It's all jsut a phase...
Recently I've had so many thoughts running through my head, I want to write them down, but am often too tired to turn on my computer (or my computer has been out of commission- go figure). I still have a job for the fall, which is bitter sweet. I was almost wishing to be laid off so that some decisions and situations would be easier to make and to leave. I'll be at my school this fall, teaching the same grade, teaching my former kinder students, teacher my beloved C (aka: I love Yoshi and the color blue).

Money is tight right now, like it is for pretty much everyone (except the CEOs of GM motors, etc.). But oh how I wish I had the funds to travel! Play trip planning and finding $700 tickets to New Zealand is no fun. $700!!!! I've never found a ticket to N.Z. for under $1200... I still have the travel bug, but I'm in forced travel remission.

My summer volunteer shindig isn't what I thoguht it would be. It's a bit disorganized, and I donm't like the way the people yell at the kids (even if htye are a bit loud and unrully). Despite my feelings, I'm not running the show. I do what I can when I can and where I can. But I have to hold myself back and remind myself that this is not my classroom. I am not one of the instructors, but rather a volunteer. It's hard to let someone else have control of a situation that I know can be managed better, but don't have the clout to take control of. Must be a learning process/phase I'm going through.

3 teaching days of school left. Then the big WAIT... June 25 or August 15th layoffs? A strike? How in the world will I pay my bills? WCCUSD let us know!!!
