The Willies

So, I've always been one to get excited for the first day of school. I love the new notebooks, pencils, highlighters, etc. I enjoy meeting new people and even more, I enjoy learning new things. I've been so excited to start my first day of graduate school, that I hardly noticed how nervous I have been these past few weeks. However, my calm and composed self abruptly left me today when I realized that I'm a GRADUATE STUDENT.
It was quite the realization. This was no run of the mill epiphany. This was the real deal.
I can't believe it, I'm in grad school. Most of all though, I'm excited. I'm excited to rock the socks off this beast. I'm excited to actually be interested in the classes I'm taking, but most importantly, I'm excited to apply everything I learn into a classroom of my own some day.

Here's to being a better teacher than the bad ones that I've had to deal with over the years.
Wish me luck!
