precious downtime.
i finally got a job :D. i'll be teaching spanish II and spanish for spanish speakers I at a middle school. i am excited, and nervous. most notably, i am nervous about the SFSS class, because they will know what the hell they're talking about, and i will not. however, if i successfully teach this class, i will be damn near fluent by the time i graduate. hopefully, being petrified of not knowing any more than my students do doesn't eat up all of my time, because wow, i will have way too much to do as it is.
joe and kim are excited that i'm moving in. i'll be sleeping on a futon, but i have my own bathroom, and the house has wireless internet. the only downside is that i will once again be sans closet, and now sans dresser as well. i'm hoping i'm as creative as i give myself credit for and i can figure out a way to store everything without taking up too much of my precious floor space. the rest of my things will be stored at my aunt and uncle's place in VA.
i've been working a LOT lately. it's nice to keep busy, and even better to be making money, but i haven't even started packing. i want very much to think it's going to be easy, start, realize i'm wrong, get overwhelmed and whine at brian about how he has a job and won't be my slave the way i've been his in all of my free time (which, admittedly, is almost no time at all, because that's how much i've had to spare). i then wish to get over it, do the whole thing (to both locations) in three car rides or less, and start unpacking at joe's. i will then have about ten seconds to relax before i go away to new york for the weekend (yay family reunion), and then hopefully i have off from mad science and can prepare for orientation and figure out how/where to buy my textbooks and get geared up (read: terrified) for this year. and then i'll probably realize that my business-casual wardrobe is still quite laughable without the aid of sam and ellie's closets, and will spend all of this semester's grocery money attempting to look older than my students. hm.
what surprises me most is just how tired i've been lately. i'm used to working long days, and i spend lots of time in a car, so why am i so blah? also, i'm worried. i need to be moved out a good four days before i stop working, and any time off i have in between will probably either be spent cleaning, hanging out with the girls or with brian, or attempting to get some sleep. i'm going to have to pack after work. i think i'm going to be very, very addicted to caffiene by the time i'm safely in alexandria. damn.
i think it's frozen yoghurt and girl tv time before i start packing. lurve.
