Hello, everyone!
My math students are working, so I have a few minutes to write a little note.
It has been a typical spring, although it started late! A typical spring is warm and windy, windy, windy! I come home from school or driving the bus or walking the dogs and I have dirt in my ears, nose and eyes, not to mention pink dandruff! The dogs could be out in the backyard for an hour and they too get quite dusty. They're not dusty from just rolling in the dirt but from the dirt blowing all over them. Certain times of the day are worse than others, and sometimes the wind just blows all day long!
So, this is hard to write because of my reputation; however, oh, well! I have applied to St. Martin's University to get my teaching certificate. I applied for Fall 2008. I haven't heard if I've been accepted or not. That is irrelevant becaue I plan on leaving here May 20. I haven't applied to any other colleges. When I was younger, I only applied to the colleges I wanted to attend and was always accepted. Now that I'm a little older I think that was crazy! Please pray that I'll be accepted. For the time being, I'll be living with my mom; please pray that will go well too!
This means we need a junir high teacher for next year. Darrel and Barbara Valdois are leaving too. He is our 7-12 science teacher and she taught high school English and an art elective. Our leaving is causing a big hole in the upper grades. Please pray or CONSIDER coming here to teach next year! I have been here eleven years and loved almost every minute of it. It'll be hard to leave, but it might finally be time.
Well, it's been thirty minutes since I wrote this stuff and nothing has changed except that the bell has rung. Need to teach Bible!
Be praying for us all. love, megan
