If you want to know how busy Gabrielle is, just check the dates of her posts in this blog.

It’s been a week now that I had a little bit of time to write here. I do not have more time than usual, but my day is not the usual internship Friday I’m used to have. I spent the morning in school and we have a meeting at university in an hour - so I’m waiting for my endless posts to be printed.

Today is the last day of our internship - but I’m spending one more week there because I need to make up some time. Today was my supervisor’s visit from university. He came to evaluate me teaching. This could have been a stressful time, but since I knew the type of person my supervisor is and the fact that I was so busy last night, I just did not worry at all and never felt nervous about him evaluating me this morning.

Today was the most encouraging day of my internship so far. My cooperating teacher has been good at setting high standards for me and guiding me, but she seldom had good comments about anything I did and always made me feel inadequate. My university supervisor spent a 45-minute class watching me and he almost only had praises for me. It was good to hear encouragement. I know that he doesn’t have the knowledge my cooperating teacher has of me, but my supervisor at least knows what the university expects from me at this time. Anyways, it was good to be encouraged and to be told not to mind my cooperating teacher’s perfectionism too much, that I was doing a good job.

Please pray for this last week, I have still a lot of planning to do.
