Fall Break

My school district started school this year on August 9th. Because of the early start, we are one of very few school districts in the area currently on fall break. We have had the entire week off. It has been a nice break.

It started last Friday. I left immediately from school to the airport with Dancer. We flew to San Diego. Oh did I forget to mention that I was going? Well it was a short trip. We flew out there Fri night. Enjoyed the beach and dinner with the parents on Sat., then we drove back Sun and Mon. Yes, I said we drove back. Dancer's best friend has an old Miata convertible that he gave to him. We drove 1000 miles on Sun. Dancer will tell you that it was really 998 miles, but it felt like a 1000, ha. We drove most of the way with the top down because it has no air conditioning. They don't need it in San Diego of course, but when you are driving through the desert, ya sure wish it had it! It was a shorter drive on Monday, but I had to be back in time because I had class Monday night.

This week has gone by fast. I have really enjoyed spending some extra time with lil'babs. Got my hair done, went dancing last night, went to the pumpkin patch today, got soccer and a halloween party tomorrow and the state fair on Sunday. All in all a good week.

I have my big state test next Sat. Once I have that under my belt I will receive my certification for teaching early childhood-4th grade. I think I will also take the ESL (English as a second Language) state test. Looks good when you want 1st choice when being hired in the school district and school of my choice. I'd really like to work in the school distrcit I am in, but I will also look at, consider and possibly place resumes in a few of the school districts east of me. Hopefully all with in a 20 min drive or less.

That is my update for now...
