Day 1-2 of my Solo Week

I've been busy planning for my first official solo week. It's been an unbelievable ride so far throughout student teaching. Before I started, I had to take a 28 hour plane ride (which was slightly longer than I was used to). I left the country for the first time...in actuality I left the east coast of the US for the first time. I've experienced an incredible range of emotions from being homesick to being unable to sit still because of all the excitement. Now it's all at a point where I know it is coming to an end. Most of the people in the program are sad to leave Australia, and I am as well but I couldn't have asked for more out of this experience. Once again I've learned that the key word for teachers is "flexible." The teachers with the most specific plans are typically the ones that need to be the most flexible. Things go wrong every day in regards to the schedule and accepting that has been the key to my sanity so far during my solo week. It's time to plan for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday now.
