Monday was a “transition day,” where I would help the new teacher get used to my former classroom and to the campus.  He had really made the room look nice over the Christmas break!  He was also really impressive to watch — he is an excellent teacher!  I showed him around campus and helped him wherever I could.  I also got to see my two former English classes, which was great.  They missed me.

On Wednesday, I subbed.  I was supposed to be studying for my English CSET, but one of the teachers in the English department was very sick and had called me at home Tuesday night to ask if I would be in her class.  On Monday and Tuesday, she had asked random subs to show movies.  Now on Wednesday, she needed a sub who could actually teach something, so she wanted me in there.  What a nice compliment!

I got a call on Friday from the Principal’s secretary, asking if I could do an emergency sub job.  I had to turn her down because I really had to study for the CSET.  It made me sad to turn down any request for my target High School, but I had to, and she understood.

Tomorrow is CSET day.
