I have to give a talk this weekend on how to make students independent. I find it interesting that I am the one giving the talk since this is only my second year teaching. I am well prepared and I know that what I am talking about works. I have seen it work in my class.

I've been thinking a lot about teaching recently. I have been thinking about how I ended up in this particular field. This summer I had a conversation with Sarah in which she asked me how I decided to become a teacher. I thought a lot about it and realized that I really did not have much of a choice. I feel that it was set out for me. I am really good at it. Ever since I entered the COE and even now my peers look to me for guidance. The strange thing about it is that I'm not sure that I even like it. In college I tried other fields but I just didn't seem to fit into them. I was not motivated or I just sucked outright. I know I sound arrogant but it was just something on my mind.

I watched Grey's Anatomy and it was great. That show just sucks me in every time. I feel like an addict. I was fine living without it but now it is back, teasing me with previews. I feel like I can't wait for my next fix. I have to find spoilers anything to hold me over until the next episode. I hate tv!
