I got a job! Not only did I get a job, but it counts towards my teaching credentials!

I'm not student teaching, but rather Interning, where I get to teach my own class and get paid while I earn my teaching credentials. Not bad, eh?

I start on Monday.

Today a student asked me if I liked being a substitute teacher. She didn't ask me for any particular reason, like the class was being terrible or something. Just curious.

I do like subbing, and I'll tell you why: A kid brought me pancakes from Denny's this morning. He even put syrup on them and stole a fork from the restaurant.

Also, this is week is finals week and the only instruction for this period was to collect the students' final projects. Some students are watching a movie on their laptop. Others are chatting, or finishing up work for other classes. I checked my email, looked up photoshop stuff online, and created a masterpiece of a photo that I took yesterday with Mark.

I'm getting paid 105 bucks for this, so yes, I suppose I do like subbing. And here is my photo:

I FINALLY have a job tomorrow. Subbing for Science/Math at Dos Pueblos. It's finals week in the schools here, so I will probably be sitting through five study periods. Not bad, not bad at all.

In other news, it's been a long process, but I think I am working out the details of my student teaching. I'm a bit disappointed in my school, National University. I am supposed to be starting my student teaching next week, and I hadn't heard a word from them in about a month. That's stressful!

I'll let you know the details when they come!

As for yesterday, I went to the butterfly preserve in Goleta:

Sorry folks, I haven't had a single job of subbing this week! What's up with that? I did get a haircut, though, and I'm sitting in a sweet little coffee shop, waiting for a gypsy jazz band to start playing. Ah, Santa Barbara!
