Different Perspectives

Tomorrow I face a panel of 4 professors and 2 high school teachers that will tell me how badly I suck at writing and inherently decide whether I can continue on my path to be a high school English teacher. Great.

As I am now looking over the pieces I turned into the panel 24 days ago, I find myself wondering "what was I thinking?" Why did I choose to write these papers this way? I could have taken a completely different spin on them, yet I chose this point of view. Will it be enough? Do they have faith that through the next 2 semesters I will be ready to teach high schoolers? I find myself second guessing at every turn.

On another note, today was productive and unproductive at the same time. I actually read the reading assigned for class today. And I designed the poster for our group project in another of my classes (which I have to say was amazingly cute), but at the same time, I feel as though I accomplished nothing.

I still have so much to do before I leave for Tulsa on Tuesday evening. I have to shop, pack, work work work, decide what I'm wearing and bringing to sign, etc, and get all of my homework done! People keep asking me about missing class for tour and how I can do it, but really I'm only missing 3 days of class. And only 1 class period for all of the classes I am missing except 1. Not bad for going to nine shows. Also, this is a chance of a lifetime that this semester worked out the way it did. I don't know if it will ever happen again. And if this is the only time it happens, I want to make it a good one.

I haven't decided what I am bringing to my meet and greet yet. I kind of want it to be something I can put up on my wall but I thought about bringing my walk book. Any suggestions?
