The week started off so good
I subbed at an elementary school on both Monday and Tuesday for the same class... it was a 3rd grade inclusion room. Boy, I had such a good experience there! I fell right back into that familiarity of what things were like at Camelot elementary (where I student taught)... and it was GREAT! I even had the experience of getting a new student on Tuesday! I met so many wonderful and helpful people there... and an acquaintance of mine from HS (who's worked there the past 3 years) said that each year they usually have 8-10 new teachers... so, I'm hoping that if I continue to sub there I could at the very least have a position there next year... hopefully sooner. I sent an email to the principal thanking her and letting her know how very welcomed I felt and how much it brought me back to that pure feeling of teaching/working with kiddos that are extremely grateful for their teacher. I will be back there in about 2 weeks for the same teacher and I will be taking a copy of my resume with me (if the principal doesn't print out the copy I attached to the message I sent her this morning!)... I'm really hoping this could be somewhere I'd be TRULY happy teaching. I mean, after all... the RIGHT reason that people go into this field is to make a difference in the lives of kiddos... and it's just so much more gratifying to do this in the lives of families that need the most help!

That sounds awesome Kels :) I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Here's one of my favorite parts about the whole thing at my gym. One of the spandex wearers was someone who WORKS there. She's one of the front desk people. I'm already, in my head, drafting a letter to PEAK Fitness regarding how people who weigh 400lbs should absolutely not be the first thing you see when you walk into the gym. I mean, how long has she worked there and has seen no benefit of working out? How is this supposed to be inspirational? Other than making me peddle faster so I never ever ever get that obese.
*shakes head*
I realize that I'm not thin right now, and that I need to lose 60lbs... so I hope that doesn't come off as inconsiderate. But honestly, I wouldn't apply to work at a gym right now (ok, or ever) because I know it'd be ridiculous!
