The past two weeks have been insane. I'm not even sure where to begin. note to self: If you wrote more frequently you wouldn't have to cover two weeks at a time.
On the job front, I spent the two weeks on pins and needles. No one really had any information to me. But by Wednesday this week, I had an inkling I was safe from a last minute cut. As of now I officially still have a job. No word on what exactly I will get to teach. I guess I will find out during the last week of school. i really would like the summer to revamp or prep for next year. I might actually get some regular classes and not Schools to Careers. It makes me a little sad then - my classes were never boring. As one student said to me, you know Ms. G - the thugs got your back. Not a lot of teachers can claim that apparently. We have our differences but they know I won't tell them something I don't believe to be true.
I went to a Tupperware party. That was fun. The next day I was supposed to go to the Math Department end of year get together but I spent the whole day either passed out or throwing up. What a fun day. I went to school the next day cause I felt mildly better. I should have just stayed home since all I got was grief for munching on my plain old cheerios. "They aren't even the honey nut kind!!! How can you eat that?? You lose Ms. G."
I attended the Army Wife Network: Spouse Field Exercise yesterday. It was a lot of fun. A great night were I didn't feel self conscious about being by myself in public - like when I try to eat out at restaurants by myself. That doesn't happen often by the way. It made me wish we were back in Lawton. We had a good group of friends and good time. For some reason, I feel that here in Manhattan I have been lacking in my friend making skills. I guess it is a combination of a bunch of things - not being able to fully participate in events while working, and not being a super outgoing person. It is one of those army - life things I am still working on. I admit though that it leaves me a little sad.
Beckie and Morgan had their baby girl early this morning. Little Miss Adina. My goddaughter. I feel so honored. She is beautiful. I can not wait to meet her in about a month.
Next Monday is our 2 year anniversary. The army is 2-0 for making us spend it apart. Andy was really sweet. He got me Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Childs. Gosh, I love cookbooks. I have a bunch of textbooks to read right now though. I should be able to enjoy it over the summer though. I just hope that he gets my package in time. My luck it will show up a week later.
Check in later.
