I’m sad
I found out today that I didn’t get the guidance job I wanted so desperately. What’s even worse is that I haven’t officially been told so I can’t ask my principal for the new curriculum I’ll be teaching next year so I feel like I’m wasting my time. My principal does know, but he was told not to tell me. He told our AP (who is a close friend of mine) and she told me b/c she thought I should know. I promised her, though, that I wouldn’t say a word until I was notified officially. Tomorrow I’ll work on finding the bright side of things but for now I’m just going to be sad.

School was fun (other than the downer news). We were practicing clothing/color vocabulary so I brought in a bunch of goofy clothes and the kids had a fashion show. The “models” picked out clothes and then their partners described what they were wearing in Spanish. For whatever reason a group of boys asked me how old I was. When I said “35″ the one kid looked like his eyes were going to fall out of his head. Usually this is b/c that’s about how old their parents are, sometimes they’re even younger. Anyway, they all said that they thought I was only 30-32. I think it helped that I had an awesome outfit and Barbie shoes so I looked younger than a typical 35-year old teacher.
Workout was good. I was able to do a new CE workout. I didn’t really like the 1st part but the 2nd half had a ton of great arm work. I love it when my muscles are shaking so hard that I don’t know if I can finish the reps.
My son wants to play Go Fish so I’m going to sign off.
Progress toward workout goal: 18/300
On-Plan points this month: 80
Awwwww, Brandi, I’m so sorry about the job. Still, stand tall in those Barbies, better things are undoubtedly ahead for you.
I lived in Okinawa, Japan for three years back in the 70s and I remember this beautiful hippy chick that lived across the street in the military housing area. The woman was cute as a button in her hip hugger jeans and halter tops and we used to hang around together and have all kinds of fun. Her birthday came around and she told me she was 32 years old. I was absolutely shocked! I couldn’t believe she was that OLD! As a 24 year old, I was truly impressed that she could be so cool at age 32! Where was my head??????
Oh, that sucks. Sorry to hear about the job.
In other news, you just shaved off 3-5 years off you age! For a kid to say that means a lot… they always think people are OLD!
Ugh. Sorry to hear that about the guidance job. Sounds like you are creative and great at what you do, though! What a fun activity. I hope you have classes full of great kids next year.
I’m really sorry- I hope a better opportunity comes your way in the future
Sorry about the job. What grade do you teach? I haven’t been able to figure that out. Sounds like late middle school or early high school.
Maybe the boys liked the teacher
You sound like a cool teacher.
Awww I am so sorry about the job. It is THEIR loss! Please do not feel bad your a wonderful gifted teacher and it is NOT a reflection on you that you did not get it.
HUGS
