Wow, two posts in two days!

So, big news. I had my end-of-the-year evaluation today. I thought it would just be with my VP, but my principal was there too. I wasn't exactly sure why, but it became pretty clear rather quickly. They asked me to be department head for next year. It wasn't exactly one of those things i could really say no to. I mean, I suppose I could have, but the options were either I do it, or my VP does it for another year. As I think he tends to kowtow to the parents, I guess I'd rather do it. Of course that may also be the end of my teaching career. I mean, I'm flattered that they asked me and want me to do it, it'll be nice to get a bit of a raise, but I'm also worried I'll be the scapegoat if next year is anything like this year is. Who knows. Worth a shot I guess. I'm excited but scared about it at the same time. However, now that I'm department head, a back to school tattoo is most definitely in order;)

In other news, three days of school left! Whoooooooooooooooooo! I'm looking forward to girly time on Wednesday and then the summer off. Maybe it's just as well that my job at plastics has fallen through this summer, I think next year will be nuts, so the time off may be necessary. I might also have a bit of a tutoring gig this summer for a little extra cash, so that may be ok.

There was an article in the A2 news about the Detroit Derby Girls. I've known about them for a while now and always thought it seemed kinda cool. Turns out, they're having tryouts in July and I'm thinking about giving it a go. Sure, I haven't roller skated in ages, but I figure skated for over 10 years and can at least do all the skills they're looking for on ice skates. Maybe roller skates aren't too different (I know a fair number of girls who went from competitive ice skating to competitive roller or the other way around with little difficulty). The tryouts aren't till July, so I have a little time to think about it. Doesn't it look fun though? www.detroitrollerderby.com.

Rock band comes out for the Wii on June 22. It's expensive, but I really, really want to get it. Maybe that's what this most recent freelancing check will go towards...and Jon said he'd go halvsies on it. Now, we'd just need to figure out how custody will work... ;)

Wow, two real blog posts in two days. What is the world coming to??
