It went well-- my new place of employment is a very relaxed, very chill place. I did a lot of paperwork today, and a lot of observing. But I got three hugs from small children so life is pretty good.I'll be working with preschoolers, mostly, and hopefully enjoying every minute of it.
Summer is fading fast, sad to say. Yes, I know it's only just August, and really, the state fair is the true marker of when the season is coming to a close. But my brother and our cousin are on their annual journey together, this time to New York City. Every ten minutes an adventure, I'm told. They've made the pilgrimage to the Apple Store of all Apple Stores, as well as some other touristy things.
I'm slowly getting ready for fall. Their trip usually signals the beginning of that slide into shorter days, and of course now that I'm working at a school again, the sight of notebooks and backpacks on sale at Target mean even more.
The past two months have been a hidden blessing. I didn't know how much I needed the break until it was forced upon me, and I didn't know how much I appreciated working until I was nearly desperate for a job.
i'm so glad your first day went well :)
ReplyDeletei've been to "the fruit store" i would have been more impressed and less bitchy if it hadn't been the first destination after our red-eye. new york is just brilliant. tell them to take the ferry to state osland ferry, it's free and has a rockin view of the statue and manhattan at night.
