The day is only halfway over and it appears to be one of those days...you know, the kind where every little thing just seems to go wrong or be off...
It started when I arrived at the school for observation/teaching and discovered that I had prepped with the wrong notes...the teacher had given me an older copy... and also discovered that there was another concept I was supposed to be teaching.
Well, I had to wing it--I knew the material I just hadn't practiced the examples.
Well, thankfully, things went really well while the lady who watches me was there. But, not so happily, things went rather badly for the last 20 minutes or so. I was showing them how to convert a standard form of a quadratic equation into vertex form and i left out a step but didn't realize until after we had moved on...so, they were very confused when they left. The teacher hadn't even realized I had made a mistake otherwise she would have made note of it.
*sigh*
And then I went to lunch and picked up my mail. My yearbook picture proof was in...it's bad. I look like I am missing a few wrinkles in the gray matter.
and then I came to work. I kept making mistakes (although able to correct without too much hassle) on journal entries. The printer printed all the journals out of order. and I have to make a correcting entry anyways because one of the persons who wrote up a journal entry gave me a wrong ID number.
and i sitll have 3 hours and 10 minutes left of working time...
