A whole lot has been happening lately! Last week, my sister and I spent 2 days in my classroom putting everything together. I spent the whole time organizing therapy materials (I have a ton of great stuff!) and diagnostic tests (I have a ton of....really old stuff, 3 SSI-3s but no CELF? At least I have a trusty GFTA!), while Steph added the cute touches to my room. I have no table or bookshelves yet, but at least it's looking much more like a classroom now!
After getting my classroom together, I then spent 2 days at new teacher orientation, which was just as one would expect. Many hours listening to info about pay and benefits, the vision of the county, etc.
Midweek, my fiance and I spent a day looking for houses. We found one that has been completely remodeled and is located in a really nice neighborhood. It's amazing what you can get price-wise when you're not looking in a college community. As excited as I am, I was not planning on moving this soon, so now I will be moving and starting school all at one time and it seems really hectic! I know that it will all be worth it. I am so thankful that I will not be spending so much time and money commuting from Athens, but sad to be leaving my sis, and Athens.
Then, the highlight of this week was finally getting to graduate on Saturday! I have been done with school since May, but we all had to wait until the Summer to graduate. It was great to get to see my classmates at our departmental reception and then graduation-almost everyone was there! It's so nice to know that I am "official", finally!
