My day is 7:30-3, my cooperating teacher is awesome, and I only have to teach three 90 minute blocks! And I get a 90 minute preparation block. I don't see how it can get any better than this for me.

Yes, because I am glad that my student teaching is easier for me while I still need to have a job for money, still do a bunch of course work for my classroom management class, keep up with entirely too elaborate lesson plans to appease my professor, as well as be properly prepared for teaching classes that I will only be teaching for half a year and then never again means that I don't actually want to be a teacher.
How very insightful of you.
I do want to be a teacher, and I'm excited for student teaching in general, but I'm also very happy that it's going to (seemingly) be an easier workload on me. In general, all teachers get roughly 90 minutes total of preparation, but mine are condensed into one entire block. And I'm still going to be teaching as much as the next teacher, but mine are condensed into three 90 minute blocks, which means less lesson plans, less names to remember, and more freedom to do my lessons since I have much more time to plan them.

Hey, I'll take a 7:30 start time over the potential 6:30 I could've had in various other schools around here! I live roughly ten minutes away from this school too, so I luck out.
And I'm going to be teaching 11th grade English from the looks of it. My cooperating teacher is listed for 11th grade, but she doesn't have her entire schedule yet. If I'm lucky, I may get two or all of the courses as the same, meaning less work for me.

I'm at California University of Pennsylvania. It's a college that is basically known for their teaching program. If it wasn't that, I probably wouldn't have gone there. It's getting pretty bad in that area now.

The town is California, Pennsylvania. It's basically a small college town with little else going for it. It has some pretty high enrollment for the size though, and they're constantly trying to make it bigger. To separate it from the various other California-named colleges, they call it California University of Pennsylvania. Everyone normally just calls it Cal U here, but since you guys would probably have no idea what college that is, I just said the full name.

Well, I work at Home Depot. And considering it took me two months to get my job back, and I'd like to keep it until I get a teaching job (which can't happen until the fall after this one), I'm kind of stuck working there unless I want to brave their crappy rehiring process again.
I'm only working Friday nights, Saturdays, and Sundays though. I refused to work on the weekdays in case I'd need to do a lot of things during the night in preparation for classes. I don't think it will be that bad though-- especially now since it looks like I'm going to have plenty of time to plan stuff and I have a block schedule of which I may be teaching the same courses.
