I've started counting down the days I have left student teaching - yes, I'm a counter. It's not that I've been having a terrible time, but now that I'm 2 weeks away from being done, I'm starting to check out. Not a good thing. But I keep planning what I'll do with all my free time (yeah, right) when I don't have to get up at 5:45 anymore.

Yesterday was a pretty good day. The kids were at least calmer than last week, though I did get some funny answers. When asked what causes change in population, one kid spouted out "sex" (true), one said "climate" (I guess it's kind of true, in a roundabout sort of way, maybe), and one kid went on and on about animals, squirrels and stuff (not so sure about that one).
