I subbed for Matt's aunt's sister today. I have subbed for this class before and they are totally amazing. I love going in there. Much to my surprise, today was a short day which was totally awesome! We got out of school at 12:30 so I was able to come home and do some much needed laundry. I felt kind of bad because there was a student teacher who took over everything all day. I felt like dead weight... I didn't want to step on her toes by helping too much but I didn't want her to think I was totally lazy by just sitting in there doing nothing. I hope I wasn't too annoying. The kids were great.
I really hope that jobs for teachers turn around soon. I got another denial email today about a teaching job. It is really discouraging. Yes, people are saying that there are older teachers who are going to retire, however, the packages for retirement really aren't in anyone's favor right now so teachers aren't retiring. I just want a job already! I feel like I would be able to do all of the things I am ready for if I was able to have a full time teaching job. I know everyone has said that things take time, but I really am one of the most impatient people on the planet. I like for things to go according to plan and right now they are not. I mean, I sped through college and fast tracked not only my undergraduate degree but my master's degree as well so that I could get a job and start a life BUT this economy is failing me and my plans for the future. Don't get me wrong, I am extremely thankful for the long term sub jobs that are in the near future and for the friendships and relationships I have built with staff members at the schools I am working at, but I just wish things were more stable for me. It is very hard to plan a life when you have no idea what tomorrow is going to bring. A miracle will happen someday, I am just getting tired of waiting for that someday.
