"I got words."
I start my new job Wednesday. Well, I learn how to become oriented (?) as a New Employee Wednesday. I am ... excited? eager? Don't quite know. I'm not nearly as worked up as I was when I started my first classroom teaching job. Then again, I'm not "it" this time around. I get to learn and absorb and be challenged without having to be in charge. And I will be in a library. I've had more fun these last few weeks of summer having random conversations with my camp kids, my Sylvan kids, co-workers' kids about books. This is happiness in a career: when your bliss happens to be your livelihood.
However, I may be in a small amount of denial about four days a week at the library, one day a week at Vanderbilt and two grad courses on the side! I think it'll be okay. I'm actually looking forward to the online courses. I've been in undergrad/grad school for close to ten years now. I know what a classroom looks like and the dynamics of personal interaction. I got it. Bryn's little introverted self is really relishing being able to hide behind her computer and pipe up only when necessary. Oh, and blowing some UT orange socks off with her insightful papers, of course.
So, a toast. Here's to new adventures, new challenges, time management and a steady stream of stories.
