New School, Still Cool!

I have spent this week getting back into the swing of things that some call student teaching. Let me sum up the last three days.

Day 1:
* Had my first power battle with a student... I won! (insert flex here)
*Felt awkwardly unprofessional cause I had a bra malfunction (luckily it was hidden.)
*Treated like a real life Barbie by the girls all day because they have a man for a teacher.
*First staff meeting- As I sitting at the table being talked to I see all my former teammates run by. The one and only Schoon makes eye contact and a crazy face at me. Needless to say I couldn't hold it together. I guess now they now I am a rowing dyke all too soon.

Day2:

Started off the day with this gem. One of the students tells a fellow teacher he is going to get her a birthday present next month. He informs her that he will be getting her skinny jeans. She asked him what he was going to do if she was too fat for them. He looks her straight in the face with his determined eyes and says "Don't worry. I'll just buy you extra-large."

* A student informs me she saw the "Mother Ship" the previous night. Then continues to tell me the aliens zapped her spider bite with the laser beam, and Kansas has a red cloud over meaning it is the center for all alien attacks, hmmmmm.
*Had a student tell me that my face was too red and I need to put some lotion on.
*Watched an infinite amount of student pick boogers and then wanna touch me or their friends...WRONG! Keep that nasty to yo self!
*Had lunch bunch with a couple of my higher level students. I honestly felt like I was at a wine tasting it was so sophisticated.

Day 3:
*Today I had my first crier. Luckily it was quickly fixable and life did in fact continue. Weird, right?
*Did some more running records.
*Got asked if I was old enough to teach the math lesson. He became content when he discovered that I am in fact in my twenties and already have a bachelor's degree.
*Beat the boys in Gotcha at recess. "PLAYGROUND RULES SUCKAS!"

Summed up what does this all mean?!?! I freaking LOVE my job everyday!
