Check-In 2

I think I’m feeling better than I was the first week. I am still rather anxious about what my mentor teachers will be expecting of me once I am in a classroom. I am also worried about the state of my mental health, as my bipolar disorder is on the upswing and I have been having issues filtering myself despite taking many precautions to avoid this. I am worried about how I will be able to react to students because of this. Even though I pride myself on my transparency, I am worried about how I will approach this issue in class.

I am also worried about the structure of this course. I am having difficulty following along in class and understanding assignments thoroughly. Much of our instruction seems vague and confusing at times and I find myself frequently asking my peers for help identifying tasks only to find that they are having trouble as well.
