It nice not teaching this morning. (P.S. It took me over 40 minutes to get to school this morning:)). I did notice that my teacher called on one student in particular way more than any other student; I hope I was more mindful of that.
I noticed I was a bit more impatient with the students today; I think I just had a lot on my mind...
The whole "job" thing. As I got to thinking about it, it is going to be a 35-60 minute drive depending on the weather. I checked today, and I only get sub pay, not Title 1 aide pay. I don't receive any days off; I would just have to have a "no pay" day. And, I had already planned a trip in January that would but into that first week back at school (which could be cancelled if necessary).
Do you think, especially in light of the economy, that is unwise to just want to do more random stuff next semester...like sub, clean houses/businesses, and perhaps even nanny/babysit? I think my mind and spirit kind of need a break. I am not fearful of losing an opportunity to get my foot in the door at Eastern; if I would not end up following Tom, I would go wherever I could find a job or overseas or anything. I'm not worried about that.
I don't want to make a foolish decision, but I don't want to do what's "the best" in everyone else's eyes.
Just thought I would get your opinion if you don't mind playing mom or the "wise one" or something like that;)!
Have a good night.

Olivia,
ReplyDeleteThere is absolutely nothing wrong with not taking the job. You will have multiple opportunities just in Grant County:). If you're in need of a "reprieve" then I'd take one as this would be the opportune time. It would free you up to explore where you want to go and begin the application process. If you decide to look for a job out of state you may need the flexibility to go interview. I can always send opportunities your way as I hear of them. I know there will be maternity leaves at various schools if you decide your ready to step back in before the end of the semester.
Hope this helps:). I'll be praying for you as you make a decision. I'm here if you need to talk (even after this semester!).
