Monday. Pretty uneventful day at school. We had an FFA meeting and practice for the Speech/Ag Sales contest at 6:30 so I stayed from the time school got out until the meeting. It made for a really long day. The meeting was good and I am starting to figure out where people fit into the program (ie FFA officers, etc).
Tuesday was pretty uneventful as well. Well, at least until right before lunch. I hadn't paid for a lunch plan yet, so I was wondering around LHS trying to find the right person to talk to. I was walking down the hall during Seminar when, I almost got stopped by the hall monitor and asked where I was supposed to be. Then she realized that she had met me at the staff meeting last week and that I was Mr. Morgan's, student teacher. I know this because she relayed this story to me after catching herself almost asking where I was going. :) I guess I don't look as old as I had been telling myself I looked! :)
Wednesday was early. The alarm went off at 4:45 as I needed to leave the house at 5:30 to make it to LHS by 6:00. However, I pressed snooze a few times and eventually my backup alarm went off at 5:15. Thank goodness or I am not sure what would have happened. I showered and was leaving by 5:32. I even let me car warm up a bit! We left for Dover, KS, home of the Speech and Ag Sales contest, at about 6:40. I had the speech people in my van which consisted of 7 females. Needless to say, I didn't do a lot of talking. Contest went well. LHS placed 3rd out of 10 in the Ag Sales contest, beating Paola High by one place (they got 4th). Paola is where my good buddy Jordan (who also happens to be my roommate this semester) is student teaching right now. I have been rubbing it in! ;)
Well, tomorrow is my last day of observing. I start teaching this Friday. My first lesson is on Evaluation of Further-Processed Poultry Meats. :) Fun stuff
Oh, and these posts have been really boring, so I am going to try and start adding a picture at the end of each post. Just for something to look at.
This is a picture of dad's barn back home. I thought it was a pretty neat picture.
