Yesterday, Saturday I had signed up to take 1 of the 3 tests I'm taking to get licensed in Elementary Education in Arizona. I got a babysitter, cleaned the house with Bobby's help, made lunch, and finally got to bed around 9:30p.m. and couldn't sleep. The test was at 8:00a.m. and I had to drive an hour to get there. I figured I needed to be up at 5:30a.m. at the latest. Everyone was asleep, so I go to bed. Kamry kept waking up, I tried my best to keep her sleeping by feeding her when she'd wake up. I realized that her diaper felt really full at one of the feedings, so I decided to change her diaper (it was 2:55a.m. at this point). Of course, she woke up and decided she wasn't going to bed. Bobby got up because he had to get ready for work. After trying to get Kamry to lay down for 30 min. I resigned myself to getting up and hoped that I could nap while she played on the floor; no such luck. I did make myself eggs for breakfast, since I was up early. Kamry started fussing as we went to get the babysitter, fell asleep in the car and stayed asleep after getting home. I am worrying about how I'm suppose to stay awake during a 4 hour test when I didn't get any sleep; not a recipe for success. Somehow I made it through the test in 3.5 hours and I think I did well. I just hope that I didn't spend all that money and fail because I didn't get enough sleep.
I've been having problems getting my practicum started, I am the only one without a placement and I found out yesterday that I may not be able to student teach in Casa Grande school district. Needless to say I'm just frustrated and wondering if I should quit and figure something else out for work; not that I have any ideas where I'll be able to find work. I did apply for a part-time teaching position and hope that somehow I will be given the job; eventhough I'm not licensed as an Elementary Teacher.
