007 - License to Teach

That was what was on our cake Wednesday night for our student teaching seminar. Actually, it was spelled "licence," but it's a difficult word to spell for somebody who works the bakery at Safeway.

I just want to sing "Schooooool's out for the summer!! Schooooooool's out for-ever!!"

Of course, it's really not - just mostly. I have one more class to take this summer, and then I'll finish up my Master's Project in the Fall. I anticipate getting my degree in December, but I was told that it could take until February. Whatever, as long as I get it in the 07-08 school year.

The ESD did not give me any credit for previous experience on the pay scale, but they did give me credit for the Master's, so I have to finish it during this year or I'll owe them.

I still don't know where I'm working in the fall. There is an opening on the Community Support Team (where I did my student teaching). While I would like to be placed there, and have lobbied for the position, I don't think I will get it because there are so many people who want that job who are more senior than me.

I have the next three weeks free before I begin work at the Kiwanis Camp. I'm spending my time cleaning the house. I'm turning the closet in the office into a sewing center. Right now I have the contents of the closet strewn about the room. Hopefully I'll get this project finished this weekend.

I'm going to look at a car today. It's a '97 Subaru Outback. It has 189,000 miles, which is high, but it's only $4,000. I'm a little wary of it, but I drive an 82 Caprice, so anything is an upgrade. I'm going to take it to my mechanic before I make a decision, but I'm still nervous...

And that's my update. I'll blog more later since I don't have any assignments due!!
