slight disappearance

so the last two weeks have been pretty crazy to say the least. i had my first day off yesterday in two weeks, i finished my first year of teaching, moved to connecticut and worked my first week at camp. so it has been a bit of a madhouse for me and in the few minutes i check my email at night, the last thing i want to do is blog though i've had so many funny things to write about. though it has been pretty crazy, things have been fabulous.

school ending was pretty bittersweet for me, i had an amazing first year teaching. honestly my student teaching was a million times harder than my first year. my co-workers (especially in my department) were incredible as mentors and friends and making me laugh. my students were fabulous, they (for the most part) listened and respected me, i think enjoyed my class and hopefully learned some history. i was really sad on the last day of school to tell them that i most likely wouldn't be returning next year, and they weren't happy to hear that. my first period made me cry, they made me a poster of the class and all signed it. so that was really sweet. but i just found out yesterday that i officially do not have a job in the fall. there is a slight possibility that could change it, but right now i have no idea what i will be doing in september. so extremely frustrating that with two weeks left in the school year i was told i won't have a job and the way things ended. but i will have amazing recommendations from my vice principal and my supervisor.

so school ended last friday the 18th, i helped out at graduation (which was cool and nice to see and cheer on all the seniors) and then drove up to connecticut. and then camp started on sunday. it was a crazy, but awesome week. we had 36 10-12 year olds sailing. and it was a tiring, but learning week. i'm learning a new camp and a new position, but really enjoying it. i'm super excited for this week!

and i've just enjoyed living in connecticut this week. the weather has been super hot (which i'm loving) and i'm enjoying hanging out with everyone. though amy and i did fall asleep at like 9.30 on friday night. oops! but we made up for it last night! which was a blast!

so hope everyone is having a good weekend! my reader has exploded and my blogging will be near non-existant this summer. i will try to keep up with my where in the world wednesday, i was really upset that i missed last wednesday. first one i haven't done!
