Mood:  not sure

Gee, it's only been three years since I posted.

I love inconsistency.

Actually I don't love inconsistency, but I did forget my password, so there's one excuse. Lame, but an excuse nonetheless.

There have been huge changes since I last wrote, I am no longer a special ed teacher, I am now in the classroom.  I totally, totally love it.  The change came two years ago, and it was one that I wanted for ten years, but couldn't convince my principal.  He retired, new one in, at the end of the first year, SHE approached ME about making the move! I was stunned, and had sort of given up the idea of that ever happening, because my former principal had been such a jerk.

It was a great year with those kids, and an equally good with the class I had this past year. I enjoyed this year's class because they were really smart and into school and projects, and were funny and always happy.  I'm going to miss them.

My incoming class appears to be a bunch of fireballs, I met them for an hour in June.  Several kids with learning issues, which is fine, and a bunch who appear to be on the ADD side. They were really active and chatty the first day they met me, and that's really unusual. One of the kid's dad plays for the Red Sox, so that has the potential to be cool.

I am also going back to school this fall to get my master's.  Four of use are going together, so we found a program meant for working professionals and are all hoping that we can handle it. We are all doing it to get the pay increase.  It's going to be a big task to take on, and it may mean that I don't do some of the other things that I usually do like chorus.

We shall see.
