First Year Teacher Seeks Self-Meds

New School Year!!!

Wow. This is my first year as a professional teacher and I'll tell you what, it's something like student teaching, nothing like being in the little desks, and a lot like what everyone tells you: "you teach? that's hard work!".

Frankenberry's Identity Revealed!

By the way-- it would only make sense that the "Frankenberry" contributor to this Blog would be R. DeFrank, which is exactly why it is not him. Instead, it is my boyfriend, Sean. I know you don't know him (maybe Dr. Jones does), but it definitely is a name he would choose randomly. Frankenberry could post a message every once in a while if for nothing else, the minimal purpose of pleasing his girlfriend...

Praxising PJ

PJ- Really? You have to take all 5 tests again? Holy crap. Have you moved already??? --because I still kind of have your Praxis Study Guides and those might come in handy, no?

I think we talked briefly once about the Sylvan Learning Centers. There's one in St. Clairsville and I was thinking about applying for a position (at this point, I don't even know if they're hiring) in case I am not employed with a full-time position for the coming school year. Has anyone had any experience with Sylvan before? I remember "bad pay" and "crummy hours" in the DB discussion...

Summer Sizzles? How about Fizzles?

Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm really glad to see others have joined in on the Bloggerific Fun! Well, my interview was not good. Really, it just wasn't! But, at least now I know what to expect out of the worst possible interview scenario. Egos seemed to be in full effect.

Anyway, I am waiting to hear from the Prin. of Bridgeport High School here in Ohio for an interview and have heard that it is a good school to work in; good co-workers and administration who cares at least more than those at Shadyside!

LaDonna-- I'm especially happy to see you on here! I also am sorry we never got to put our names and faces together, and I don't know where you live right now, but I am always enthusiastic about meeting up for lunch with fellow classmates. :)

My sister got married this past Saturday and it was great. And now that I have my life back, I'll be posting more often!!!!

Later!
