I got the job at International Academy of Flint. I'm so excited, its so surreal. I don't even know what to do online right now because I'm so accustomed to job searching all-the-time. So, now I guess I'm going to be getting my classroom and such ready. It's all happening very quickly, but I'm very thankful. I'm in a 3rd grade position as a math/science teacher. I'm ready to get into my classroom right now! My first day of training for new teachers is this Friday. After that I'm apartment hunting with Ben in the Grand Blanc area. Its alot of good changes very quickly. Besides the whole quitting kmart thing. I cannot believe that I feel so guilty. They scheduled me all this time next week that I may or may not be able to work now. Also, they just had one of the service desk people quit and now I'm quitting and another girl is going back to school in the fall so her hours will be cut significantly, so pretty much they're fucked because they don't train enough people to work the desk. I have no problem training someone but I'm not sure who they're going to train up there. So I feel guilty. But at the same time I'm happy to never really HAVE to work there again. It makes working there (now that its just a temporary basis) that much more bareable.
I'm excited and nervous about the unknown. IAF is different from other schools, its very strict, structured, and rigid. A little differently then I teach but I think I can adapt and do well there. Andrea also got a job there, so it'll be interesting to have another 1st year teacher that I'm close to experiencing it all wth me. She'll be a great sounding board and ally.
I'm excited about moving out with Ben. My mom is working her hardest to put all sorts of doubts in my head about it, besides her trying to get me to buy a house instead. Like I'm at that point in my life. The money won't be an issue, I'll be making more in a year than my mother does. I think mom thinks I haven't really thought about my budget or something, but Ben and I have talked about it at length. We're not just rushing in like "Wahoo, let's move in!" We've actually thought about it and planned, she's not going to sway my decision. Beside, I want to move out and have it out of the way preferably before the school year starts to get everything in order. It's going to be a very busy time coming up. We're planning on getting a 2 bedroom so if anyone wants to visit I'll have lots of extra space!
That's pretty much what is going on in my life in the past 2 days. Very different from Monday when I was a jobless, living at home, pathetic lump.
