Anticipation
June 13, 2008
So, I’ve made it through my first week of MAT. I still don’t have a very good idea of what’s in store for me in the next year. I have the same feeling I had while being cranked slowly up, 150 feet above pavement on Lagoon’s SkyCoaster ride, only to be released into freefall for about 25 feet and then left to swing back and forth above the park. As with anything, the anticipation is the worst. I have no idea how much work will be involved, whether I will enjoy my time student teaching, or if I will even make it through. Logically I tell my self that eventually it will be over and I’ll come out okay, but I just can’t make myself believe this yet. I’m getting too into my head and I just need to live one day at a time right now.

I know exactly how you feel, and think I am in the same boat. I don’t think this first week accurately represented how much work we are really going to have to put in. I mean, beside the reading for research and design, I am done with everything we need to do through Tuesday, and it has seemed way too easy.
At least knowing that it will get tougher will help us deal with it when it does. Brace yourself, we’ll get through it.
