Here's my early take on my classes so far:
My science class isn't as tricky as I expected.
I can tell already that my Technology and Resource class will be a pain in the butt.
So far, pretty much nothing has been going on my internship class. I've had to fill out a few things and submit them to my professor which she will then use to find a teacher that will let me student teach under his/her supervision. The schedule of assignments she has for the entire class I think is a little ambitious. She has everything set on the assumption she can find a teacher willing to let the entire class working under the supervision of someone by January 21. This was about the same timeline that my internship was supposed so start last semester, about 3 weeks into the semester, and it took well beyond that for my professor to find a teacher that was willing to let me student teach under her supervision.

Update:
I'm pretty bored because I'm a week or 2 ahead in my 2 classes unrelated to my internship.
At the same time my internship still hasn't started because the professor, even though it literally said in the syllabus that she would set it up for me, hasn't. She also decided that even though part of the schedule is to contact her by a certain date to let her know I'm having issues and she'd get the ball in motion was optional. She told me it's on me on feed back from an assignment week or so ago.
As a result I've been sending out "please let me internship here" emails. I'm filing a complaint against her. This is dumb and I'm pissed off. I'm also pretty sure I'll be scrambling all semester with my non internship classes cuz of the time commitment I need to meet, just like last semester. f***ing dumb.

If you told me when I was in high school just scraping by with mainly C's that I'd be getting scholarship down the road I would've said you're nuts. This happened yesterday at a ceremony. I'm still very much ahead in 2 classes, but in a state of constant confusion in my Technology and Media Resources course. I'm getting the ball rolling on finally starting my internship. The polar vortex has made it impossible for individuals to access their school district email at home, so the email exchange I have been doing with a principal has been at a stand still.

Tomorrow I will be interviewed by the principal of the school I'm hoping to finally start my internship at. I think this is kind of weird because I was just let in last semester after that school found a teacher willing to let me work with her. Whatever.

My internship finally starts tomorrow. This is way different then last semester as I will be rotating between 3 classrooms under the supervision of 4 different teachers. Additionally, I will be helping to supervising recess --- something I did maybe 10 total times last semester.
Naturally I have a lot of things related to the internship class, which I literally cannot start until the internship began, due Monday night because my professor who was supposed to set this up for me a while ago didn't. Essentially, I will be spending a chunk of tomorrow just doing things related to this class.

I've been at the internship for 8 days now and it's been interesting.
I've definitely gained more patience, something I've sorely lacked.
It's kind of weird rotating between three classrooms.
I've also noticed that the special education students I've been working with are more affectionate then the group of third graders I worked with last semester.
Also, on my first day I saw a fight on the playground --- which was most unexpected.
I'm very much ahead in my other 2 classes.

Today I finally found where a bathroom is in the school - granted, not the staff one but I’ll use it if need be

I've been incredibly busy with my classes.
My professor for my internship class is still useless. A huge chunk of my grade my internship class is based on her supervising me in one of the three classrooms I'm rotating between. I emailed her 3 weeks ago to set a date and time and didn't receive a replay. I emailed her again last week and have not received a reply.
I am to mail her the hours I've been at the school last month. I had all my cooperating teachers sign the form with the hours filled in for each day I was there. No where has the teacher provided the specific labeling I am to use for mailing address for the college where her office is.
Today I got a certificate in the mail saying that I graduated my program last December. I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm learning towards emailing my advisor because I'm pretty sure this was a mistake.

several hours ago a student, who I've been working with, slapped my back kind of hard trying to surprise or scare me in the words of the student, I can't remember which
-- it's been bugging me ever since, hoping it'll feel better in the morning

I've been incredibly busy since I last updated this
one of my teachers decided to move the due dates for a few time consuming things up by a week or so 2 weeks back, because reasons
a few weeks ago I caught a cold from student, I've got all sorts of crud in my windpipe
yesterday was my last day at the internship
I also finished the last of my assignments yesterday
now while I wait for my final grades to be posted I hope to recover from this cold
afterwards I will email the principal where my internship was to thank him for the chance to be there and ask about a job because I could tell I was definately needed there

all classes done - check, all tuition payments made - check, pay a graduation processing fee because I had the audacity to want to get credit for prior learning - check , and now because I seem to have misplaced my cap and gown from my college graduation over a decade ago I need to buy another one
some aspects of college are bullshit- having to pay a fee because of my transfer credits is dumb

Last week in the mail I got a letter requesting my presence after the graduation ceremony at “the President’s Reception”
My colleges Board of Trustees, President and faculty will be there
Suffice to say this alters my post ceremony plans
I picked up my cap and gown today
Way too much for a one-time only thing to wear
