Sometimes I wonder what in the world I get myself into. First of all, as you know, I love school spirit. I love the sense of belonging kids (big kids, too :)) feel when they are active. So, I volunteered to be a Beta Club sponsor!! There are 3 other ladies who are sponsors as well. We had a meeting on Wednesday afternoon. Usually I leave school by 2:50, but not on Wednesday. When I finally pulled out of the parking lot, it was 4:30!! In the meeting, I learned a lot about Beta club...and what I would be doing. Next Saturday morning, the Beta Club will be volunteering at the Susan G. Komen walk. The week of homecoming at Erwin High School, we will be participating in different events each day. For instance, Monday is camo day (in honor of our principal who hunts), Tuesday is Tacky day, Wednesday is 80's day, Thursday is Twin Day, and Friday is spirit day! Friday after school, we are hosting a tailgating party in the grassy area at our school. After the tailgate, we will be attending the Erwin High School football game!! I am so excited... :) On Halloween, which is also Grace's birthday, I will be walking in the Magic City Classic Parade. In case you don't know, this parade is before the Alabama State and Alabama A&M game...it would be like a parade for the Alabama/Auburn game. Beta Club is going to have me busy!!
Obviously I am excited about this! And I had a great week. Tuesday night Cassie and I met for dinner and discussed our students. Man, I can't believe we are real teachers. Wednesday night, after the meeting, I went to the boys' house for homemade pizza. That may have been my favorite meal yet! Thursday I bought my first big-girl purchase. A new camera!!!! I am going to try it out later this afternoon. Friday at school was uneventful, but I got a lot of work done. I am in the process of writing my first IEP. It's not as hard as I thought it would be, but I could Dr. Rock's advice. Friday night I went to Fultondale to eat with Cassie and her friends from Tuscaloosa. It's great hanging out with great girls. I haven't laughed that much in a long time. Thanks for letting me be a part of your friend time!!! When I got back to my apartment, I had a surprise waiting for...GRACE! She spent the night with me because right now she is taking the GRE. Later we are getting lunch and she is heading to Guntersville.
What a great week it has been... :)
