.....

So I don't know if you've noticed but I haven't blogged since Friday. Sorry. Life got in the way.

I feel like I have a lot to tell you but I really have to go to bed.

My life sucks.

No one gets it.

I'm totally depressed.


I quit.

exciting news!!

forgot to blog yesterday :(

I got an email from my advisor last night that had a forwarded message from a high school principal in need of a long term english substitute teacher. She thought of my name first when he asked her for recommendations. It would be a minimum of 6 weeks, 30 minutes southwest of where I currently reside. I emailed him back and said that timing is crucial because I am moving 2.5 hours north on sunday to my hometown. I found someone that is willing to house me while I work there that lives in Edwardsville, so that is good. I just really want this to work out!!

I'll for sure keep you updated :)

Huh?

I don't feel like there's much to say. Subbed today. My kids missed me. I try not to think about it. I may not see them again.

Ice tonight. I couldn't get from the Y to my car. It sucked. Packing tomorrow til work 3-10. Fun, right?

Finally- a big girl job!

Ok, so I didn't actually get a teaching job yet, but my first day of substitute teaching is tomorrow! I will be teaching for my CT which means I'll have all the same classes I've had and the same students. It will be great to see them again! I was so giddy when they called me. I can't wait to see my kids again!

Another day another...day....

Today I packed. I packed a bunch of stuff and sorted through a bunch of stuff.

Oh yea. And I got my teaching certificate.

That's right ladies and gentleman, I am now an official teacher!!!! With no job...

I had to register my certificate online. ($50- thank you mom) and then run down to the ROE (regional office of education for those non-teachers out there) and get fingerprinted. After that, it was already 3:30. I drove to the district office only to find out they close at 4:30 and the human resource lady had left at noon since there was no school. (It was 4:10 by then- I took a detour to the wrong office) So I left all my junk there and hopefully everything turned out okay. I'm waiting for a call about subbing Wednesday (though I haven't heard from my CT even though I texted her today).

Tonight I went to Walmart and got some boxes so I can continue packing tomorrow. I'm hoping to get most of it done tomorrow so I only have the little things (toothbrush, contacts, etc) to pack on Sunday, as well as my furniture.

I guess that's it for now. I'll post pics of my new packing piles tomorrow :) Hopefully after I move I'll have more important things to blog about :)

oooo whatcha say.....

I feel like my blogs have kind of been fluff lately, but I'm not quite sure what to blog about. I never think I have anything exciting to say. Do you have this problem too?

I went to work today in the blizzard- it amazes me how people still come to the Y to work out when the roads are so bad. Apparently it's really important to them. Anyway, work was boring as usual.

After work I went to what I thought was going to be a presentation about this girl's time teaching in South Korea. Instead it turned out to be a jewelry party. Weird, right? My aunt told me to ask the girl questions about her trip but I didn't come prepared to ask questions- I thought she was just going to give us information. Also, I loved a lot of the jewelry (made in Uganda) but I have no money so I couldn't even buy anything. Lamesauce.

My work meeting was canceled because of the snow so instead I came home and starting cleaning and packing. I did 2 loads of laundry, 2 loads of dishes in the dishwasher, shoveled, took the trash out, cleaned out 3 bags of trash from my room, cleared out my stuff from the attic, started sorting things to keep and throw away, and started bring stuff downstairs. This is what I've gotten downstairs so far:

It may not seem like a lot- but it is. Most of it is kitchen stuff for now. My goal for tomorrow is to get my clothes packed, the rest of my stuff from my desk, and start packing my bookshelves after I get boxes from walmart. I really feel like I'm doing a great job of packing- not trying to sound conceited.

So tomorrow I'm working on that and also heading to turn in my paperwork to substitute teach which should be fun. Time for bed so I can get up and be productive.

babysitting

Tonight is my last time babysitting one of my favorite families. I'm so excited to see them again because I haven't seen them all semester, but I'm super sad to leave them.
