Looking Forward to the End of Work...

It has been a while since I've posted, sorry to all my fabulous faithful readers!
I think this has been the busiest summer Jose and I have had. It feels like the act of actually getting a new teaching job has been a part time job.
To get into the Wal.nut district we had to interview, sign a letter of intent, get an updated TB test, have it read, get a physical (drugs, overall health, vision, hearing*, etc), fingerprinted (by the meanest old lady alive... so mean I didn't even want to make a joke to her!), and other things I can't think of right now.
Then there is the whole act of moving your classroom. You have to clean your old one, pack all the important stuff, and then move it to the new place and unload it all.
So this might not read about how busy we are, but I'm telling you, I'm actually looking forward to Yub.a City this year because I'm anxious to have nothing to do. Just endless days of playing cards with my grandparents and reading chick lit.


Here's a picture of the Walnut Trees in Yub.a City. Awesome.

Here's to summer vacation (finally) and hopefully two great new jobs in the fall!

Working for a Living

Have I mentioned how much I'm looking forward to Summer School ending? Each morning Jose and I complain to each other about how much we don't want to go to work.
But then we realize how blessed we are to have jobs at all.
And then we feel bad for taking work for granted.
And then we don't want to go again.
It's a cycle people.
Only 10 more days of summer school though. I'm stoked. Who's with me. Are you working during the summer? Tell me what you're doing.
Seriously. Teachers are pretty spoiled when it comes to vacation, this I know (and part of why I am a teacher in the first place).

I promise, we're not Disneyland freaks

We had some friends come in from Norther California this weekend, Chris and Kristy. They stayed at the beach and we met them at Disneyland on Monday. Since they bought full price tickets (ugh) we stayed and watched Fantasmic. All afternoon Jose and I had been asking ourselves what job we would want to do if we had to work at Disneyland. At first I said a job in the parade, or a perfomance job of sorts. Then, all of a sudden, I knew:

I want to be Mickey in Fantastmic. The Mickey that dances and shoots fireworks otu of his arms to the music. I was born to be that Mickey.

Jose said he would want to be security so he can make that outfit look good.

What job would you want to have at Disneyland if you had to work there?
