Four and a half weeks left. And then the program ends. What will we do with ourselves when we have completed this educational boot camp? Will we march headlong into the abyss that is the teaching profession? Will we recover our sanity? Will we be prepared for that first time a classroom belongs to us, and not our master teachers? Will we be prepared for five classes and 150 students? Will we fall prey to the statistical probability of burnout? How long will we remain idealistic? Will we learn how to support ourselves as well as our students?
A week off and now a month on. A month of wading through, of furious weeks and precious weekends. Of plowing on and surviving. Here we go.

Oh man...the thought of being done just doesn't even seem real. For us, though, there's no "done." We'll be back in classes just as soon as we get hired. For now, there's just "paycheck." That's the milestone I'm waiting for.
haha educational boot camp.
true, mr. hill. true.
and uh, put me down for the "eventual burnout" part.
