Limbo For Life!
November 17, 2008 at 2:14 pm | In Uncategorized | 1 Comment(Cross-Posted in And So Life Begins…)
More significantly… I’ve been feeling as though I’m in limbo. Work, no work, work, no work. Never knowing exactly what my schedule will be like. Well, it sucks, basically. But I came to the realization today that, well, this is my life right now. There isn’t much I can do about it right now. That just means I need to get used to living life as it comes. It’s nice, because I have days where I don’t have to get up early or dress up or go anywhere… but it’s quite boring, too. I’d LIKE to go out and work, make money. I have 3 days booked in the next 2 months. Not good. I need about 15 more days to be happy.
That said, I think doing Substituting is a good experience. It gives me a bit of many classes and that will help me in having my own classroom some day. I need to start making good notes of what I like in each classroom. I need to look at the different aspects of the classroom and take a bit from it.
It’s a bit scary, though. I won’t make the 100 days/600 hours needed in order to get health care next year. So I won’t have health insurance that way. So I might be facing a lack of health care for a year. That would not be good, but there isn’t much I can do about it. I can get a job, hopefully. The other option would be for me to MOVE somewhere and get a FULL time job. Somewhere. Where? Maybe up north. A job. With benefits.
Alas, one step at a time must be taken.
I submitted my application for Grad School. Now it’s waiting to get the results and then take the GRE. Woo.

I learned more as a sub than in any of my credential classes. I learned which grades I liked and which grades I would never be able to teach permanently. I refined my teaching style and discovered what works and what doesn’t. It was the best experience I could have asked for, and it took two years to get a classroom of my own.
But when I finally got there?
Boy, was I ready!
Good luck with the search.
