Eeks to no communication and Shannon Hale.

So as of now, I received no email from Ms. DT about next Tuesday... which makes me nervous to think that she may not remember that I'm coming in on the 16th. However, I did receive an email from my clinical supervisor. She seems really nice and helpful. I won't meet her until next week though. Soooo, the first two days in the classroom? Free for all. eek.

I did go to the M-R website and find Ms. DT's classroom page... and well, thank goodness, I did! Our class is going on a field trip that Thursday. It's something you want to know! They're studying China right now... but the details, no clue. As Miss EB (she now has a blog; check it out. It's on the righthand side!) said, it's probably a way for the Big Guy to say, "Hey, go with the flow." It's obvious that as a teacher you have to, but it doesn't stop me from wanting to know what's going on in the near future. :P

I also sent emails to two other girls who are doing their full pracs at M-R. No response yet either. I didn't expect one until Monday though since they're probably still on vacation. Hopefully I might be able to finagle a carpool situation! I wouldn't have to wake up at 6am just to make sure I'm at school on time! Woo hoo! It would also save me $40 just this month from riding the subway. Gosh, I can't wait until I get my semester pass for February. I do not have the money to be doing all this subway riding! (Though I am saving money because I don't have to buy any textbooks this semester. That's always a good thing. First time ever!)

Another big praise is that my school has my refund check up on my student account. Yay for some income!

In any case, I think my big anxiety towards next Tuesday is going away. I just want to find out my schedule for the Grad Inquiry Seminar (which is Tuesday night)... like how many times we're meeting. Thankfully, it's only about 6 or 7 times a semester.

For the book lovers out there, if you haven't read any of Shannon Hale's books, you MUST. She's definitely my favorite young adult author. Amazing imagery, strong diction, and beautiful worlds. She helped inspire me with my own young adult novel that I'm currently working on (almost 30 pages, single-spaced, so far). I can't wait until River of Secrets comes out in paperback in April. Why paperback? Because my other Shannon Hale books are in paperback, and I'm a finnicky booknerd like that. :)

Anyway, go check her out! She's amazing.
