2 weeks down… how many to go?

By curiousillusion ( September 4, 2009 at 9:17 pm) · Filed under personal, work, , ,

I kid, I kid.  I’m really not counting down to the end of school… yet. This week has just felt tiring – we’re still working on rules and procedures in the classroom, and it’s going pretty well for the most part.. but there are a few kids that are exhausting me already.  I need to find my patience, it’s in there somewhere.  I think I’ll be happy in October, by then the kids should have the hang of me and the routines.

In related news… I finally signed my contract today!  Shocking because I’ve been working here for nearly a full month and they haven’t said anything, but finally I mentioned it to the principal… and then mentioned it again and today, I got it.  Even though my contract (like most contracts I’ve had in this profession) is an at-will contract and can be ended at any time, it still makes me feel a little bit better about job security.

Meanwhile, 3 day weekend!  I actually have plans with some people for not just one, but TWO days this weekend and I’m kinda excited.  I’m also not holding my breath because plans tend to fall through.  I’m nervous about the teacher thing that’s supposed to happen Monday, I mentioned it a few days ago – if I had someone to go to this event with, it’d be one thing… but I feel silly just showing up when I don’t feel completely comfortable with these people (or rather, they don’t feel comfortable with me).  But I know, I know… I’ll go and try to win them over with my charm.  I hope.

In other news, the coolest person ever, Heather, is also the sweetest person in the whole wide world.  She, somehow having psychic powers and knowing that my funds are low and I was going to have to cut out Starbucks soon – the one thing in the world I seem to NEED lately – sent me a Starbucks card out of the blue.  It totally made my entire month, I’m so thrilled!  Thank you thank you thank you Heather!

    I'm curious as to how your school is handling the President's speech on Tuesday. Much flap about the issue!
  • I know, I had a parent asking me about that yesterday. But my school hasn't mentioned anything about it and as far as I know, we're not doing anything about it.

    So, does each teacher decide on whether or not to participate? Or your school just isn't doing it?

    I'm curious because of your location. We had a school up in an affluent area where the parents really squawked and they cancelled it. Silliness.

    Enjoy the looooong weekend!!
  • To be honest, I have no idea. We haven't been told a thing about it and we haven't received any instructions about it. I am curious to see how many kids are absent on Tuesday tho.
