Ahhhhhhhh

Holy Crap have I been busy. I'm actually so busy I want to cry....like every second of the day. I'm currently covering for an assistant who is out on maternity leave. Her boss is a nice guy but a pain in the ass. On top of that, I have a new boss of my own (that makes 3!) and he is a little jerk. The kid is younger than me by a decent amount of years and makes a buttload of money. On top of that he has this ridiculous sense of self-entitlement. I want to smack the shit out of him everytime he looks my way. He is the lowest rank on the totem pole you can get around here without being an assistant and yet behaves like he is a partner or something. His demands are just absurd. I have gone into my other bosses and gave them the scoop so they should be putting him in his place soon. If not, I'm going to do it and they know I won't mix words lol. So I currently have 4 bosses only, two of which I like.

On top of this all I start school tonight. Yes, School. I can't believe I am even writing that. The truth is, it has all happened so fast I'm not sure I believe it yet. I have been thinking about what makes me happy and what I want to do with my life. I decided that I would like to persue a career in teaching. I love kids and i love teaching so that was a pretty easy decision. It is also very important to me to be able to be active in my future children's lives. I want to be home to help with homework. I want to try to have dinner together at night. My parents were not around much for that stuff. Anyway, teaching seems like a great way to be satisfied with my work and be home with my family. Obviously, I don't have a family yet so I figured now's a great time to start. Actually, I figured next fall was a good time to start. My mother is friends with one of the Dean's at the school I want to go to and when I went in to meet with him for some guidance, he basically told me I should come in Tuesday (yesterday) and meet with an advisor of what I am interested in. I did that and she signed me up! She wants me to continue working on my application while I am in class as a non matriculated student so I will be ahead of the game. She also said there was no point in wasting a whole year when I can start right now. And there it is. I start school tonight! My head is swimming with work and all this school craziness so I apologize that this is an incredibly brief entry. As soon as I have time I have to catch you up on my weekend and my wonder boyfriend who has been soooo lovey dovey lately, I will.

OH! Good luck with school! And congratulations on figuring out what it is you want to do with your life and doing something about it. It would have been easy to keep putting it off...

Cakes has been lovey dovey too. It must be in the NYC water.

Good for you for going back. I am a geek. I love school. I love the smell of a brand new text book, the feel of a new notebook and new pens.

I know, GEEK! You can say it;)

Teacher is an excellant profession. Tiring, but rewarding. Educators absolutely deserve the summers off. No matter what people say!

Good luck...holla, I have a masters in education if you need papers and such.
