Organized Chaos


Day 1 of student teaching has been nothing but organized chaos. And what a day it was. Steve met me for the walk to the metro and introduced me to the school. My cooperating teacher, Ms. Coklas, is fantastic. She described her classroom as ‘organized choas’ and I have to agree with her. It’s going to be a great 8 weeks here! The 23 students are great kids and the rest of the staff at the school are fantastic.  Later this week, I’ll try to post pictures!
          I was invited to join the high school humanities class for their field trip this weekend and I said yes! Which means, ladies and gentlemen, that a few of my steps in Greece with be taken in Delphi! I’m so excited!
          Ashton, the other student teacher from the states, will also be going! We had a great afternoon getting to know each other – over coffee, of course! We also took a bus to IKEA and sat on the couches for quite a while J  
          I navigated the metro by myself tonight and didn’t get lost once! It’s a really easy trip actually – just one switch at the Syntagma station and then straight sailing back home. I was pretty proud of myself though! I’m finally able to eat real food – which makes me very happy and now, it’s almost bedtime. The next few weeks are going to be crazy blur – thanks again for your prayers – I need them always and you need to keep taking it one step at a time.
