Update
So things are going pretty well. I'm teaching six classes this semester over three campuses. So I spend most of my week just driving around, which is exhausting. I have never understood why driving makes you so tired. But I am really lucky this semester because I only have one big class out of the six; the rest of them have fewer than 15 people. Last Spring, I had six classes and all of them had at least 25 people in them. So this semester is better, even with all the driving.
I am also taking two classes at Converse to work on my English graduate hours so I can teach the higher level English. The English class is Lit. Criticism. I like the professor but it requires a lot of work which I'm not sure I'm going to have time for. But, we will see how it goes. The other class I'm taking is an education class. It is pretty pointless and useless as many education classes have been to me. But, I had to take another class to get financial aid, and that was the only other class that fit my schedule. but, the professor seems pretty laid back and I have bonded with an art teacher who hates the class as much as I do so I least I have someone to share my grief with. The class is full of people who are already teaching (early childhood mostly) and all they do is complain about how stupid their students are and how uninvolved the parents are, and how much they parents hate them. Hmmmm here is an idea. They might not hate you if you don't call their kids stupid. I don't know. I just don't understand it. They are enrolled in the class to get their Masters in Education and all they talk about is how much they hate teaching. If you hate teaching, then why don't you get a Masters in something else? Anyway, I could rant about that all day so I will stop.
I went to see the Indigo Girls a few weeks ago. They were awesome! I had wanted to see them for years. But. yeah it was a good time.
I finnally applied for my passport! Yay! The lady at the post office told me that it would be about a month for it to come back. I was really shocked because everyone had told me that it would take 9 months to a year to come back. So that is why I was freaking out so much. We areen't even going until the end of June. But, at least it is out of the way now....
