What's Going On With Me?
I got a new job.
I know this may come as a shocker because I haven't talked much about my career aspirations on my blog (for good reasons). I have, however, been job hunting since the begining of the year. Last week, I verbally agreed to be the new physical science/environmental science teacher at Clarendon High School. (It won't be official until the school board meeting on the twenty-fourth.) I'm telling my co-workers tomorrow, so I figured it wouldn't matter too much if I scooped myself on Xanga.
Truthfully, I am scared out of my socks. I have no idea how I am going to manage a classroom full of adolescent children. (Well, I have some ideas, but I don't know if they'll work.) I have no textbook or lesson plans yet. I have a lot to do in the next two months.
So, if you don't mind, pray for me a little bit. And if you have teaching experience (Lindsey), PLEASE give me good advice!
And that's what's going on with me. I mean, there's more, but the rest of it is awfully boring.
P.S. I just learned this new word, "adorkable." It describes a person who is a dork, but who you can't help liking anyway. Don't you love it?

Oh WOW! I just may have to give you a call sometime this week. Congratulations! And you can call me anytime this year- after a good day or a bad one. But I survived it and you will too.
That IS very exciting and scary. I hope you will post, once in a while, about how it's going once the year school year begins!

Regan, you will be an awesome teacher. Jason and I always brag that you may very well be one of the smartest people we know. You add that to funny, humble, and kind....you are definitely a winner! :)
@MableGrable - Thanks for the offer. I very well may take you up on it!
@matthew94 - I definitely am going to try to keep my blog updated during the school year. I anticipate many funny stories, probably with me being the butt of the joke.
@amandaarallen - Awww, thanks! Encouragement always welcome on this blog!
