30 Day Challenge - Day 24

Day 24 - A picture of you last year and how you've changed since then

This time last year, Amy and I would find a Target and try on all the crazy hats and take pictures.  A lot has changed since then.  I'm home.  I'm childless.  I'm far away from my ACC friends.  I'm back with my home friends.  I'm unsettled, but I'm settled.  My priorities are different yet the same.  I'm more sure of myself in some areas and less sure in others.  I don't have that purse anymore.  I've had 2 more purses since this picture was taken.  I still have those earrings.

Day 23 - A picture of something you wish you could change

I want to change my kitchen.  I want to change the counter tops and back splash, put in new flooring and re-stain the cupboards.  It is all a dream because it is too expensive.  The problem with doing one part is that I'd have to do them all.  It isn't that my kitchen is terrible, it just needs a freshening up.

Teaching is a funny thing

I got a job within my job today.  In 2 weeks, I'll become a full-time teacher again instead of a part-time teacher, part-time sub.  It seems that my teaching career is meant to start part way through.  I have never started a year at the beginning and completed it to the end.  I've had a million contracts, but never straight through.

You'll never guess what I'm teaching this time around....no, really...you'll never guess...go ahead...try.  Science.  Hahaha.  Science 09, to be exact.  I'm told that I will be fine from both the science teachers that I've talked to, so I figure it can't be that bad.  At least that's what I'm hoping for.  Added to the science is a Math 20 class.  I'm very excited to teach that.  I've taught Math 09 and Math 10 and I really enjoyed both of those, so I'm looking forward to teaching Math 20.  Whoo hoo!

Teaching is a funny thing.  I can't get a job that is consistent, but I've never gone without a job as a teacher.  Someday, I would like to have a classroom of my own, but for now I am simply grateful to have any classroom.  I am about to be a science teacher extraordinaire!  Who knows, maybe I'll love it.

Day 22 - A picture of your favourite book

I have a lot of favourite books.  I love to read.  When I like an author, I like want all their books.  I buy my books, I don't borrow them from the library or read them electronically.  I love the feel of the book, the smell, the comfort that comes from holding it.  Ah, books.  One of my favourite "go-to" books, I have probably read 15 times.  I love it.  A great book by Lori Wick called Pretense.
