Back at it

Today I returned to the ranks of the functioning human beings. People who actually add to society. And it felt awesome! It was my first day back at work, although the kiddies don't come until next week. I found room 207 just how I left it. It felt like home. I hoped to get all kind of wonderful things done, until I was handed my caseload and told almost none of the IEP's matched the schedules. Such is life. My boss is amazing and found all the problems for me, I just have to fix them. Which will probably take me at least a week. But I did manage to come up with a much better filing and organizational process for my IEPs and I am pretty stoked. Spent 8 hours just getting that much done hah. (There may have been a 2 hour lunch in there though. Some of us really needed to catch up).

 

It seriously feels amazing to be back. I LOVE teaching!!! I remember at one FHE way back in my Provo days, we were playing a getting to know you game. One of the questions was, "what would your dream job be?" I honestly said that what I did was my dream job. I guess I could add to the dream by tripling my salary, but oh well! This really is exactly what I want to be doing. And I know I am at the right school with the right people. I love doing something I am good at and really feeling like I'm making a difference. There is stress, oh boy is there stress, but it's worth it.

I can't believe I was starting at South Hills just one year ago. I was a craze-ball of emotions. Now it just feels comfortable and safe and happy.

It's going to be another amazing year, I just know it!

ps. Sorry if some of my special ed lingo doesn't make sense to you. I don't feel like explaining things. Cos I am lazy.
