It's getting close

As many of you know, but don't care, I'm getting close to graduating.

This last semester, I've been student teaching.

It's been the single hardest thing I've done in my whole life.

It seems as if every single day I do more things wrong than the day before. I honestly don't know if I wasn't correctly trained to do this, or if it has to do with the fact that I'm a secondary major and middle school falls under both, or if I just suck.

I've heard all sorts of things, but what it boils down to is that I don't think I'll be a very good teacher. :(

I guess it's a good thing that I'm starting my masters.

"Yes, we can" to "We just did!"

We. Just. Did.

Wow. We did it. We rock. But I can't help but be a little puzzled.
I was on facebook this lovely evening and these are some of the stati that I'm seeing:
"Obama as President = end of "Freedom" as we know it......God help us all! McCain/Palin 4 life!" From a 16/17 year old that didn't vote, mind you.

"yay socialism and state-paid abortions!!" <-- From a guy, who clearly believes he can tell women what to do with their bodies.

"OBAMA WON?! Damn and i thought i was going to be able to keep the money i earn! STILL REPPIN REPUBLICANNNNN!" <--From a 16/17 year old that didn't vote, mind you.

"deeply scared for my country."

"how long till obama is assassinated?....any guesses?" <-- From a guy who was refered to a 'Nutz' all throughout high school until he was thrown out for sexually harassing a teacher. Winner.

" moving to canada." <-- 15 year old.

"why does everyone has to change their damn status for the election? who gives two shits about politics? grow up people its not the end of the world." <-- This is upsetting mainly because it's a boy I've known for a long time (in my sister's grade). He's 17 years old and he thinks that the election's not a big deal?

"It's going to be a looong 4 years, is it 2012 yet?" <-- 15 year old.

"fucking A im moving to canada." <---13 year old.

Okay, so my main issue is that A) most of these people can't vote, and B) Are clearly uneducated. I'm very sad to say that the girl I was most looking forward to quoting for saying "We elected a baby-killer!" unfortunatley deleted her status. Hopefully someone slapped some sense into her.

Back to my point. I'm not saying that I believe that if you're not old enough to vote your opinion doesn't matter, but I'm not sure it's worth getting THAT bent out of shape about. Especially the younger ones. I'm sorry, but until you're a bit older, you usually believe what your parents do, so who are you really supporting? The candidate you wanted, or the one your parents voted for, regardless of why?

My second point is that it's obvious to me that people who write stuff like the fact that Obama's a baby-killer or wonder how long before an assasination attempt are clearly misinformed. Okay, maybe there's a number of people who would like to see Obama taken out simply because he's not white. What is the deal? It's so rediculous that it's recockulous. Now on to the people who are concerned with the 'baby killer' side of Obama. Here's my message to you: "Change your tampon, take some midol and read some facts." What would be better, may I ask you? Some guy saying that he doesn't have the right to demand that women lose the rights to their own bodies or some crazed pit bull with lipstick who wouldn't let the pregnant victim of incest choose abortion? Why on earth is this even a political topic? *Grrr. Snorts* Okay, I'm done.

For my last message: To all of those who said that they're 'moving to Canada,' they better take all their stuff, cause I'll break in and steal what I like.

I didn't leave in the last 8 years (even though I tried for a few weeks), and I made it through just fine, so stop your whining and embrace the change.
