Birthday/Impostor Teacher

So for my birthday Johno took me to a fancy resort and we swam and watched movies and played tennis and did everything that I love. It was ridiculous amounts of fun. It was gone before you I knew it! Happy 26 to me! I have the best husband ever!

So I started teaching at Mesa Community College this week. I feel like a total impostor! I walked in on the first day and I saw the first years and second years sitting on the opposite sides of a big clinic waiting room. I walked over to the second years since thats who I will be teaching. One of them turned to me and said, um....are you a first year because if you are you should be over there and you arent wearing the right color of scrubs. I just looked at her and said no...i am not a first year. She looked back at me for a second really confused and said, well we are dental hygiene students. I said oh.... Then she said, are you supposed to be in here? I said....yeah i think so. I am your new teacher. Then she looked me straight in the face and said, what? how old are you? are you sure? I said 26 and yes.

Since then we have just done clinic procedure stuff. They arent allowed to call me Alysson. They have to call me Mrs. Hunt which is weird since most of them are either older than me or we are the same age. Weird. Sometimes I dont answer though. I am still getting used to this Mrs. Hunt thing. I am not Mrs. Hunt....I guess I am but I still dont answer right away when called that. I have to think about it. I think they think I am bogus. Its hilarious. Tonight we reviewed piezo's. When I was telling them how to use it I think they were shocked that it wasnt a big practicle joke but that I actually am their teacher. Most of the time I feel confused because I still feel like i should be in school. the other teachers dont really mix with the students. The teachers go over and stand behind a desk when there is any down time. i feel weird with them so I just stay with the students. i guess that further perpetuates my impostor teacher status. Oh well. The other teachers arent as fun as the students.
