| We had some type of spirit week or support the teachers week in March before the Teacher Walkout of April 2018 |
In the chaos of Christmas break last year (the longest I had ever been off work since I started a full time job...I was LOST) I did NOT schedule the three tests I had to take in order to continue to work on my alternative certification to teach. So I scheduled them all over spring break: two on Monday and one on Wednesday.
Spring break came and I endeavored to pass these tests without studying (because who has time...I really should be nicer to my students about not studying....) Well, what I thought couldn't be too bad was...they got progressively worse as the week passed.
The OGET (Oklahoma General Education Test) wasn't too bad, I felt pretty confident.
Next up was the Speech, Drama, Debate test, which I thought I had in the bag...um...well I had two out of three going for me...speech was much trickier than expected.
Last up I had to take the secondary education social studies test. Now friends, this is the history test, which is what my degree is in, piece of cake? Wrong! I have not picked up a history book in fourteen years since I finished my Bachelor's and you know what? THERE IS A LOT OF HISTORY! Like this test was EVERYTHING. I didn't study for it, but walking out of there KNOWING I bombed it I wondered how on earth you were supposed to...I mean it had EVERYTHING.
So I drowned my sorrows in Mexican food with two close friends and prayed for the best.
There were also a few fun tournaments during March and a particularly entertaining jaunt around the OU campus with some fantastic kiddos.
