Ahhh!! The stress is pretty much overwhelming me. I can't find a JOB! I simply can't believe that it is this difficult. I wish that I was stressed about starting a new job, but I can't even be stressed about that because I don't have a job yet! Betsy, if all else fails, can I be your assistant? K great.

I also had a question about what y'all included in your portfolios. Since I haven't had any interviews yet, I haven't exactly prepared one. And, true to form, I'm rushing a little bit to have one prepared so that I can interview as soon as I (hopefully) hear from somebody. Just let me know anything in particular y'all think should be included!

Good luck with the new year's preparations!!

P.S. I'm seriously available for hire. I make a mean bulletin board.

Stress

I am feeling stressed about the school year coming up so quickly. But yall, we've got to remind each other that we were made for this. This is it -- we are doing what we have spent our whole lives dreaming about! Maybe that's what makes it all the more stressful -- what in the world am I doing? what if what if what if... but in the end, we have to just take risks and truly invest in our students. 

How are yall feeling?! :)

So I had a meeting at the district office last week and I left home early so I could stop by the school- the principal was just around the office and took me to my classroom. And the highlight of my year: MY NAME WAS ON THE DOOR!
