Today is a new day

Well okay, I am going to do another update. First things first. I am going to break the suspense about what I couldn’t talk about any further in the last post.

I have accreted a job in the Wilkinson County school system. I will be an intervention teacher for Pre-k. I will be helping the below level students with reading. I will be starting there on November 3rd. I am very excited about the position. I went to a training (the week of my last post) and left the training daily really excited and felt that my time was being used in a good way. I think being able to see the student actually increase their test scores, as a direct result of me helping them will be very rewarding.

I have been a little apprehensive about leaving a private CHRISTIAN school going out into the ‘real’ world. But really seem to like the people I will be working with. No they are not Allison or Sherry or Patricia (tee hee), but I think I will really enjoy it. Plus REAL friends will still talk to me after I leave Trinity!

I told my students today that my last day will be Oct 31. My seniors are already trying to figure out how to have a ‘party’. …. Of course in my honor, because they would never try to scheme a party up just for nothing!

Last week I attended the COMO conference in Athens. This is a media specialist conference. One requirement for one of my classes is that I ‘experience’ a conference. I had so much fun! My favorite part was sitting on the panel discussion of the media specialist of the year. There are some VERY interesting stuff going on in our state! I went with Kim and Mary – they were gracious enough to let me be their roommate! The sad part was we all love facebook so much. We sat in our hotel room in Athens on a Thursday night all on facebook messaging each other….. sad…..

Friday and Saturday was the 10 year high school reunion of Eastside’s First Graduating Class. When Jeff asked why we were going to the Oaks on Sat and I informed him for our 10 year reunion. He determined we were wrong. It had not been ten years; if it had I was getting old. I simply reminded him, if I am old…. What are you????

Friday night we did not go to the game because of rain. Apparently a lot of people did not go to the game. They are going to try to reschedule that part! (THANKS FOR ALLYOU DO IDA!)

Saturday was a lot of fun. I am really glad we decided to go. We got to see a lot of people whom I haven’t seen in a long time. Catch up and laugh at what we have done in the past and talk about what was going on in our lives now.
We sat at a table with Kim and Sam, Candace and Mike, Stephanie and Bobby and us. Matthew joined us after he returned from Athens and the UGA homecoming game. It was like old times.

Oh yea, I almost forgot. We ventured over to Ozone, after the Oaks. This is the old skating rink…. Wow…. We didn’t stay long… and boy this verified…. We are getting old! 
We determined that in January (thanks to Stephanie) we will have a night out in ….Somewhere…. Location to be determined. But this does give us something in the near future to look forward too….. As well as an approachable goal.

Well back to work now!
If I had any photos, I would post. Stephanie, I am counting on a few you took!
