It's been too long since I've blogged, and I really miss it. My life has been in overdrive mode leaving me with no time to spend just reflecting. I HATE that.
The school year is almost over which means cramming in 7 more IEP's, finalizing grades, and being sure all of my classes finish the novels they have been reading. It also means that final assignments/projects are due in each of my three graduate classes.
But I have come to a major decision. I will teach in Mississippi for the next school year in order to finally become fully certified to teach. This has been the most convoluted journey ever - don't even ask! A journey full of obstacles that have made me want to lose my religion! Even though my pay will decrease by nearly $5000.00 next year because MS doesn't pay as high as LA, it is still worth it if I am fully certified at the end of the year. Why doesn't Louisiana have more than one or two options for alternative certification? I know that Georgia and Mississippi do. But not Louisiana. Another thing to put our illustrious state last in line for.
I do plan to teach in LA again the following year, but I need to do this to end what will by next year be a 6-year endeavor. OMG... that's 2 years longer than it took me to earn my undergraduate degree!
I'm not going to know what to do with myself when all I have to do is teach. Not teach and do cheerleading, or teach and go to school at night, or teach and do cheerleading AND go to school at night. Just teach. Ahhhh.... the thought is so enchanting. I could get lost in that daydream.
Another thing that's been going on is my relationship with the fireman. It's still happening. I honestly don't have my head fully wrapped around it yet. Maybe that's another reason why I haven't blogged about it. I just don't know what to say. I also don't know that I want to open it up to criticism and comments. I may just want to keep it for myself for a while.
