Now, I know what you’re gonna say: “Natasha, it’s been a
whole week since we last heard from you.” Where have you been, Girl? And how’s
your internship coming along?”
Well, I’m gonna do like Paula Abdul and tell y’all
straight up: This bright-eyed Vipress suffered from the worst case of burnout
since my junior year at Rust… I mean, I was some kinda worn out on Friday!
Usually, I head up to the library after I clock out from my internship, but
lemme tell y’all something: After that dismissal bell rang on Friday, Mrs.
Martin and I wished each other a good weekend, and then I got on the bus and
headed straight home. Matter of fact, a sista was plumb tuckered out, so much
so, that as soon as I got home on Friday evening, I walked right into my
bedroom and just freakin’ crashed face first on my bed! I must’ve been some
kinda tired, too, because the last thing I remember was closing my eyes, and
before I knew it, I had a dream that the phone was ringing. Come to find out,
the phone really was ringing—it was
my dad. He had left a message saying that he was ordering food from Mr. Chuck’s
restaurant on account of it was too hot to cook… and it most certainly was.
As for my internship at Carter Elementary, this is Week
Four, and I’m learning more and more about what it takes to be a great teacher…
and yes, the little ones are still the highlights of my day. I tell y’all—they are
truly some little wonders. Everytime I converse with these kindergarteners or
interact with them, I get a clearer understanding of why Mrs. Martin, Mr. D,
and my Grampa Clark loved what they do. I can also put my Uncle Anthony on this
list—he may not teach kindergarteners, but he is still a teacher.
Well, I reckon I’d better close up this here blog post,
but I shall holla at y’all later on. Before I do, though, I gotta point out: I
spent this past entire weekend catching up on some good ol’ fashioned R&R,
and now I feel quite rejuvenated. Now, let’s see what the new fall season of
2015 has in store for us!
Until next time, y’all take care and be good.
Smooches,
Natasha
