1:54 pm	The Week that Was I am trying to get into the habit of updating the journal at least once a week. With regards to the week that has just passed, I have to say that it was good. Thursday is great as always. Spent the time having good conversation with good friends. It really doesn't get any better than that. The next day, I accompanied my brothers to San Diego. It really has been a while since I've gone back (a couple of months, I believe). Things went really well. We knew where we were going but got lost anyway. From downtown to the surrounding hills only to go to Old Town to then find the freeway and finally hit Mission Valley for breakfast at Mimi's. It was my first time going and I was definitely impressed. I really enjoyed the food. While my brother took his examination. My brother and I wandered the mall. The weather was tremendous. Rain accompanied by strong winds, its the perfect combination for a wonderer like me. Seriously, it couldn't have gone any better. After my brother finished, we stopped here and there, just for kicks. For those of you who know (or don't know), I have always had difficulty trying to relax. Moments of tranquility are very rare for me so I have to be thankful for them. Saturday was relatively tranquil by comparison to the previous two. Spent it at home "animeing" with my little sister. Good times. Recently, I have rediscovered my love for working out. I have been doing so with some regularity for the past week. Let's just hope that things remain that way. (Comment on this)

7:57 pm	Goals to Reach Lately, I have had spent much time thinking about many things. Some of them good, others that are decidedly less so. Despite trying to avoid all the negative thoughts, they always find a way to seep their way through. And yet, having a good relationship with family and friends help to make all the difference. I hope to never forget that the lesson. As I await what the CCTC says about my credential. I have decided to do spend more time getting in shape and working on my writing. Currently, I am trying to develop my writing through poetry. At some point, I would like to try my hand at writing a fanfiction story. All in due time, I suppose. (Comment on this)

12:35 pm	Time for an update I have neglected this journal for quite a long time now. Hopefully, that will not be the case for the near future. Currently, I am taking care of some "issues" that have been neglected for quite some time. At this point, I am at a crossroads. Its the age old question for me. Where and what am I doing with my life. Thinking about things too much will not help matters any. Oh well. I am sure that "it" will come to me at some point. For the time being, I just need to keep busy with work and begin preparation for future endeavors. (Comment on this)

8:18 am	Been a while Its been a while since I lasted updated the ol' journal page. Just goes to show that I am not used to keeping a journal. Still, I am doing the best that I can. With my student teaching, I think that I have turned the page. I have gained better perspective and my approach towards my students has changed. I am learning to be more efficient and my daily planning has improved. There is still much left to do and many new techniques to come across and adapt to. I feel hopeful about what's to come.

6:40 pm	Finishing Strong Lately, I began to doubt myself once more about whether or not I was a capable teacher, particularly with one of my early morning classes. I went in today not knowing what I was going to do but it all came together. I reacted to what they did and re-established the ground rules. My master teacher told me that I did well which makes me glad. I've been on a few downers this week so finishing the week strong is a welcome accomplishment for me. Now I get to wake up late for the next two days, yes! O' to the weekend! (Comment on this)

11:04 am	This usually happens . . . Yup, this type of thing usually happens. I make a big bold statement and then am unable to follow through (for whatever reason). On the week that was at student teaching. Things went very well until Friday. Sigh. I really feel like I screwed up. After having felt that I had done well, Friday comes along to change all of that. Its the only dance step that I seem to know. Take one step forward, two steps back. At least thats how it feels . . . but there's no time to get down on any of that. You learn best from your mistakes, thats how the saying goes I believe. Can't dwell for too long; time to get work. (Comment on this)

4:57 pm	Things to get done at some point When I first began to keep an online journal, I did so as a means of release. My friend was right. I'd kept alot bottled up for so long. It seems so stupid and yet here I was doing the exact same thing that I was telling others not to do. Sigh. I aim to post something here everyday. How long will this last? I am not sure. For the time being, I am just gonna try to coast along and be happy doing so. (Comment on this)

6:24 pm	A Day of Discovery The student teaching experience is one that continually opens my eyes to things that hitherto had gone unnoticed. On Friday of last week, I had a particularly horrid day (this was due to illness). My students were really talkative and I really heard it from my master teacher. Admittedly, I've been lagging it in the classroom when it comes to discipline. Today, I went in to set the "record straight" and things went exceedingly well. I had to move one student but he expected it and there was no fuss made about it. They really are good kids. I am really happy to have them. Although, I worry about getting too attached. As a new teacher, I want to help them all . . . but ultimately, I will only be able to do so with those who want it. Just the reality, I guess. Sigh. Currently, it would appear that I've gotten over being "the ringmaster" which had been a big deal for me during the first week. Still, I can only imagine what lies ahead. Ah yes, the beauty of the journey. (Comment on this)

6:44 pm	First Entry Well, some of my friends will tell me that its about time. In all honesty, I had considered doing this earlier but was always hesitant about doing so. After all, who would want to read about what I have to say? The debate in my head was whether to open an account here or at my space. In the end, I decided to do it here just because it has more of a "journal" type of feel. That, and it appears to be less complicated which is just perfect for a newbie like me. Now that I've decided to take the plunge, its time that I make the most of it. To those of you who happen by, greetings and welcome. I am happy to finally take an active part of this community.
