Already Substitute Teaching

I’m in my 3rd year subbing and I like it a lot. I really enjoy teaching and can’t wait to get certified. I start back up my Master’s with certification program in March, and I should be done either end of 2013 or early 2014.



legally change my name
Name Change Finalized

It’s done! It’s official. I had the final hearing on my name change this past week. I had to give a little speech on why I wanted to change it, including the significance of each name. I changed my middle name and my last name. It was kind of annoying because the magistrate was all, how do your husband and kids feel about it. WTF it’s 2010! but anyway my husband feels fine about it. He indulges my eccentricities :)



buy a used desktop for my writing room
New to Me Computer
