School year is ALMOST OVER THANK GOODNESS I'M NEARLY GOING CRAZY! You know that picture with the owls? Yeah, I'm definitely that second owl right now. I've been working 12 hour days (school, math tutoring, coaching) and it's been exhausting. Props to doctors and nurses and other professions that work 36 hour shifts. I couldn't do it. I'm doing this extra work for the money to fund my Switzerland trip and to pay for my new car payments. So it's worth it. But shit, it is really taking a toll. Just three more weeks of school and then I can finally only have ONE JOB.
Speaking of jobs, I'm having a sort of first world crisis. I try to talk about it with my SO but he just doesn't understand me. Right now I work at a rough school. It's really rewarding in a lot of ways and at the same time it's ridiculously frustrating and tiring. My SO doesn't understand why I want to stay another year and sometimes I'm not sure I want to either. I'm really proud to work where I do. And I feel like since I can handle these types of kids I should stay. My life would probably be easier if I moved to an easier school, but I think I still have enough drive in me to stay a while longer. The teachers that work at my school are amazing. I really love them. I have a good amount of resources to do what I want with my classes. I don't know... I had an interview last week with a school so nice that the PTA (parent/teacher association) gives their teachers envelopes of CASH for Christmas. I mean shit! I have another interview later this week with a school that you have to go through lottery to get into.
(so this is the next day...)
Thursday is my interview for this position at a school where it's a lottery to get in. I was worried about the position because it's for AP chemistry. While I know I could knock out chemistry, the AP part made me nervous. Today I looked on the jobs website and they now have a middle school position! So I have a double interview Thursday- for both the chem job and middle school job. I'm not sure how I'll work that out in the interview, but we'll see how it goes. I'm really hoping for the middle school job. (today I'm feeling like I don't want to stay at my school because a kid called me a bitch. *sigh* Days like this I want to give up, but ANYWAYS)
It's a little after 8pm and I'm ready to pass out. I nearly fell asleep in my tutoring today. So ready for this school year to be over!
Also, I went to see Mad Max yesterday. It was SO GOOD! Maybe one of the best action movies I've ever seen. The cinematography was great, the action scenes were awesome, there were really cool ideas. I loved it.
I don't even know what this blog is really about. I'm ending it now because I'm tired. Brushing teeth and going to sleep. Yes, before 9pm.
Have a great day! (and send me some dancing llama thoughts on Thursday please!)
Secondly, your blogs are never boring. They're about your everyday life and that's what we can all relate to. Even thought there are so many people here with completely different situations everyone's problems are basically about the same three things: work, relationship and living/home.
Sending good
