they call me ms. clerks

hello friends. i know it has been way too long since my last update. but being a big girl takes up ALL my time. so since my last update, i have officially began my teaching career. my days are spent in my math classroom with my 63 sixth graders. i am absolutely loving everyday of my job. dont get me wrong it is hard, tiring, and work but it is such an amazing profession. i love knowing that i taught someone something. my kids are hysterical. i love them. everyday brings something new and exciting. i never knew sixth graders could be so entertaining. they keep me on my toes every minuet. i love how they think they are so grown, but still draw pictures of me on my board with sayings like "ms. clark be the best" and "ms. clark is da bomb." i have six different classes full of many different personalities. each one of my classes is special in their own way, and i love that. i think i have definitely found my calling. i never dreamed in a million years that i would enjoy hormonal and emotional middle schoolers, but i love them. i had an interview at an elementary school this summer, and the principal had previously been in middle school administration and told me "ms. clark i would love to hire you, but your supposed to be teaching middle school." well i never thought she would be right, but she most definitely was. i am so happy with my job. i love me students, principal, staff, and fellow teachers. i could not imagine a better place to start my teaching experience.

on a different note, its 4 days till kickoff. this week i have bought maroon nail polish, under garments, and clothes. needless to say i am overly excited. i cant wait to be back home. i miss my friends, mugshots, the cotton district, phi mu house, and football. although, i am sadden to say i will not be in starkville this weekend. luke's cousin in getting married in baton rogue, and i am super excited. i will be cheering the bulldogs to victory from tiger town. i cant wait to see everyone soon, at the auburn game next thursday. i hope all is well with everyone. oh and remember, ring responsible this weekend.
until next time
