Not sure how to explain it all without being emotional over it. I survived my first full week at work. Yes, you heard that right. I finally have a job!!! I'm enjoying it so far and there are a handful of people that have been very sweet and kind to me!! I also met the young woman who I will be mentoring. This teacher is working with pre-kindergarten age students and wants to work with toddlers. So, I will be supporting her with this change and I've already had the opportunity to work with her and she is amazing and will transition nicely. Our classroom needs to have some added plumbing and supplies ordered in order for the classroom to be accepted by the licenser. It will be a process but we are hoping it will be up and running by March. I feel its slightly quick but you never know what can happen. We are brainstorming what we want to call our classroom, for example, the butterflies, or something else. We both like it and will try to find a way to talk more about it too.

So, long story short, the first job I accepted was in a federal building and I needed to have a federal background check. As of two weeks ago, my status is still pending. Needless to say, finances were beginning to change and unemployment benefits don't help completely. So, I went back on the hunt for a job and pretty much got hired on the spot. Meaning, I had the interview on a Thursday and the next Thursday I was working.

I'm adjusting well and getting into a routine of working and taking a class at the local community college.

The class is going well and I feel slightly out of place. Though, the professor has been kind and supportive. I'll be nervous when we start writing and working in groups to hear feedback. I'm ready for it despite the fact I'm setting myself up for the negativity than positivity. Though, I'm really excited about that part and overcome the not so great things about my writing. And not to take it so personally. Or as a target towards me. More about the class as time goes on.
