Work was a bit slow going at first, but has picked up sufficiently in the last month. I'm still not sure about the possibility of a fulltime position for next year, but I am HOPEFUL! Spending most of my time at the middle school level and loving almost every minute. The kids are so challenging and I can tell most of them just want somebody to listen to what they have to say. I am more than happy to be that kind of teacher, in fact, that is the kind of teacher I always planned on being...one who is respected and in turns respects my students. Middle school can be such a difficult transition for kids and I am glad to be able to ease some of that. With the 6th graders in our district moving to the middle school next year, I am hoping that a position will open up for me:) Keep your figures crossed!!!
In addition to working more, I am also very much enjoying my present living arrangement with my awesome flat-mate (yep, we call eachother flat-mates:) Alicia and I get along famously! SE Portland has proven to be quite fun and with never-ending activities and places to visit! It will be difficult to want to live anywhere else after living in this area.
With the start of a new year has also brought a new fella:) Insert BIG smiley face here! We became friends through a mutual acquaintance around last October and after spending a bit more time together recently, realized there could be definite potential here. Above all, he is very kind, funny, and polite to me, full of great energy and makes me smile when ever he's around:) Hope I don't mess it up!
Grad school is on the down-hill slide too! Double bonus! Finishing my thesis up in the next few months and only one more class to take and I'm finished in June!!!! Mark your calendars...graduation for Fetrow in December:) Here's wishing everyone an equally great start to a new year!
