I guess I have a job now
Several weeks ago, I accidentaly started back to work. I went in to substitute several times over the summer and was asked to help out in the premontessori room. (That's the two year old room.) Having only ever taught 3-6 year olds before I hax a lot to get used to. I really love it.

The psychology of waiting.
As many of you know, I love movies. I love anticipating movies. Waiting and waiting for them to come out. I have been known to count down the days. I vary my behavior greatly as to how much information I like to glean about a film before I go see it.
