I am absolutely exhausted! The two schools thing isn't what's stressing me out, it's the fact that both schools don't know what students I will have.  They don't even know what I will be teaching or what grades.  That's a little stressful, ya think?  Anyway, other than that I think I'll like it.  It's going to be so different for me to have ( Read more... )

I spent my first day at Kullerstrand Elementary.  Special ed and ESL (english as a second language) share a temp.  Not bad, right? not when there's 3 special ed teachers in one half and ESL in the other half.  I was given the choice, I could be on the special ed side and shared 1/4 of the room with 3 teachers (one has half of the room, i think the ( Read more... )

Today started out as just a really bad day.  I realized that I needed less than $1.00 more to be able to pay for my car insurance, the other bill will just have to wait.  I got a new credit card to transfer my other one onto with lower interest,  and I was about to find out what bills I can pay with credit cards.  But,. before I started that I ( Read more... )

Steve and I went camping this weekend.  It was a lot of fun, however I wish we would have gone for longer, it was a nice escape from reality.   I also wish someone could have been there with a video camera.  Now, I've set up my dad's tent by myself many times, and I can get that up in minutes (his tent is one of those old complicated ones with the ( Read more... )

The job hunting still goes slowly. I called 4 places back today to see if they got my application. I got a hold of three, and all three said that they got the application and were sorry that they couldn't give me an interview, but they were looking for people with more experience (one even said more experience with jeffCo. curriculum). I hate this ( Read more... )

I didn't get the job at Sheriden Green, they wanted someone with more experience. I hate this! How am I supposed to get experience if no one will hire someone without experience. I'm so frustrated. There's hardly any openings left in the district that I'm qualified for, and they probably want someone with experience. And on top of all of this ( Read more... )

I'm sure in a week I'll say how much I miss my truck, but I got a new car. The poor truck was on its last let and my dad and I decided that I'm only going to keep putting more money in it and I won't get anuything out of it. So we went car shopping today. I got a 2005 chevi malibu classic. It's purdy! It's a gray/metallic color. It's really ( Read more... )

Too much has been going on lately. I interviwed at Miller a few weeks ago and didn't get the position. I knew that going into it I had a slim chance. The guy who got it just finished up his masters in special ed. He's been a teacher for 15 years, but took a couple years off to get his masters, he worked as a paraprofessional at miller for those ( Read more... )

For a while I was really good about posting, but lately this has been the last thing on my mind. I've just been too busy. I was getting to the point that everything would set me off and I was so stressed I couldn't function. Then I had a day off. Yes, you heard me right. I had a WHOLE day where I could do NOTHING!!! I ended up doing stuff, but ( Read more... )

My icon descdibes me well.  I feel like I'm running in circles until I just fall down!  Student teaching is going well, I've subbed twice, and the kids seem to act well for me.  The kids that I see every day, at least!  I'm getting sick now, actually I feel a lot better today than yesterday and the day before.  I called into work yesterday, and the ( Read more... )
