Writing and teaching and Mika
May 28th 2008 03:00
Hi,
For those that don't know, I decided last year to pursue a kind of career change. I am still going to do what I've been doing (trading in the stock market), but I have also decided to pursue a career in education. I've been taking a lot of online education courses and been subbing for the last few months. Subbing has been interesting, with some classes great and some just have been really bratty. All in all, I've enjoyed it. So, this leads me to my point (I know, thankfully). Last week, my kids' school where I have been subbing, called me to become the permanent P.E. teacher until the end of the year. Seems the regular coach had been...let go. I accepted immediately, because sports are much better to me than sitting in a classroom. Only, nobody has contacted me from the school to let me know my responsibilities. I tried to get in touch today because I start tomorrow, and I was told somebody would call me back. As of 10:50 p.m. tonight, still no call. I feel like I am going in blind tomorrow. This also leads me to my next point. Teaching is something that I want to do and have enjoyed it, yet when I have to go in, why do I feel annoyed that I am not going to get to spend the time writing? Curse that having to make a living nonsense. I was getting used to spending my time alone at home writing and this puts a damper on it. I will have to make some time for that.
By the way, don't know why I feel compelled to mention this, but I am writing this while listening to Mika. I love almost that entire CD. I know it has been out for a while, but I only recently discovered it (I am 40, give me a break for not being "Hip to what the kids are into"). It was when that kid Josiah Lemming sang the song on American Idol. (I loved that kid and was upset when he was kicked off). But anyway, I thought the song was great and investigated what it was and just loved the whole thing. I played the hell out of it at the beginning and then for the sake of my family stopped. I think it has been enough time to allow me to break it out again.
So, I am teaching tomorrow, quickly updating th blog and do a little writing before going to bed. Hope you all have a great day tomorrow.
