Summer Time! 2010

I got a request to blog again. So I will. I'll try to be more dedicated, but it's not something I really think about that often. Maybe it will be different this time... but maybe not! :)

I'm spending most of my summer in Alabama this year, which has been nice. It's definitely been nice to see the family... although, if I could get my MCAT scores, I would probably be enjoying myself a little more. Or maybe less? At least I wouldn't be dealing with the unknown... waiting patiently does not appear to be one of my strongest character traits.

I am changing positions again next year. It will be my 5th group of teachers to work with in 5 years. Looking back, I haven't really been stable in my job! Oh well, change is good when you're doing something that can be boring. I'm really excited for next year- it's going to be something that I've never done before! I'm going to be teaching the severely mentally handicapped students... from Down's Syndrome to Autism to low IQ to emotional issues... It is going to be a challenge, but I think that I'll be able to do a good job. I've been doing some reading up on the subject as well as trying to learn a few words in sign language. The reading is going better than the sign language. I'm still not that coordinated, and I really could be saying all kinds of things with my hands. Who knows!

I will be returning to Okeechobee next week, probably towards the end of the week. It will be nice to be home. I'm ready to take my new car on the journey to see how it does! It it a luxury vehicle compared to my Honda, although I did love her (RIP Flora... or continue living the good life, if that is your destiny!)
