A fresh start...
Did you notice?
Yes, I changed my blog background yet again. I feel it needed a little something...a little help...a little pizazz...something a little more 'grown up' and perhaps classy.
Today, I had my first TOC (teacher-on-call) job of the school year. Teaching music all day. Ha.
I was literally mobbed by a group of kindergartners who all wanted a 'high five' from me after I taught them a song that included a 'high five' in the actions. It took a while to settle them down.
I was asked if the picture on my teacher ID was a picture of me as a baby. It was taken in May.
Slightly surprised, I asked "Do I look like a baby in this photo?"
The Kindergartner replied, "Well, you're hair is darker."
"What color is my hair now?"
"Blonde."
Yes, thank you summer sunshine.
I was completely dumbfounded when playing a game with Grade Two's. Three different pairs of students, who were suppose to have their eyes closed (and were also facing a wall), managed to correctly guess who the student in the circle leading actions was, within 3 seconds each time. Seriously...I thought I had an eye on them the whole time to make sure they weren't cheating...how did they do that?
The Grade Four's wanted to call me "Miss J'. I also thought that was cool.
I managed to still appear more intellectual that a sixth grader. Thank goodness.
I think I can do this.
I also ran over a frog today. How does a frog not move out of the way of my giant wheel? Still...I was surprisingly crushed. My jaw hung open for a while after I saw its' flattened little body growing smaller and smaller in my review mirror. Opps.

A Realization
About 30 minutes ago, I was standing in my kitchen making a cup of tea. As I swirled my spoon around, I began pondering about tomorrow and mentally preparing myself for the first day of school. I have had many 'first days of school' and I was shrugging off tomorrow as almost one in the same of the many I have already experienced.
It then dawned on me. Tomorrow, I get to start off the first day. I get to be the teacher, I begin my career.
Yes, I put down my spoon and mug and began to excitingly jump up and down throwing my hands up in the air (yes, I throw my hands up in the air sometimes, saying 'ayo'). Rika laughed at me as I screamed 'I get to teach tomorrow' over and over again. I finally came to the realization that my dream was coming true. After 20ish years of dreaming of becoming a teacher, tomorrow - the dream begins.
