2010 is starting off with a bang! I start classes tomorrow night. Yes, they are at night this semester and I am not happy about that, but the plus side is that I was given an amazing opportunity to work full time as a substitute at Lexington Middle.
Beginning on Friday, I will be subbing for a teacher who is leaving on maternity leave and will be gone for about 8-10 weeks or so. She should be coming back around the beginning of March. This is a good thing you see because that gives me about 2-3 weeks to catch up on serious school work and prepare for the next assignment. Another teacher leaves at the beginning or April or a little before for her maternity leave and I will be in her classroom until the end of the school term.
I am really excited about this opportunity, but I am scared to death and I am most worried that my school work will suffer. Noel has lectured me on how I am going to have to work harder, which he has no business doing -- he is the king of procrastination, but he is right. And I HATE when he is right...lol Working in these positions will give me a little something extra on my resume when it comes to working in the system after graduation. I am really hopeful that it leads to great job opportunities. Wish me luck!
Lastly, I am becoming the vice president of KDE. That's Kappa Delta Epsilon. It is a national honor society fraternity for education majors. This is also a neat opportunity and it too will allow me to have that little something extra on my resume. Hopefully it won't be too demanding.
