a word from Ocala
Word.
I just wanted to say hello. I've been in Ocala for like 3 weeks now.
I started work officially on Friday. Bunch of meetings last week. This week, more, but we are at the middle school from 8-4 everyday. It's awesome. I've been getting to spend a lot of time in my classroom so I am busy busy busy like a good little teacher, setting up my room and writing lesson plans and welcome notes and establishing rules and whatnot. The kids get there Monday, and I completely cannot wait.
I really like where my life is going right now. I really needed a change and I really needed purpose. Just so tired of working meaningless jobs for hardly anything. I'm glad that I am spending my time getting prepared for 8 or so emotionally handicapped kids to come learn with me. I think they'll like me. Why shouldn't they, right? I'm fun. I'm cool.
I know what it is to be in Middle School.
Seriously I am not afraid to get to the front of that classroom and just act like a fool. I have no shame. It's cool. I want the kids to enjoy me. I certainly cannot be disliked if I am going to have the same kids all day. THe teachers I remember are the ones that acted like fools. I hope they like me.
Anyway they should. But I'm really liking everything thus far. My house is sweet, 3 bedrooms and 1/3 acre fenced in yard for Abbey to run and play in. Everyone at work is really amazingly helpful and generous and patient and cool. I feel very welcome and very supported.
I do miss my friends though.
It's sad to be lonely.
I'll just buy happiness with my phat paycheck I get next week.
XOXOXOOK
