I can smell it. Yes, the smell is definitely getting closer. Why friends, is that the glorious smell of summer?! Oh my, I do believe it is!
How I love being a teacher and having my summers all to myself!
*LOUD ANNOYING BUZZER SOUNDS* Correction! I am teaching summer classes.
Well, for a moment, I loved being a teacher and having my summers all to myself. It was like getting one lick of a delicious ice cream cone, and then accidentally dropping it on the ground. *sigh*
The good news is that I am teaching an art class this summer and it will be oh-so-fun. I mean it. I am looking forward to it, times a-million. I haven't quite worked out all the details, but I'm pretty sure that it will be a two week class, meeting everyday from 10-2. I *might* need my dear mother to watch avery for a week of that because goodness knows I do not have $400 to pay for babysitting for those two weeks. So, mother, if you're reading this, let me know if that would be okay.
Anywho, I've pretty much been guaranteed (I cannot spell that word without having to spell check it) a spot on the faculty at the theater where I'm interning. Sadly, this is happening mostly because of process of elimination. The other two interns are not turning out to be doing so well, so I guess that just leaves me. It would be a lot more impressive if all three of us interns were great and amazing and the director of the theater had to make a very difficult decision which took her several days to reach because we're all just SO GREAT AND AMAZING. Alas, it looks like I'm the only great and amazing one. What can ya do??
I typed up and sent in my proposal to teach a film class next semester. This was done in the pretense that all three interns are writing proposals, so make it really good, and it will be a contributing factor in whether or not you get the teaching position. But, since I'm apparently the only one who was asked to write a proposal because, again, I'm just so great and amazing, I think my proposal will be accepted and approved.
I shall get off my high horse now.
These last few weeks have been really great. Avery has been a ray of sunshine and really so well-behaved. I mean, as well-behaved as a 16 month old can be. She's been eating really well and sleeping really well and being quite the charmer during the day. She has been consistently taking good two-hour naps and sleeping all the way through the night. Note: I am now knocking on wood.
Life is good. What a HappyMama am I.
