I'm making scones for dinner, and then I'm gonna fire up the sauna and have myself a little spa night.

Just 'cuz.

(also I already have a job lined up for this fall! I'm going to take over a third grade class while the regular teacher is on maternity leave)

Scones sound lovely! I didn't know you are a teacher. As my dad says, teachers are the best of us. :D :D :D

Weeeell, I'm not technically a teacher. I just work as one. :P I dropped out of the teacher's education programme several years ago. At the time I felt really disillusioned with both the uni courses I had to take as well as with the on-the-job training I received (also, I was set on becoming a Swedish/English teacher for High School students, and now I'm working with children).

This spring I was signed up as a substitute teacher though (because, money), and I ended up lucking out and getting a 6 week long gig in a class where I got along really well with both the kids and the teacher I worked alongside. She actually recommended me for this job.

The way I see it, this will be a great opportunity to decide if I should go back and finish my degree or not, or if I should give it up entirely. Plus, I'll get a regular salary, and at least one colleague I get along well with.
