S. F. Sorrow is born!

Lately my time has been consumed by five things:

1) Work (always, always work)
2) That volunteering thing I do
3) Chasing mountains during these sunny days
4) Obsessively playing Phase 10 with my housemates
5) Studying to take the Praxis (I immediately and II nearly immediately)

The last thing on my list has decidedly moved up in the priorities of my current life. After being in my job for the past year, I've realized (many times over) how much I need to learn about the inner workings of a school and moreso, a classroom. I know that I have good, solid ideas about integrating arts learning into existing curriculum, but I need to see this learning in practice. I've decided to move forward in answering that looming question and gain classroom experience. I'm preparing myself to apply for jobs teaching secondary social studies. I'm gonna use that gosh darned degree again!

This could be a long and potentially disappointing process: will I get a job? will I love it? will I hate it? will I become catatonic from the stress of dealing with mouthy teenagers if I do get said classroom?

Only time and a whole lot of energy will tell. I suppose I have the backup plan of working at Starbucks or selling off organs one by one. Hopefully, neither of those options will come to fruition, but if they do, I swear I'll have fun. And give you free frappamochacinolattefatfreewithwhipdecafpleases.
