Hello! Just wanted to introduce myself... I'm a girl, 23, from the desert lands of New Mexico, USA. Found this site when I was doing some hunting around for help on the internet. My SP is screwing me up in my academic and professional life. I am going to school for a degree in Elementary Ed. Supposed to be in the schools observing; However one must call and have and appointment with the principal first- which I have had extreme difficulting in doing-- I finally called yesterday 3 days before my first assignment is due, and was told by the secretary that I could not possibly do my observations for at least two weeks b/c of testing- which i know to be bs b/c my college professor is also and elem. teacher at the same school and informed me that 1. the testing has nothing to do with the grade level I am supposed to be observing & 2. it didn't even start until today and is only in the mornings not the afternoon. but for some reason, I just told the secretary "thats fine" and hung up. ::shakes head:: I SHOULD have just told her what I knew. So I got up the guts to EMAIL my professor who basically told me I had made errors in judgement in not calling the school or talking to her sooner (Which I know is true) and that I better call my other instructor about getting in the schools (Great, now I have to work myself up to calling Someone ELSE) that I can turn in my observations 2 weeks late for 75% of credit (Which is 25% more credit that she usually allow and 1 week longer) I know she is being very fair, but I am almost crying about all of this. It stresses me out so bad. I should just be able to call people/ go in an get things done, and I can't. Furthurmore I am afraid that my instructors will see me as not fit to be a teacher because of my timidity with unfamiliar situations such as this. ::SIGH::
Well, on another note, today is my daughters third birthday and I should concentrate on that. Thinking about what I need to do about the other makes my sweat and tremble!
Nice to meet all of you and hope you are all doing well.
