Excited!

Dear Readers,

I had a phone interview!! It is for in WI but I'm still really excited about it.  I will know by the holiday if I have an interview with the panel.  I really don't have anymore updates regarding a job.  For those of you who are curious, I have 44 applications out in WI alone.

Okay, so I'm in Ohio and going to Cedar Point tomorrow.  I'm beyond excited!! You've never been there?  Seriously, you've never heard of it?!!??! GOOGLE IT!!! It's the best place ever..well, in the U.S.A. 

Much <3

Not What You Would Like to Hear.

Several of you have been asking about my job prospects.  I have applied to locations in Florida and interviewed there almost 2 weeks ago, hopefully I will hear something soon.  I have also applied to multiple locations in Wisconsin. I know I said I didn't want to be back here but things have changed and my perspectives are broadening.  No, I don't really have anything else to update you with.  Honestly, I can't figure out why I'm posting this. Yes, I understand that people want to be "in the know" with what's going on with me but that doesn't mean that I want the whole world to know about what I'm up to.  Yes, there are some people who I think should be able to know what new prospects I have for my future but I don't think everyone is entitled to that.  Therefore, it would be my guess that you will not be getting updates as much as you'd like.  

I'm trying to figure out how to attach my Alaska blog to this one but I haven't quite figured that out yet. For now, here's the link. ----- yoloalaska.blogspot.com

Enjoy your day.

Time For Packing

Alright guys, so some of you know that this will be a continuation of my previous blog.  I tired to get into my AK one but I can't so I am using my official personal e-mail now for this blog so it should not change.  My previous blog was www.yoloalaska.blogspot.com for those of you who are interested in viewing that one.  For those of you just starting out reading my blog, I'll give you a little background.

I did my first year of teaching early childhood during the 2012-2013 school year.  I wasn't in a place you know, well, most likely.  I was in Shishmaref, AK.  It's north of Nome and has between 600-700 people in the village.  Shishmaref is an island of about 7 miles long by 2 miles wide.  This distance though is much larger than the livable area, which is more along the lines of 2 miles by 1 mile.  My remote location also had no plumbing.  I had to transport the water to my house for my showers and use a honey bucket (which is not 'sweet smelling' at all.)  Anyway, I resigned after my first year there.  I loved my students and the people but the distance was too far away for me. 

I'm from WI.  I love traveling but AK was too much of a treck home, time wise as well as money wise. I am not sure what I'm going to end up doing this next school year but i'm working on figuring that out.  
Many people were sad that I hadn't updated my last blog so I thought I'd start fresh on here.  Although, on some level I really don't understand how it should be my responsibility to update people, I mean, my life isn't everyone's business, right?  

I'll just say this, "If you're a creeper, please ignore this blog.  There is no need for you to be reading this.  I mean it, stop....right now."  Alright, so I know that's really not going to stop a creeper from following my blog but it's worth a shot I suppose.  

Anyway, as for now regarding my future, in teaching, and life I suppose, I'll unpack my bags from AK, get rid of the bunny boots and -60F spirits and pack for the times ahead.  

Have a great night everyone!!! - and enjoy your day tomorrow :)

Much Love,
Lauren
