Summer Updates...
For some reason the summer is flying by! Everyone just assumes since I'm a teacher that my summer is all sorts of laid back and leisurely, but unfortunately I've been so damn busy I've barely had a moment to stop and catch my breath!
I'm taking two classes this summer, and in one more month will be officially half way done my master's! Can't wait till I can say I'm totally done, but that'll be soon enough.
House hunting is going alright, though it is a dissappointing process. I put in an offer on a place last Wednesday and in my head had already redecorated and moved in. Unfortunately though, some guy offered them more money and got it instead! No fair. But I'm thinking 3rd times the charm right? So maybe the next place I'm interested in will actually become mine.
Yesterday I got very dissapointing news from the stomache doctor and have to get another procedure done in August. As the doctor was writing up the prescription to get the preliminary bloodwork done I realized that I've actually become a "regular" at the blood lab. Sad, huh? That usually doesn't happen till you're at least retired. So now I'm on this self imposed anorexia diet because I figure if there's nothing in my stomache/intestines, then nothing can go wrong, right? And then I won't have to go the doctor anymore. Yeah I know, good plan.
On Saturday night I met my future husband at a bar. Hopefully he's aware of this fate and actually calls me next weekend like he said he would. My friends are already claiming that he's the second coming of Steve, but I'm not seeing the Tommy Boy similarities that they're describing. I guess we'll see. (Oh yeah, Abs Boy is history.)
Last week I was at school to look through a kid's file for my internship class and I randomly wound up getting a new teaching assignment for this coming year. Apparently the number of special ed. students is getting too high and when they found out that that's what my master's is in they decided to have me teach resource room in the mornings. So now I have to fill out all this paperwork and spend a shitload of money to get certified ASAP just so I can have a more difficult job come September. Doesn't seem fair, does it? But I'll still be the Spanish teacher 4 periods a day, and just do special ed for 2 periods. The good part of all this is that I need to get through one more year to get tenured, and this is just making me more valuable to keep around.
So no crazy summer stories. No excitement. No drama. And it's going by too damn fast!
