Guess who's bAAAAaaaack!!!!
I don't know what my LJ deal has been. I do know it hasn't been posting, in about 3 months...
In those past three months, I have signed an official contract for my job. I am no longer on a one year contract. I can't believe I'll be going into my 3rd year of teaching! That's completely insane!! Our class sizes for next year were getting to be so large, that we're adding another section of 3rd grade. I'm going to be that person's "curriculum mentor" aka buddy, person who teaches them things, answers questions, helps them out. I find that to be quite funny because I've only been in 3rd grade 1 year, compared to two other people on my team who have a significant larger amount of experience. That just goes to show who does all the work on my team! ;) I sat in on some interviews today, and one candidate was phenomenal. It would be her first year, so maybe I'm rooting for her because I know she needs to start somewhere.
I am officially signed up for the rest of my grad school classes. The undergrad/grad program I was in before I started teaching led me to almost have my masters degree. The only thing I have left is a 2 credit class where we do a project, and a 2 credit elective class. I'm taking a Literacy for ESL students class, since our ESL population is so high. Plus I found out the professor of that class is one of the co-authors and researchers of the spelling program my school will be starting in the fall. I'm so excited to be done in December!!!
Brena bought a townhome, and is graciously letting me live with her again. She really just wants me to help her pay her mortgage! ;) I'll be moving into the basement. We'll start the whole moving process in the middle/end of July. If anyone is free the weekend of August 3rd, let me know and I'll count you in for some big moving!!!! Hey, I'd probably even buy you dinner!!! It's a really nice place. I'm excited to move out of an apartment building. I'll even get to have a garage spot, which made me so excited I almost pissed my pants. I've NEVER EVER lived in a house. While I was growing up I lived on the top floor of a duplex, then I lived in the dorms, and after that I've only lived in an apartment. Even though this isn't my house, it's somewhat a rite of passage for me. Like I'm finally an adult. It actually truly means a lot to me that Brena is letting me live with her. That's what best friends are for, right?
This summer I'm nannying and working at Lakeshore once again. I'm seriously sick of working. I just don't want to do it anymore. Other than that I'm looking to get a lot of school stuff done, make appointments, and get all kinds of other stuff squared away.
I hope my LJ family is doing well!!!! Missed ya!!!!
