March Madness

I have become increasingly more invested in college basketball since getting married.  The Professor LOVES basketball.  And especially LOVES the NCAA tournaent.  It is madness though.  I mean, 64 teams playing a single elimination tournament in two weeks?  Hours of game watching each day, changing allegiances to root on your bracket, everything losing priority to basketball.  It is a crazy time of year.  But so fun.

Along with the madness of the tourney, March has brought some new madness to our lives.  I found out about three weeks ago I may have the opportunity to teach full time for the rest of the year.  It was thrilling to get the offer.  As spring break approached, it become more and more of a sure thing, and finally, last Tuesday, it was solid.  That gave me four days to meet with the teacher who was leaving to get to look at all of her materials before taking over on my own.  Of course, this didn't come easily as I was asked to sub in different classes almost every day.  Between quick passes in the hall and short meetings when both classes were on break, I got about an hour with her.  It was enough though.

Spring break came and I was thankful I would have a whole week to prepare my room.  Then I found out the district said no teachers in the building over break. Well ok then!  I had teacher workday on Friday, and then I went in Saturday and worked hard.  Thank goodness The Professor was there to help me, I don't think I could have done it on my own.  I still have a lot to do, but I think I've done enough to get started.  Overall, just super excited to get started and have my own room!
