Diversity has SO MANY meanings...
...And whether you like it or not, it effects EVERYONE. For my master's classes, I had to attend a seminar today on diversity. It was eye-opening for sure. I was frustrated at first because I know that there are as many kinds of diversity as there are people in the world, but the seminar addressed...

Just a snap-of-the-fingers update for my readers.
One month into my first semester in the master's program and all is going smoothly. Still waiting on the financial aid to come in, as for some reason it just has to be difficult; aside from that, all is well. I'm keeping up with the workload without any problems, and I'm surprisingly enjoying the...

I go YEARS without being sick enough to take time off work...
...And suddenly I find myself home with a sore throat, cough, and a bit of a runny/stuffy nose. Seriously? Are you kidding me? For someone who's had nearly perfect health for so long, why now? Thankfully it comes at a good time, since I sorted out all the details for my classes today, which I...

Job-hunting.
It's tedious hard work, but I know it will be worth it. There have been numerous openings for teachers, group leaders, and instructional assistants, and I've been sending out resumes and cover letters like wildfire, trying to grab something, anything, but not nothing. I've only had one interview...

I'm keeping this in mind while I work.
Nice work in its way — Not boring, certainly, the supple capacity To make oneself up as one goes. *Elma Mitchell*

So I'm hanging on till I get my new job...
...But for now the current one honestly blows. My boss has serious issues, and the past week, she's gotten worse. In the past week, we've had six spats, just three in the past three days. They are always - ALWAYS - started by her. She accuses me of things I didn't do - for instance, backtalking or...

I'm walking on sunshine!
I put out ten resumes yesterday for about a dozen jobs, and within twenty-four hours, I scored an interview with one school! There is another one on the horizon, since I did receive a response to clarify which position [there were two being advertised]. The first interview is set for tomorrow...

I'm getting there, step by step, one resume at a time.
Last night I stayed up till almost 3 a.m. updating my resume and creating a cover letter. Now, they both look SPECTACULAR. Mission accomplished! This afternoon I looked at my county's website for teaching openings, and I was very successful! I found two, plus a couple dozen openings as a group...

This is the plan, man:
Come January, my educated, educating tush is going to be back in a classroom till I finish out my master's in 2011. The countdown has begun: 158 days till I can once again call myself a teacher, dropping "legal secretary" from my list of titles. How about that? I have a lot of work to do, and it...
