Well, again, not much happening at the moment, but I thought I should post something! I am currently off track for one more week...no, I did not go anywhere this time, so it has kind of been weird. I am pretty sure I am annoying my mother being around all of the time, but on the other hand, I run a LOT of errands for her while she is working away!!!
Regardless, it has been nice just not doing ANYTHING!!! The only thing that I had to do was take a test called the PRAXIS. It is one of the hoops I have to jump through to be a teacher. I have to pass this test within the first 3 years of teaching, so I am hoping I passed! Otherwise I have been sleeping in, reading, running errands, and I started a quilt that I have had the fabric for since my birthday in August. It is VERY cute material and I have it to where I can start sewing it together. As soon as I do that, I will post pictures!
I have also been thinking about going back to school to get a Master's Degree. I wasn't really planning on doing it so soon, but I want to get it done so that I don't forget how to be a student myself!!! I also want more job options as well. I want to be "specialized" in something so I am not doing the same thing my whole life. I was thinking about special education, but now I am thinking more about reading and literacy. I love reading and always have, so I think I would just love to learn more about helping kids to read, especially the struggling ones. I have been researching schools all around the country and have found a few that offer that type of degree online, but all of them are so EXPENSIVE!! So, I am kind of scared to start anything because it is a big commitment to spend that much money. If you know me, I am definitely not a big spender of money and I am not in debt right now, so that is why it is so scary! However, I think it would be worth it in the end! I will have to keep you posted on how all of that turns out.
Anyway, in the meantime, I am just waiting to hear if I am staying where I am at or not for next year. I am pretty sure I have a job, I just don't know what or where yet. My principal said that as of right now, I am in the same grade and on the same track for next year, but they are doing a lot of administrative cuts in the District so that may or may not trickle down to affect me, because some of the administration may go back to being teachers. Ya, lovely, I know. I wish they would just hurry up and make a decision already so I can make plans for sure next year!!! It is pretty stressful at my work because of all of this, so I am glad to not be there at the moment.
Well, 8 weeks and counting starting next week for me and this class I have...yes, I am quite ready to finish this year and pass them along...sad I know, but I can't hide my stress of trying to manage this group anymore!!! They are crazy, but I guess that is better than no personality at all and I have learned quite a lot! :0

Thanks for running my errands! XOXO it's been fun having you around!
Wow. I am surprised you stayed at home. LOL. I understand what you mean. It's bittersweet to pass your kiddies along, but at the same time it's kind of nice to start fresh and new as well. Loveage.
