It's great to be back in the classroom

And what better school to work at than the one I was at a good portion of last year. I saw a lot of familiar faces, all of which were happy to see me. Today's subject was zoology and one course of biology. Not my strongest subjects. It was ok though. The students had work to do and the teacher also left a video. So I wasn't much more than a babysitter today. In a way that sucks. I like it when I have to really teach. Maybe it's my work ethics, maybe it's because that's what I'm really good at and enjoy doing. I'm still having issues with the dumbing down of education in America especially where I live, it's still evident at the start of this year.

The good thing is that I am now on that schools preferred list and there is already another science teacher that wants me to cover for her for 3 days in about 2 weeks. With my hours being cut at the hotel and my still having some financial struggles, this bodes very well for me. Also I have a job at another school in the morning. I'm hoping to score something Friday too. At $70/day (yes that's all they pay me) that's $140 (possibly $210) this week and another $210 coming up. Maybe I can get the Escort fixed and use it as a trade in for my Smart car that will be arriving soon.

w00t!
