New job

[hiyoko]

Well I finally got a teaching job, I started on the 23 of this month. I like it, for the most part. The kids are really sweet, though it's probably cause they're 4-5 years old. But the drive to work is about 1hr 10mins one way. So I have to wake up at 5:30am, so I can take care of my puppies and leave at 6:30 so I can get to work by 8. My schedule was suppose to be 8-5, but because my supervisor feels bad that I live an hr away, she said I can take 1/2hr lunch and leave at 4:30. So I get home around 6, which gives about 3hrs before i should go to bed. I don't, things happen and I go to sleep after 10, so I've been getting around 5hrs of sleep. So now I'm sick. And my beneifts won't kick in until I've worked there for 90 working days. The pay isn't bad, I get 9.88 and I'll get more after I've worked there 6months to a year and then I go to head start. I'm an Assoicate teacher, but once I get some experience I'll be teacher (I have my degree and permit to be a teacher). I just don't know if this job is worth my time driving, I almost fell asleep 3 times yesterday when I was driving home. Granted I only spend about $10 of gas each day.

Well that's been my week.lol

Congrats hiyoko!  I don't envy you going into that field but I know it can be a rewarding challenge (my mom retired last year after teaching elementary ed for over a decade) - glad to hear it agrees with you and that the kids are behaving for you
