Keys!!!

This morning was crazy! I slept in and woke up feeling relaxed. I walked out the door got in my car and thought, "let me make sure my Social Security card is in my wallet."  
IT WASN'T!!!!!!
I had to run back inside and look for it... I couldn't find it! So I decided oh well I need to go. 
I went and met up with my assistant principal and she showed me my classroom... I was... surprised.
It was in a separate little building then the other rooms. My room is huge though. It also has tons of stuff... I am going to spend a lot of time organizing it.  I also found out that I'm going to have a teacher assistant in my room at all times which makes me nervous.  I hate having other teachers watch me teach. Plus on top of that she has more experience being at the school than me.  I mean I am the so called lead teacher however it scares.
Emily said that she thinks it will be awesome however it just terrifies me. I guess we will see how it goes. 
No turning back now.
So... after that I went and signed my letter of intent and they wouldn't let me sign up for my new teacher orientation because I didn't have my social. 
I was so upset and started crying but on my way to the social security office I realized I knew where it was. I went home and sure enough there it was in my pink bag. Then I was able to breathe and calm down. I then how to go and tell my work that tomorrow will sadly be my last day instead of Monday.
Tomorrow I have to wake up early because I need to be at the admin building at 8 when they open so I can give them my social and get scheduled for my orientation!!!

Super Excited


Friday I was offered a teaching position! I literally jumped up and down with joy. I still have a hard time NOT smiling!!!! I'm so excited!
I am going to be a kindergarten teacher which when I first started teaching kinder was not what I had in mind. I wanted older kids because I wanted them to be more independent, however working with preschool age children this year as shown me how much I just love being around kids and how they really make me happy.
I am sad to be leaving Primrose because I will miss my kids soooo much, however I am even more excited to get a new group of kids to love.
Tomorrow I am going to get the keys to my school and get to see my room!!!! I'm super excited and can't wait to start planning and decorating my room! After that I'm going to sign my contract!
I'm super excited to be getting an actual salary with BENEFITS!!!! 
After all of that I'm headed up to Primrose to work a couple of hours.
It is going to be hard to make ends meet while waiting on this first paycheck but I will be so happy having my own room that I won't care!!!
Until tomorrow.... Pictures of the room will be taken!!!!
