The Eve of Working

So, this morning is my last morning, not working a full time job. Ahhh....

Okay, so I am excited about starting my teaching job tomorrow. I am probably more nervous about making a good first impression with my co-workers than actually working. Tomorrow is just orientation anyway. I am excited to get started. Since the end of May, I have been dreaming of teaching and getting back into the classroom. I hope all my nifty teacher tricks come back to me.

I would like to report that I finished most of my wish list of things that I wanted to get done! Yippee. Today is a day of fun. I am spending the morning, organizing and prepping my house for a baby shower that's on Saturday. Then I am buying new make-up, then lunching with some friends, then my furniture that I ordered is being delivered. Then I am attending a birthday dinner for a friend. So, lots of fun and resting before work starts.

One guilty pleasure I am going to miss is that I am used to waking up early and watching a movie or TV. This morning as I woke up at 6:00AM (I decided to start going to bed early to prepare for my job and naturally wake up after 7.5 hours of sleep) I watched the movie I had from Netflix. Wow, is the word. I watched "The Last King of Scotland." Maybe I always fell asleep in history class, but I don't remember hearing anything about Amin. Amazing. I will confess that watching violence that is true really effects my psyche. To be honest, there were two parts where I had to cover my eyes and make noise so I wouldn't hear what was going on. For those that can handle violent films, I recommend it more as a learning experience than entertainment.

My blogging will probably start turning more towards the funny encounters with students and co-workers. Don't worry, I'll still have entertaining housework posts too! It's almost here...my new job!
