I can't believe this all went by so fast... today was my last day of student teaching... ever. I got cards for all my cooperating teachers and a St. Louis cup for the teacher that I worked with the most. The maths department also got me a card and a big box of chocolates. I'm going to miss the staff, they really are wonderful people. I also had a lot of fun teaching my last lesson. I have been doing logic puzzles with my first year students all week and it's great to see the students surprise you - some of the students who aren't strong at maths were great at the logic problems. Even though the students were very talkative here, I am going to miss them. They really taught me a lot about teaching and about myself. Even though it was hard being away from my family, friends, and boyfriend for this long, I don't regret it one bit. This has been an absolutely wonderful experience and I really think it helped me grow as a teacher and as a person.
Alright, so the rest of my day... I went to the police station to report my camera missing. Hopefully they will find it and it will get mailed to the US. If not, I will just buy a new one... worse things have happened. After the police station I went to The Edinburgh Dungeon. Actors led us through underground Edinburgh telling us the deep dark secrets of the city, but they did it in a fun and scary way. There were also 2 short rides. I had a lot of fun there. These Dungeons are in several European cities, so if you're near one I would recommend checking it out. The price was a bit steep, but discounts are very easy to find (online, on a Lothian bus ticket). Then I went to a pub and had a drink and now I'm going to spend the rest of my night relaxing and packing... zoo tomorrow!
