First day of school

Today was the first day of classes and for the first time in a long time, I felt completely terrified. It was that, first day of first grade feeling all over again. I am entering into the world of the unexpected. This semester is all about learning how to teach, all my methods courses. Next semester, student teaching and graduation. I can not express in appropriate words how terrified I am of that idea. I was on campus, camped out in front of the elementary education advising office at 6 AM this morning. Oh, the things we do for our education. There are a limited number of spots open to student teach in Cache Valley and they place us on a first come first serve bases. So, all of us crazy students lined up to put in our applications. I then proceed to orientaion and my first class. I walked away feeling only slightly less overwhelmed than I had this morning. We'll see what the rest of the first week brings. Each day is different so I still have no idea what I am getting into!
