Warning: Scattered Update

First order of business - If you read my last post, right to the bottom, you would now know that I am a WORKING teacher! I am on the substitute teacher list, which is no longer called that. It is called the TOC list (teacher on call). I have worked everyday since getting hired - which is apparently uncommon. I sure hope it's not beginners luck and that I keep getting called everyday!!!

With working comes the ever so lovely paycheque!!! I may or may not have done a LEETLE damage with that sucker! I bought new teaching clothes - that's kind of a necessary, right?

And new bedding to go with my newly painted and decorated room.







And then I bought something REALLY fun...



It's a GPS, but not JUST a GPS.......it's a PINK GPS!!!

This cute little thang is AWESOME! It even lets you download different cars - clearly I downloaded a pink one!

Now for your job. I want to name my new little helper, but I need some ideas???

Argh!

I graduated a month and half ago. I have two degrees and have been certified to teach in BC. I have NO job! Nobody is hiring here in the Cowichan School District - I was told maybe in April! Nobody wants to hire me for a part time job as they know I will leave them if I get a call to go teach. This SUCKS!





So I decided to do a mini-makeover of my bedroom. I painted a nice shade of brown (I'll post pictures when my room is all done). It would be nice to purchase bedding that matches my new paint job - but I have NO job, which means I have NO money! Am I coming across bitter? GOOD! I AM!

I did have a craft day and I made this sign! I had seen one in Linens and Things but it wasn't big enough. So I made my own! What do you think?



At 1:23 today I got called to be on the TOC (teacher on call or aka substitute teacher list) WOOT! WOOT! NOT SO BITTER ANYMORE! HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA SOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!

Have you heard the news???

It is official.......I'm a TEACHER!

I graduated on December 14 and before I even walked across that stage I had already sent my application in for the substitue teacher list. Hopefully in Jan. I get the call to come for my interview :) As for now I am enjoying my well earned time off and not using my brain for anything but fun stuff :)

After the graduation ceremony my grad class of about 50 plus dates went to the Grande Hotel in Nanaimo and had a wonderful dinner and visited with the people that we had been in a class with for the last 3 and half years and will probably not see for quite some time, if at all ever again.

Here is a picture of me - The TEACHER!!!



I am wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!!!
I hope Santa is good to all of you!!!
