--from each school. The ET from my school is picking me up at 8. The meeting is at 9. It lasts until 3. Our Paris trip departs at 5 tomorrow. Where we depart from is relatively close to where my meeting is, so I'll be leaving the meeting with J. and she'll take me to the departure point after we kill time. I'll just be meeting Quintin, Al, Terry, and Jenna there. I am extremely excited for this weekend. We will be in Paris, will visit many places in the city, get some free time, and go to Versailles. We'll get back late Sunday night and have Monday to rest since we have no school for Presidents Day.
