Just a little pity party...

Sooooooo, yesterday I needed to save something on my jump drive so I went and dug it out of a drawer...it has old pictures on it of my students and teacher friends at Dixie...I of course looked at them and it made me sad...1) because I miss them 2) because I miss teaching...

I had a plan that plan was to go back to school to get my Masters and get tenure...Now that plan is shot...sure I can go back to school and some probably think that's what I should be doing while I'm not teaching but more than one person has informed me that schools don't hire teachers with their Masters because they have to pay them more...Soooo, now I must get tenure then go to back to school...and of course finding a teaching job during this terrible time is next to impossible...

I've thought about going back to school for a number of things...Nursing, Dental Hygenist, Ultrasound Tech, I've even thought about just getting my Special Edu. endorsment added to my teaching certificate...

I really need to wrap my head around this thought of going back to school...it was such an accomplishment when I actually finished...I started in August of 2001 at Enterprise State Junior College and finished at Troy University in May of 2007...yeah if you added correctly that's 6 years...

I took my time, changed my major a time or two, dropped classes (math and science), and didn't go in the summer...

I've always been one to not finish things when I start them...usually they are small projects like stripping the staircase...(I'm sure you saw the "in progress" pics on fb)

Anyways, what I'm getting at is that I want a teaching job I want to finish what I started I want to get a job doing what I went to school for for 6 years...

As I looked at those pics on my jump drive I could see parts of my old classroom...my cute bumblebee windsock in the window, my bookcase that I spray painted red INSIDE and got paint all over the carpet and the wall...OOPS!!! and of course my messy desk!!!



MORAL TO THE STORY...I REALLY REALLY REALLY MISS TEACHING!!! I REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT A JOB!!!


End pit party here...
