Zip-a-dee-doo-dah

Well, to bring you up to snuff on my life. I must be a glutton for punishment. I have decided to take on the teaching practicum I was offered. I was hoping to be able to drop one of my classes in Albany and just do one there and this practicum. But, as it turns out, transferring the credits was not approved. SO, I am going to do all three after all. That's okay, though. I am thoroughly enjoying the practicum so far. I am learning more than I expected and mostly about myself and my perspective. You see I took a teaching methodology class for teaching in the foreign language classroom last Spring semester. I really enjoyed it and I did well. But, this is one on one, and I am having to keep a journal in which I am required to analyze what I observe. So I am getting great feedback. And, so far, I have learned that I am not as scared to be in front of the class as I thought. As a matter of fact, I really think I could get to like it once I get some more experience.

Today proved to be another "learning experience". What I learned was: always make sure your pants are zipped. Yes, indeed!! If I can expose my "granny panties" to a class full of people, I can conquer the world!! I noticed a slight breeze about the middle of class time. I quite nearly burst out laughing in the middle of class. I had everything I could do to discretely zip my pants and stifle the laughter inside me. So, I ask you, what do you do in that situation? Sometimes, all you can do is laugh.

This makes me recall back in grade school the moment when a teacher would ask you to tell about your most embarrassing moment. Well, I was hard-pressed to think of one back then, but gave some lame answer instead. I can now go to my grave with the realization that I now have the "most embarrassing moment" story that every human life should not do without. LOL. It just makes me want to sing. C'mon everyone! Join me in an old Disney favorite.




Any of you care to share YOUR most embarrassing moment? No pressure, but I just had to offer. (I need to have the spotlight taken off me!)
