"Cinderella"

Did you know there are over 340 different versions of "Cinderella"? I personally find that fascinating. It's also very interesting to be because they all say something about the culture, they try to teach some sort of lesson, and each lesson is similiar but different, if that makes any sense at all. I think it's cool - not so sure about my kids...

I had my second and last observation of the year on Wednesday. It went really well and my principal really liked my lesson. I am so glad to be finished with observations for the year. They are just a lot of paperwork and a lot of time. I always feel like I have to be extra prepared. I know I should be prepared at all times, which for the most part, I am, but observations are something else entirely. These observations are to ensure that I get my standard license and keep my job! Aaah - talk about pressure! At least I wasn't as nervous this time, that helped a lot too.

It snowed a bit today, but nothing like they were saying we were supposed to get. I'm not too sad - I'm not a big fan of it snowing when I have to be driving in it.

Since I couldn't make an appointment with a specialist in Wichita over break, I thought I was going to have to go to Bettendorf, IA (almost 3 hours away), but I just found one in Ankeny (30 minutes!) which makes life a whole lot easier. I need to try to call them tomorrow, but I hope they can meet with me and fix my mouthpiece so these weird headaches go away!

Only 10 days until my friends have to be back at Drake for school! Maybe some of them will come back early so I have something to do :)
