new beginnings

so at the end of last week, i found out that teaching fellows (which was supposed to start in november) will not be starting now until late june. it screwed up a lot of my plans, including HAVING A JOB and adequate health insurance. thankfully, God is gracious and has provided me with 2 jobs in the meantime. starting tomorrow, i'm gonna be working as a teacher's assistant with josh and elaine at their school, and then going down to after-school program when school is over.

i'm really so excited to be a teacher's assistant. it definitely doesn't pay nearly as well as teaching fellows would have, but i'm glad to be getting the experience that a lot of people don't normally get. i was placed in a first grade ctt (cooperative team teaching) class, which is 60% gen. ed kids and 40% special ed kids. it's the new, modern form of special ed classes. the kids are adorable - ALL of them. it's so ridiculous how cute they are, haha. so while i'm nervous that i'm gonna screw up and horribly influence these kids' lives some way, i'm beyond excited to finally be in a classroom!!! AHHH!

anyone know of more part-time jobs? i really need to start saving money and not spending so much. this weekend, i was driving home from bing and i got a flat tire :( that cost a good $200 to get a new tire, so even less money than before -_-

eh, whatevs, God's been so awesome - just waiting to see what else He has up His sleeve for me :D
