Goals for this Semester

Goal 1: Pass all of my classes with A's
Goal 2: Become an even better teacher.

So, I begin this semester with reservations.  I really would rather not get kicked out of a classroom again, but like last semester, I have no say.  I have dress clothes that are so uncomfortable for me that I want to rip them off when I wear them, so that ideally should not get me kicked out of the classroom again.  But, if the teacher and/or school district does not want me in that particular classroom, then BAMB, I'm kicked out without any say at all.

I feel that I begin this semester with absolutely no sense of internal locus of control, which means I have no belief that I can stay in this classroom because I choose to.  I have the belief that if the school district or teacher wants me out, I'm out, I have no say in the matter, I'm just a fresh free body of meat to help the teacher grade papers.

The classes have me a little bit worried, because I don't really know what to expect from them, information-wise.  I expect that it will be a good experience educationally this semester, and I hope that I can get all A's that way I can apply for the TEACH grant, which requires a 3.25 GPA and I don't have that high of GPA anymore.
