Tick Tock

I'm counting down the days until the school year is over. 13 more I think. Wow. So my first year included being moved 2 weeks in...being put in a 5th grade room with kindergarteners, meeting great people in my grade level, being told I wasn't coming back, then having vast improvement from my students and being comended. Now I'm job hunting, and its a bummer. Each individual county wants the same 10 documents from me electronically, which I'm unable to send at the moment. And Marion County has waited a week to tell me I need to come in to explicity tell them which documents from my file I need faxed. I hate when a person way above me in responsibility and pay scale does more poorly at their job than I would. I'm totally unimpressed with things. All we hear about is how badly teachers are needed, when I, at least a decent teacher with no baggage, has this much issue in getting and maintaining employment. However, I did get a job last year, and I'm much better now with a year's experience, so I SHOULD be able to get a new job, yes?
I think I'm liking Lisa more and more...but not completely. She's cute and funny, but hates when I point it out to her. She doesn't like mushy stuff, and I love sharing the mushy stuff I'm feeling. She's like 5'1" and thinks she's tough. Like just about every woman alive, she doesn't realize how attractive she is, but oh well. I've learned by now that even though I see real, obvious beauty in many women, hardly any of them see it in themselves. I think makeup should be outlawed. Believe it or not ladies, when you first wake up, and have no makeup on, your hair is a mess, and you're wearing god knows what....you're beautiful.
