I just love being told the same things overrrrrr, and overrrrrrrrr, and over again.
Thanks iPad for always liking random people’s posts on fb when I’m really just trying to scroll down! I hate that…
I’m officially a teacher. 3rd grade. Beyond excited! First day of school is Aug. 13th!
There has been a lot of confusion about an SEI endorsement that the state of AZ requires all teachers to have, and whether or not I have it or not. My content emphasis (aka my ‘minor’) is multicultural diversity, and I thought that I already was SEI certified through that. However, the HR people in all the districts I’m dealing with keep telling me I need to take SEI classes over the summer. I finally got fed up enough to get ahold of my adviser from NAU, and she says “YEAH YOU ARE SEI ENDORSED! DUHH! HAHAHA…” Thanks, Connie. I can now breathe knowing that I’m on track. Now all I need to take care of is deciding on which job/school I want!
Yesterday was my last day student teaching. I cried pretty much all day because I was so upset to leave. I also cried because the new principal pretty much told me I won’t have a job next year, even though I’ve been told all semester I was ‘in’…
So I am moving on to another district I think. I have 5 interviews lined up in this district, 2 of which are today. 4 of the 5 I can work at because of Rodel. They are higher paying than my student teaching district, which comes with more pressure on the teachers. I think I’ll handle it. If not, I can change districts my second year. I feel so overwhelmed and excited at the same time. I am so scared because it is a new district to me, but from my online research, they seem pretty good. I know it’s in God’s hands and it will all work out.
I am almost a full grown up. SCARY!!!
I feel like I’m getting teaching jobs thrown my way, and don’t get me wrong because I feel super lucky, but I’m starting to freak out a bit! I feel like having my own classroom will never happen, and now that it is within my grasp, it still doesn’t feel real! I just want to end up at the right place!!!!!! Eeehhhh!!
Something must be wrong with my boyfriend. Yesterday he bought me a doughnut before I woke up at 6am so I would have ‘breakfast’… Today when I woke up he had pancakes ready for me. Right now he walks up and gives me a hug and says I’m the best ever. Two weird things: one, he hates sweets and is a health nut, so why am I getting sugar for breakfast? Two, he’s hard to get a hug from on a usual day.
Summer must be here…
This is my “what a waste of a day” face. I was puking last night and today was supposed to be my final observation and interview with principal, buuuut since I was sick, my mentor said not to come in. So I stayed in bed all day, which isn’t as great as it sounds. I feel much better now, and I really wish I didn’t miss today. Thanks crappy immune system.
