And moving pains. See, I t...Been thinking of you. And moving pains. See, I totally, totally sympathize. I'm just glad you have a few less boxes than we do. It's weird not seeing you pop up on facebook, but that's all right. It's not the only way to be connected. (Or the only thing that can distract a person).<br /><br />But moving and graduating and life stuff. It's all quite the package. I'm intrigued by the Teach for America thing. You know I did my student teaching in Southeast DC which is about as urban as urban gets. I'm glad I did it, but almost wish I'd not. It took me awhile to feel like taking on a classroom again and while it certainly gave me a tremendous life experience, it didn't really give me the best preparation for future teaching. My co-op teacher was less than helpful and it was a bit like being thrown to the wolves. But options are good and it is a very interesting program.<br /><br />Sometimes I really wish I'd gone for lower grades in the sciences and gotten a nursing degree. Not because it's my first love, but because you can do a couple of shifts a week, get paid a ton and never have to take papers home to grade. But c'est la vie.<br /><br />I also just figured out how old all the kids in our family will be when Benjamin will be on a mission and Isaac will be preparing to go to college and wondering what kind of job I'll be able to do then so that we can afford to support them.<br /><br />Egads. Phews. Why does life cost so much money?<br /><br />I definitely see something friendly and people oriented in your future. If not teaching then something like counseling or meet and greet.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />OK. This is long.
