Karin!
Good luck with the teaching job! And teaching at college sounds so much less stressful than teaching teenagers who don’t want to be there!

Delilah, I’m still most likely going to end up teaching. Right now I’m waiting to hear about an adjunct professor spot teaching a Freshman Lit class at the university where I got my bachelor’s degree. The department chair is a former professor of mine who was excited when I told him that I had gotten my MA in English Lit in May of this year (he was on sabbatical all last year).

Even if that doesn’t happen, I may start looking into adjunct positions at some of the Community Colleges while I enroll in a second Master’s program.

Fedora and Karin!
Thanks for stopping by. So you both thought about teaching. Takes a very special person to do it.

I’m glad to hear your day went better than expected, Delilah. I had my substitute teaching license for three years after graduating with my BAS, but never actually used it as I got a full time job a month after getting it. You get some major kudos for doing that.

Whoa… huge kudos to you! Good for you for teaching (even as a sub) and glad it was a good day after all! I briefly considered teaching before I came to my senses and realized I’d be terribly ill-suited for that!

Bummer…I was hoping for some good stories. Glad your day wasn’t that bad and I’m sure the school was eternally grateful.

Thanks Lacy and Brandy!
I survived. Actually had a fun group of kids. Didn’t have to “wrassle” a one!!

Good luck to day Delilah! My thoughts will be with you. I am dreading the teen years with my own kids. I was a bit of a shyly devious girl in high school and so far my daughter is just like me. sigh.

Anyway, hope it goes smoothly.
Lacy.

Oh Delilah I’ll be thinking of you. If it were my kids I would give you permission for the chokehold but then T likes to wrestle with the kids so they may fight back. I hope your day isn’t too terrible.
