The Drama Continues . . .

Not only am I teaching 9th, 11th & 12th grades of English, as well as 2 hours of theatre, BUT I also am teaching 3 hours of Junior High Beginner Spanish. NOBODY TOLD ME THAT WAS COMING! I got my class schedule today, as well as 4 class rosters (still missing the Spanish one), and I just about freaked. You have got to be kidding me, I can't teach Spanish! Here I thought I was escaping it by getting out of language school and moving to a south american country! (You better hear the sarcasm in that statement, I am laying it on pretty thick) I am concerned that I have 5 preps (all of you non-education people, preps are not snotty students, they are different subjects to prepare) this first year with no ability to pre-plan. This is going to be one rocky first year of teaching. "What does not kill us only makes us stronger!"

I jokingly e-mailed back to Steve (HS principal) that although I wasn't sure I could do it, I know God could, and HE would just have to do it through me. My stomanch is in knots just thinking about this. Also, I have had really weird muscle twitches in my lower abdomen today and I am not sure why. My uterus is learning how to jump rope I guess.

Well, I am off to a Ladies Night Out in about 15 minutes, so I better go!
