Long Weekend! Excitement!
Wow, I never update now that I have an actual career going on. Must be that whole getting home and turning into a pumpkin at 10:00 thing. It's very sad, I can't even stay up for Jon Stewart anymore! I have no life! But I do like my job. I have sixteen adorable four year olds in my class, they keep me on my toes for sure! They are good kids for the most part though. We are having lots of fun learning about "weather" and "the seasons" and "fall" at the moment. We get to play around with fun fall crafts and other educational projects -though of course, they don't care about that - playground half-hour is their favorite time of day! I would have to say that naptime is my favorite time of day. *grin* No just kidding.
So the job is going well, busy, but good. Lesson planning on the weekends is not really fun, but what can you do. In pre-k you do not get any such thing as built-in planning time, due to the fact that your kids don't go to Art or Music or any of those specials, which is when all the other grades plan. I have been told by my resource teacher that I might eventually get such a magical thing as a "planning sub" to come and cover for me so I can actually plan for an hour or two during the week but I am not holding my breath. Budget shortfalls and all that good stuff.
The new apartment is very exciting! It is pretty much all unpacked now even. Only took about a month and a half! Liz and I have skills, don't we. We had our housewarming last weekend, which was a great party, (maybe a little to great for some people) but overall a lot of fun. Ms. Liz is off in Ireland now, lucky wench, along with half her extended family. So I am lazing around on my long weekend ALONE. ABANDONED. SO SAD. NOTHING TO DO BUT PAY BILLS. *weeps*
Drama done. Going to catch a movie with a friend later. Hugs, everyone!
