Limbo 2
Well, I got the call yesterday. I went in to assist with a Kindergarten class for the morning, then I had fifth graders in the afternoon.
I soooooo prefer younger kids.
Found out one of the teachers is a Sigma Gamma Rho! I was like "Why didn't you ever say anything before???" (Because I am forever wearing something with APhiA on it.) She said "Because I'm not active" with a smile.
Now....I don't know 'bout Y'ALL....but THIS boy right'chere is gonna rep his fraternity FOREVER, lol. Okay, maybe not forever, maybe I'll outgrow the need to "rep." But I don't know, I don't see myself not mentioning my affiliation when I meet another Greek, even if I'm inactive. Even if your committment lapses, the vows are forever. But, I respect her nonetheless, and perhaps even more!
Fifth graders....gosh, I don't know what to say. They're rough around the edges. Can't say I'd want to teach them forever.
Nothing else very exciting happened at work though. New sub man was still there. He seems cool, but quiet. Seems like I search so hard for male camaraderie on the job. The only man I clicked with instantly was this other sub who has since moved to Atlanta. Seemed like, for a while there, he and I were full-time staff members! You couldn't keep that staff healthy for a solid week! lol
Today, I didn't get up at 5am. Was more like 5:30am. I fell asleep pretty much right at 10pm. Maybe 10:10pm. I expected to be woken up by a call from him but that never happened. I woke up at maybe 1:30am and saw that he hadn't called and I got disappointed. But what can you do....I fell asleep again, and woke up again at 3:30am. I hate when that happens. Luckily, both times I fell right back to sleep.
Now here I am, in limbo again, waiting for that magic hour between 7 and 8 when I usually get the call to sub. I am contemplating not being available so I can get some SLEEP and some work done, but naw.....I need the money more right now.
And now for an entry about the book....
