It's Official!

I am officially a high school teacher. I am going to be a teacher at Century High School. I'm so excited about working with older kids again. Here is the website to my new school.

First Dates

I got a blog idea from my friends at work. They were discussing first dates and they wanted me to take a poll from you all. Think back to a first date. How would you feel about someone paying for your first date meal with a gift card or a coupon? Now I know some of you might actually be the ones paying, so here's a question for you. If you were at a restaurant and in your wallet you had a coupon or gift card for that restaurant would you use it or save it for later? Let me know what you think.

Fend for Yourself

I used to hate the evenings when I was growing up and mom would say, "It's fend for yourself night." What this meant is that everyone had to prepare and clean up their own dinner. I always hated that because I hated cooking back then. I also used to think that making a sandwich or warming up leftovers in the microwave was cooking.

Now, I love Fend for Yourself Night. I have declared just that. I'm not cooking. Jason is off mountain biking and I am at home alone. I went for a run and cleaned up and now I'm ready for bed. I'm going to eat some cheesy grits and curl up on the couch and watch some good old fashioned t.v. I hope to be in bed by 9:30. Mmm. I love Fend for Yourself Night.

Job Interview

I went on a job interview on Friday. I am looking to transfer to a high school position. When we first came to Maryland, the only opening for a Spanish teacher in the entire county was a Middle School position. While I have enjoyed my time at the school at which I am currently, I am ready to go back to the HS level.

My interview went really well. I still don't know if I have the job....so I'll keep you posted "literally" as I find out more.
