BAM / Internship

I started working at Books-A-Million about a month ago. I am working about 25-30 hours a week. It's retail, and we don't close until 11pm. I open a couple days a week and close a couple of nights a week. It has been an adjustment, just because it's been a few years now since I have worked retail, and the working part is easy. The being away from Josh in the evenings is the hard part. But, nonetheless, I am adjusting and I know that we need the extra income. It's a good job. I like the people. However, I am SO ready to just be a teacher!

I did get my actual internship placement this week. I am going to be with Mrs. Heer teaching 10th grade American History and Psychology. I am SO excited with this placement. First of all, I LOVE Mrs. Heer. She is so awesome and sweet and I am already close to her which will make it comfortable and easy. Second, I really wanted 10th grade. They are a great class and I am just so ready!

I am really praying for a job in December. I graduate at the first of the month and there is one coach at the school who is supposed to be retiring but it could just be a rumor. That's really my only shot at a job this year though. If I don't get a teaching job, I am just going to stay at BAM and work until next school year. I'm really praying for it though. I don't know if I can wait an entire year to become a teacher.
