Well this week I started substitute teaching to earn a little extra money. My first assignment was at Dixie High School in the special ed department. I liked it but on the first day was a little saddened by the lack of motivation that the kids have, some kids of course are mentally challenged and are trying, but have a really hard time, and then there are the ones that you can tell are able to do the stuff but just have attitude problems and don't want to try. I don't know, I am sure that they are tested and are placed in special ed for a reason, but it was a little shocking to me. Well today was my second day and after talking to Mom last night about my experience, it didn't really bother me. I am a sub and they are teenagers, so any chance of getting away with not having to work they will surely take. So I get to go tomorrow and it is a half day so I will be done by 11:00am, now that is nice I have been done working the last two days at 1:20. Gives me time to run errands and still be home to be when the kids get out of school.
Other than that I have just been busy with normal stuff. I have taken two photo sessions in the last couple of weeks and that is always so much fun! Someday.... yeah I want to be a photographer like a lot of people I have met in the last little while. As to quote one of my professors "everyone who has a digital camera thinks they are a professional photographer" I really do want to be a professional photographer too! I have made a new blog with some of my favorite photos on it.
The kids are all doing good, they are all so excited to think that I might be subbing in their classes sometime. I know each of their teachers and so I'm sure that will happen and will be so much fun for me as well as totally exciting for them.
I just wanted to ramble on about things that have happened lately since I have not posted in such a long time. We went to the Jubilee of trees on Sunday, that was really neat. Julie I wanted so bad to go see Anneka, but I just couldn't make it. She is so cute I'm glad she had a good time and did well. The kids all sat on Santa's lap and got a candy cane, Alyssa asked Santa for a Power Wheels Ford F250 drivable car, oh boy! We will have to have some sort of talk with her cause I don't think she's gonna be getting one of those. When she told me what she asked for and told me how great it was that she thought to ask for that because "what ever you ask Santa for, You Get!!" I was secretly wishing their really was a Santa to fulfill her wish. But I know she will be fine, she already mentioned today something about being OK with it if she doesn't get her truck. I think maybe Celise or Austin had a nice little chat with her and said that she might not get it. How nice of them.
