So I used to do xanga, but I hear this is the cool thing to do now! I am always on here reading someone else's blog about what is happening in their life, so I decided I have nothing better to do with my summer than write blogs about my cute little swim lesson kids!
Following in the foot steps of my parents (I can hardly believe I am saying that) I am teaching swim lessons this summer and having a blast! I taught swim lessons and lifeguarded two summers ago in Austin, TX while living with an aunt and I really loved it. I forget how much I love doing it until I start again. Last summer I was in Mexico all summer so I didn't get a chance to do it, but since I have found a company that has 12 satellite locations in the Atlanta area hopefully I will get to do this some every summer! Maybe I can convince them to start a location a little closer to Milledgeville so I don't have so much driving to do.
I am not living in my apartment/house this summer, because I needed to make some good money before school starts back up, so I'm staying with some good friends in Carrollton, GA where I graduated from high school. I'm teaching Monday, Wednesdays and Saturdays, but still driving an hour to get to the locations where I teach- Thank God Aqua-Tots pays for my gas!!!
I still have somewhat of a job in Milledgeville, but I am at the point where I am no longer enjoying it. I can work from home, but the internet is not quite strong enough where I am to really make it work from here. I have been going to the coffee shop to do some work but I really haven't gotten anywhere and I am not wanting to really concentrate on doing it right now.
I'm trying to decide what I should do this upcoming school year. Should I change my class schedule and substitute teach two or three days a week? Should I leave it the same and work at a day care or after-school program? Or should I just stick with a job that does nothing for my resume and getting into the graduate program for teaching next summer?
Decisions, decisions, decisions! I am trying to find a teaching job close by to start in January and teach through the remainder of the school year, then start grad school in July. That is what I am really hoping for, but we'll see what ends up happening.
For those of you who don't know- I'm majoring in Spanish, and minoring in English as a second language and Psychology. Next July I would like to start the year long Masters in Arts and Teaching program at the same school I'm at now.
Mom and Dad will be in the states in 10 days!!!! I'm so excited, even though I was just with them a couple weeks ago, but I am excited that they will be in the US for 6 months! CHRISTMAS IN MY HOME COUNTRY!!!!!! Whenever I need them I can drive 4 hours and have them!!! I am so glad to have Whitney and Waverly back as well- we have been texting non stop even though they are in Texas. I'm going in a few weeks for family vacation / reunion. It will be the first time all of the family is together with Amanda (Will's wife) and James (the baby they're expecting in September).
My boyfriend Tyler just got a job in Gray, GA, so he will be staying in Milledgeville, which I am very excited about! We've seen each other a lot more than expected this summer, because one of my teaching locations is 15 minutes from his parents house, but it will nice to be a couple miles from each other like we have been used to.
Well that's all for now...Hopefully I have covered anything that is burning on anyones minds to know, but feel free to ask away!
