Update

Here's the highlights of the past few days:
1) Finished my first year of teaching. Today was the last day with the kids. Didn't get teary till 2:37 (SO CLOSE), when Nathanial gave me a sweet parting speech about how "strong" I was because "my last teacher would run out of the room crying when we were loud, and we weren't really even that bad, but the kids here are WAY worse and you can like calm us down and you don't cry and run out of the room, so you're like strong and stuff." (The speech was sweeter than that, but that was the funny part.)
2) Tuesday: packed everything I owned in preparation for my upcoming move (sadly, this only took about an hour and a half).
3) Wednesday: moved the vast majority of my possessions in Dave's truck, my Escort and Joelle's Taurus (wait, it's not a Taurus, but it's a Ford SOMETHING, kind of like a Taurus). Also sadly, this only took one trip. Unloaded everything into my new SECOND STORY condo, went out to dinner with Joelle and Dave and my new roommate Brad, then went to Dave's to spend the night--I didn't want to deal with unpacking.
4) Came home after school to unpack and get settled. Only took a couple of hours. =-) I'm pretty much settled now, except for a few random boxes that, most likely, will stay packed till I move AGAIN.
5) Signed my official offer letter for the next school year. Still not completely sure that I'm going back, but it's good to know that I have a definite job lined up if nothing else comes through.
6) Got my classroom pretty much packed up and even got my boxes moved down to my new room (took advantage of the free labor, aka my students). Friday, I'm going to help Joelle pack up her room and then spend the rest of the afternoon on the mountains of paperwork necessary to "officially" close out the school year. My grades and report cards are already done, thank God. Actually, it's amazing that I've gotten as much done as I have, considering everything I had going on this week. I learned the true meaning of "time management" the last few days, that's for sure.
7) By this time tomorrow, I will have NOTHING TO DO but get ready for Vegas, whoo hoo!!!! We leave at 6 on Monday morning.

I'M DONE WITH MY FIRST YEAR OF TEACHING!!!!!!!!
