School’s Out!

Well, school is done – technically.  No students for a week at least.  I’ll be teaching a week of credit recovery for English starting June 6.  Yesterday was a long day.  I got to school at 8 a.m. and didn’t get home until 10 p.m.  It was a work day, but I didn’t really get any work done until after about 2:00.  When I got to school I found out that I had to get grades in by 11:00 which was really 9:30 for me since I had to go to graduation practice.  We had an end of year picnic and then I headed back to school.  I had to take care of paperwork stuff first and then I continued working on my room.  I spent much of the day cleaning out a large back storage area.  It had become the catch-all for just about anything and everything.  I have tons of empty boxes in there that I’m holding on to in case of a job change.  I cleaned until around 6:00 and I went to pick up some dinner and then went to graduation.  It was nice to see all my senior students and I got lots of good pictures. 

It was lovely to sleep in this morning.  I still find myself yawning, however.  Perhaps a nap is in order.  I had planned to give myself some actual vacation time this weekend, but I have to go to up to school because I need to get my t-shirt order file.  So I’ll probably do some cleaning again.  My house is a wreck though.  I’ve forgotten that it’s more difficult to keep a house clean when Josh is home.  I’m bad enough on my own.  With the craziness of school, late hours, and filling out numerous job applications, I haven’t had time to do laundry or dishes. 

I’m not sure how I feel about the upcoming job interview.  A part of me is scared that I might actually get offered the job and then have to deal with the internal debate of whether to make such a big move.  Then there’s the part that thinks I should step out of the box I’ve been living in for 20+ years where I haven’t really taken any risks.  I’ve lived in the same city since 1988.  But then again, I don’t know if I’ll even get offered a job at this point so no use worrying about things until something happens.
