| Well it's close to the end of the semester and well... things are going pretty well. I LOVE teaching and Love my kids... it's dealing with the other teachers that's the frustrating part. I'm in an interesting situation... I'm temporarily at a school "teaching" until my school actually opens... Clark is the first school in IN. to open mid year... it should be... interesting... we'll see if we actually pull it off. But yeah I’m intruding on someone else's space and it's definitely getting on the teacher that I am working with and my own nerves. I can't wait to move to my own school with my own classes. This first semester has not been realistic at all... I only have 2 classes that are really mine, the rest I help out with... mainly working with the students that are falling behind... yeah so I'm pretty much an aide... NOT what I want to be doing right now... I know I know... I should enjoy it while I have it easy... but I just want to have my own classes... one of students asked me the other day... "Miss Heckler... why aren't you a real teacher" hahahah I AM A REAL TEACHER I JUST DONT' HAVE REAL CLASSES YET!!!! But anyways... so when I was hired, my job was 6th grade choir and 5th grade general music and 7th and 8th grade keyboarding (as in pianos not a computer) teacher, well then in the middle of the summer the principal told me that they just didn't have the space for the keyboarding lab so I'm going to be the general music (g.m.) teacher... fine I love teaching general music... but the keyboards would have been REALLY nice.... well now... apparently the keyboards might be back... so this whole semester I've been coming up with my curriculum for g.m. Classes and then they switch it on me AGAIN... not that I am complaining... the keyboarding lab is AMAZING... students being able to learn music by actually playing on the piano (!!!) most schools do not have the luxurious.... yeah so I'm not complaining so I'll stop now... it's just that now I don't know what I am doing and I have to figure it out all over again. UGH!!
Anyways... life’s pretty good though... I'm making some new friends... That's good... me and a couple other teachers are now having dinner together at ea.others apartments once a week! I'm really excited about that... I really need some good friends around here... I live by myself and I LOVE IT!!! But it can get pretty lonesome every once in a while. So yeah that's good... really good. Hmmm what else is going on? Yeah not much... it seems as if my life is consumed now with work... that's all I do... I wake up, go to school, come home, play a little piano, watch my TV shows, and go to bed and repeat the same thing over again. I guess that's normal right? It's just not normal for me... I need to get out of the college phase where it's party every day (hahaha JUST JOKING I went to bethel remember) no but you have people around you all the time and there was always something to do, now it's just work... and it will be even more work when I move to Clark... OHHHH I just remembered something else... apparently I'm helping out with interviews this week. Yeah for the music office secretary... hahaha I"m an interviewer... that's a first for sure :).
One last thing that was funny (funny to me anyways) today... it was the weirdest thing!!! So I just started going to this church in Crown Point... HUGE church and I REALLY like it... anyways... so there was a guest speaker and I was having a really hard time paying attention... well there was this cute guy sitting in the aisle next to mine (sitting alone just like I was) and my mind started wandering. So I was thinking it would be really nice if he asked me to go to Applebee’s after church (hahaha like that would actually happen) and then right when I thought that... he turned back and looked me straight in the eyes... no joke... so then I was thinking WHOA he's reading my mind (yeah my mind was REALLY wandering) and then I started thinking... oh he's shaking his leg... he's one of those people and immediately his leg stopped shaking... now I'm getting a little creeped out... so seriously this went on for like 5 minutes... so then I was like... wow... he has some nice arms... and then I was like.. Hmmmmm it looks though as if he has man boobs that's not good... and I bet because he is reading my mind he's going to straighten out his shirt so it's not hugging his man boob... NO JOKE like 20 seconds later... he did one of those yawning stretch things and straightened out his shirt... weirdest thing ever!!!! By this time I was thinking... wow this guy really IS reading my mind... therefore he knows that I was thinking it would be nice if he asked me to Applebee’s after church and NOW I'm going to have a date... FINALLY... sadly church ended and he did not ask me out... I'm holding out for next week though... I think he's just playing hard to get :)
That was REALLY long... but I figure I haven't written one of these in forever... so it's ok. | | |
| First off, last weekend!!!! I had SOOOO much fun!!!! Rachel, Sissy, Melissa, her brother Mario, and I went to chicago to Russian division street and danced ALL NIGHT (and morning) LONG!!! it was fun!!! and yes if you read Rachels entry we got into bar chicago for FREE!!! just cause we're that cool :). anyways it was WAY too much fun!!!
Secondly, today I had a staff picnic for Clark Middle School, which went REALLY well. I met 2 girls about my age who will be teaching there and Andy (the band teacher's) fiance who seemed really nice. I am looking forward to making new friends. I have 2 more new teacher meetings this week and then one on monday things are coming soooo quickly and the horrible thing is... I STILL DON"T KNOW WHERE I"M GOING TO BE FIRST SEMESTER... I know I'm getting paid and I know I am teaching somewhere... I just don't know where... AHHH anyways... hopefully I'll find out soon. well taht's it for now | | |
| Going Dancing tonight!!! whooooo hooooo.... but it's kinda weird... cause I am going with my sister and her friends... it's weird not going with my former roomies... this is my first time... wish you all were here!!!! LOVES!!! | | |
| first of all I have been writing a lot of these... it's really kinda fun :).
Secondly I want to JUST SCREAM!!!!! I am SO tired of guys!!!!!!!! so you know that guy that really hasn't showed much interest until recently and I thought tried to kiss me.... well aparently he didn't.... DON"T worry I didn't go for it and get rejected..... then the title of this would have been SO VERY HUMILIATED!!! but I am still pretty embarressed. so we went to go see a movie tonight and the guy didn't freaking touch me.... didn't do anything... I thought this guy liked me.... yeah I guess not.... well then we were driving back after the movie and I don't know it was just weird... well then I decided to make it even more awkward... way to go Laurie!!! yeah I blurted out.... so are we just friends or are we dating.... his reply "yeeaaaahh... i think we're just friends" my reply..... "Good.... GOOD to know" AWKWARD!!!!!!!!!! UGH... ok seriously.... the guy was nice... he had a lot of things that I liked.... but a lot of things that I don't like too. really this isn't about him not liking me like that.... that's fine.... in fact it's almost a relief.... I kept wondering if I really wanted to be with him cause I AM starting EVERYTHING new... and maybe I can find someone taht is a lot better than he is in things taht really mean a lot to me. not saying at all that he was a bad guy.... HE was REALLY nice... but There were some Very key things that I want in a boyfriend taht he was lacking.... but I was overlooking all that because I am F*cking LONELY.... that's what this is about.... and that I am F*cking tired of being rejected (yeah you know I'm mad when I start to cuss.... especially when I say f*cking.... and believe me I'm not leaving out the u in my head). What is SO wrong with me???? yeah I'm self-centered, a little paranoid and I know I can be bitchy at times.... but come on... look at everyone else out there... they are just as bad!!!! (yeah ok maybe not). Why am i always Every guy's friend????? I am tired of being friends with guys.... yes...I love my guy friends.... I love having guy friends... but I don't want anymore.... a want a boyfriend!!! I know I know I know... I gotta stop looking... that's when you find someone yeah I have heard all that... and I stopped looking like 2 freaking years ago!!!!! and look who's still single!!!! I know this is me throughing myself a pity party.... I'll stop now I promise... I just needed to vent cause NO ONE is around right now.... GRRRR.... OH wait one more thing.... Allison maybe you WERE right :) teehehehehhe *The End* | | |
