Counting down already
Dec. 31st, 2013 07:00 pmWhen 2013 began I was slowly going broke working at a daycare center in Blacksburg. Nobody teaches for the money, but this was the first time I couldn't afford to work for someone. Yeesh. I'm sure I've left out some things, but here's the main things I remember. (If you know something I've forgotten, feel free to remind me. I'll add it on.
In January I:
Designed costumes for Children of Eden play
Got stranded in a blizzard
Had to quit a job because it cost me more to work there than they paid me.
Got a new (albeit temporary) job.
Joined a church
Went to see the first Hobbit
In February I:
Attended a very cool Writing Workshop
Did parent/teacher conferences at old school
Played Apples to Apples for the first time with the Bairds. Much cackling.
Substituted at Mountain View. Never again.
