At least I'm over the hump...

This week has been exhausting. This testing thing is very taxing on special ed teachers. There's A LOT of reading and a hell of a lot of repeating. But hey, at least the kids get it read and repeated, or they wouldn't get but just a few right. Anyways, tomorrow is the last day of testing. I'll be glad when it's over and we go back to regular schedule. There are a lot of make-ups to do, with all the sickling kids that were out (or the kids that fake it, thinking they won't have to take it at all. little do they know that they'll have to take it when everyone else is done), but I don't think I have to help with that. Or at least I don't think so.

Have I mentioned lately that I am so glad I won't be returning next year? They made a tentative plan for teaching assignments next year, and there's a building full of disgruntled educators. Now, of course nothing it's not in stone (or should even be written in anything but sand), so they might be reassigned a few times before next school year starts (hell, my job was changed 4 times before I started!!). I'm just glad I won't be around to watch the tornado hit. Although drama is always entertaining, if you're just a spectator.

I've volunteered to help out at the Book Fair tomorrow night. The theme is "Read in Your PJ's", so guess what? I'm wearing flannel pants and a comfy shirt. They'll be prizes given away and guests that will read to the kids. Should be fun. I'll probably walk away with a couple of things, as I always do at book fairs. I figure, a child (or teacher) can never have enough books. It's better than spending money on gum, right?

I have an interview Monday for a job at a summer camp. I hope that I get it, because it's my only prospect right now. And I already know the in's and out's of working with kids of all ages. And maybe I'd get a tan, playing outside.

Well, a re-run of CSI is on that I've never seen, and the results show for American Idol will be on soon (go Chris!!), so I am going.
