Day Number Five: 11th Grade Service Project

Today was a day that sort of shook me out of my routine. My assigned classroom of one A.M. session and one P.M. session does not have school on Fridays. So instead I went and helped in fellow Regis Student Rob's assigned class. The first adjustment I had to make was to the different arrangement of the room, it was flipped around and felt foreign, yet familiar to me. The new kids I met seemed more accepting of me than when I first met my assigned class. They also run on a different schedule, their class goes an entire day and they also get a naptime! Even though the other kids are around the same age level as mine, they seem more normal than the kids in my class, which is weird because my class seems full of average-joe kids without major problems. I will most likely be in Rob's class again next Friday, and I am surprised to find myself looking forward to it, after all, the constant boredom of doing the same things twice each day was starting to wear on me. I definitely know I want to go to college and do something, not involving pre-school, with my life, because it is very tiring basically being a day-care teacher. On a side-note, I have found a paradox today, or at least rediscovered it, because of the preschoolers resistance to nap-time, which I would gladly take, but when you are young and have available naptime, you do not want it, when you are older and long for naptimes, you do not get them. I am sure this has already been realized by many people.
