It’s happening. Again. I got a job. (A real one.) (Slightly more real than subbing every day.) I. Will. Be. Teaching 10th grade English at my Kids’ high school. [1] I am eager. I am excited. I am unlicensed. Um. Yeah. So Utah has this program where I can earn my license while I teach....

Category Archives: school I did it, guys. I survived January. And not only survived, but I had fun inside that madhouse of a month. And I finished the long-term substitute teaching business. It was nearly every day of 2 months, and some kids were growing tired of me, and to a lesser extent, I of (a few of)... So I’m rounding out my 6th week of “long-term” subbing, and it looks like I’m not through yet. Kid 1 said, “I’m kind of tired of you, Mom.” She said it with a whole lot of love. That’s kind of hard to translate to blogtalk. Trust me. It was a lot of love. [Tangent: A...  We went back to school today. Does that seem a little… sudden to anyone else? Yeah. Me, too.

And teach Shakespeare (along with other poetry, which can be amazing or terrifying, you... **UPDATED TO GIVE BETTER MEASUREMENTS** (We tried it like the teacher gave it to us, and we all had a sugar/vanilla buzz. Go easier on sugar and vanilla (like it says in the new and improved directions below), and we’ll all be happy.) Today I’m teaching science — all week, actually. And today, we’re... Today is the last day to enter to win TELL ME WHO I AM. So get on over and enter, if you haven’t. Because WINNING IS FUN. Remember that? Also, New York. I am going. (Coming?) Soon. In a week I will be there. And I am excited more than I am nervous. Remember how I... |
