OHMYGOODNESSIAMSOEXCITED!  i found out today that one of my coworkers is leaving, which means! i no longer have to float and will be given my own classroom 2 weeks from today.  super psyched.  thank You, Lord!  yayyyyy!  and it’s perfect.  it’s in my current learning community so i get to stay near the coworkers i love annnnddd, it has windows that connect to another room so for certain assignments i’ll be able to let the kids use the expo markers on the windows.  sososososo excited.  march 12.  i’ll have to figure out a way to decorate it.  i’m keeping the florescent lighting minimal.  ick.  florescent lighting is awful.

it is unfortunate that we’re losing yet another teacher.  i think this may be our 10th this year.  i keep hearing that all the smart people are getting out of education because there are so many problems with the field.  but, i hardly think the grass is greener elsewhere.  every other field has its nonsense to tolerate.  but not every field allows the impact that education does.  i’ll stay put; i’ll only  move if God tells me to do so.  i love my job.  even though i sometimes think i may go crazy.  :)

tomorrow is morning Bible study.  i’m about to begin prep work for it.  i’ve decided the topic to be anger.  i’ve been rather irritated with my family the past few days.  my roomie/cousin just got engaged and her parents haven’t contacted her except to say that they’ll think about whether or not they want to have a relationship with her.  …  …  and these people claim to love Jesus…  …  they piss me off.  i’m fighting the urge to make a snide facebook post stating what jerks they are.  but that’s not the godly response and it certainly wouldn’t help to build anything up.  though it would, on some ridiculous base level, gratify me greatly.
