Practicum and a Play

Ok, here's a nice treat: blog #2 of the day!

In the morning, I woke up and went to practicum with Stephenie. My kids were doing drama again today because they have their performance of The Tempest tomorrow. I was really, really impressed with some of the acting I saw. Unfortunately, I was unimpressed by the behavior of both 5th year classes. Their teachers and teaching assistants were so angry at them. Needless to say, there was lots of yelling, tensions, and bad behaviors today. Not the best of days, though I got to see a dress rehearsal and I was quite happy. I got to help with some costuming and props, which was fun. The highlight of my day, though, was when a girl in my class gave me a hand-made invitation to come see the show. She also left a little drawing for me of me as a blonde girl with an "I Love USA" t-shirt and bag that said "Thanks for helping year 5 with our show!" It was adorable and it made me smile.

After practicum, we didn't have seminar so I came back to the flat. I cooked spaghetti with meat sauce for dinner and then headed to a play called Mrs. Affleck. I can't say I loved the play. It got kind of long at the end and I didn't quite like all of the actors. On a whole, it was very ok. I did like the sets, though.

All in all, a very ok day. I'm still tired from Ireland this weekend, so I hope to catch up on sleep soon. I hope all is well with everyone back home!
