Well...
As I had stated in earlier posts, I was a victim of the RIF process but got GREAT news yesterday...I am back! I just got my schedule for next year. I am going from teaching only one prep to now three! I thought I would be overwhelmed but I am actually excited. I must admit teaching the same thing three times per day can be repetitive at the least. I felt my 5th period kids were getting worn out Ms. Carnley and that is not fun for either of us.
My most exciting news is that I will now have a CLASSROOM! Don't get me wrong, I like being a floater. You have an "office", you can hide from wandering students ;) and teachers, and you have no mess to clean up at the end of the year. But I must say I do miss the decorating, the hominess associated with Ms. Carnley's classroom. I may enlist some helpers in the way of decor though.
One day left before I leave for Arizona! I was more nervous...leaving my baby chihuahua and love, leaving my boyfriend, etc. for two weeks...the longest time apart for me since...forever...but now I am anxious in a good way. There is something to be said for travelling alone. You get a kind of power, independence, and I don't know...thrill from it. I did spend time in Paris alone so If I can do that for 8 weeks surely I can do this for 2 weeks. I hope to meet a lot of new people. I have travelled all around this globe and yet have never travelled west of Alabama in my very own country.
This is probably my last post before leaving. Next time, from Arizona's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism:)!
