It's almost month 2 of school and so far it is utter chaos. A balancing act of electronic art, pottery, education classes, and personal life outside of school. With that in mind, I am doing my best to ensure that I get things done and provide the best education I can for my Polaris class. I've been dancing to this song for three years now, so I've picked up skills that allow me to mitigate my time around and find the best way of handling overfilled plates. The condition is that some areas may falter, and I've accepted that because it's simply not healthy for me to push myself where pushing is not within my best interest.

With the first real lesson passing by, it is definitely something that is going to be a blind leap but we're going to be prepared. It was exhilarating and enlightening knowing what to be a little more prepared for this time. There are still moments that will arise where we won't be prepared, but now that we have an idea of what is to come, we will have the necessary tools to take the leap.
"One tick-tock, two tick-tock, three tick-tock.
Repeat, repeat, repeat. Step for step. Beat for beat. One tick-tock..." After the first real week of teaching and getting into the groove of the semester, I've come to realize that it's going to be a lot of repetition and making sure everything is in order. Especially from my first time in a kindergarten classroom, I knew that it'd be a lot of repeating to make sure messages are translated across and understood by the students. It will take cooperation from both us as teachers and them as students as we work in sync. If it's one thing I've learned in the first couple weeks of this semester is that it's going to be an upward climb until December comes along. There's going to be plenty of assignments every week for education, big projects that are going to take a lot of focus to complete in Electronic Art, and diligence with keeping up on Pottery. It feels like that even though I have soon to be four years of college behind me, that I'm still at the first level. It's a daunting view from down here compared to other people but the top view is going to be breathtaking.
