Geoff and I have been having an awesome month! Geoff has been taking an LSAT course to help him prepare for the actual test and it seems like we never see each other. BUT his time away from me has been well spent. He takes a practice test every saturday and every time he scores about 2-3 points better than the last time. His highest score is 168 which I think is great! He would never go around tooting his own horn so I have to. :-) The LSAT is the law school admission test, and the test is out of 180. Geoff also got a 100% on one of his math tests this week. Thankfully I keep myself busy with my student teaching, sometimes I don't even notice Geoff is gone.
Student teaching has been AWESOME! I love teaching SO much! I was placed into two different schools for my student teaching and I love both of the schools. My first school was Diamond Fork Junior High and I totally fell in love with the school. I think what helped was my cooperating teacher, Julie, she is amazing. She was always happy and positive and we worked well together. My students were so sweet, they would give me notes that told me I was their favorite student teacher, and when I left I got lots of candy. Who wouldn't feel special after all that? haha
I am currently at Maple Mountain High School and the curriculum is totally different from the Junior High. Diamond Fork was were I taught sports. Maple is where I teach zumba, kickboxing, step aerobics, etc. I have to tell you that zumba is the best thing EVER! Although some moves I am not very coordinated, I LOVE it. Geoff would say that I am obsessed. I am hoping that whatever school I end up with, they will want someone to teach zumba. Then I will have an excuse to actually get certified to teach it. Zumba is a dance fitness program that was inspired by latin dancing. It also has a lot of hip hop moves (and I'm currently trying to pop and lock it....haha). It says on the mirrors in the dance room, "If in doubt, just shimmy." Let's just say that the first few days of zumba I became a pro at shimmying.
Today has been great! I had mock interviews and it helped me notice my strengths and weaknesses while interviewing. This was a warm-up because this afternoon I had an actual interview for a part-time P.E. teacher. I think it went well and I will find out early next week, cross your fingers! :-) I also bought an airplane ticket to Oklahoma (graduation present from my parents)! Yay! I will be gone while Geoff is preparing/taking the LSAT and I'll be out of his hair. Good thing because I shouldn't be distracting him. He needs to focus. :-)
