It's still not really sinking in that I'll be starting a new job soon. Right now I'm trying to pay extra attention to everything about my current school, because exactly three weeks from today I'll be leaving for the very last time. I'm ready for the change and the new adventure, but I'm sad to be leaving a place that has been so important to me these last six years. And I'll really miss some of the people.

I keep hearing wonderful things about my new school and my new principal, though! She seems to be adored by everyone who knows her, and the staff is supposed to be top notch, as is the school itself. It's a STEM certified magnet school and is considered one of the best in our district. I've been told over and over how much I'm going to love working there. I feel very, very lucky to have scored this position! My first day will be July 10th, so I'll still have the whole month of June off to relax and get ready. 

Thank you all for all the kind words and good wishes on my last post! Your support means a lot to me, and I consider you all true friends. :)

PS.........I'll be posting a garden update soon. There's been lots of progress!

It all sounds really good, and I am very happy for you, my friend.
Will you have a much longer drive to get to and from work?

I'm so happy for you!

It probably won't fully sink in until you're there and working. Enjoy the anticipation!

Debby said...

I know that you've struggled and it's really worn on you. It's good to see such excitement!

Jennifer said...

Even with the principal gone, my current school has become intolerable to me and a lot of others who work there. I can count on my two hands the number of teachers and staff planning to return next year...no more than a dozen at most. It's been absolutely hellish and I'm glad to be done with the place.

Jennifer said...

I really am looking forward to it!

Jennifer said...

I think so too, Mary.

Jennifer said...

Thank you!

Jennifer said...

It does! I've been emailing back and forth with my new boss, and the other day she said, "I've been hearing so many great things about you. I can't wait for you to join us!" That made me feel so good. :)

Jennifer said...

No, only about one extra mile to get there! From my door to the new school is a hair under 3 miles.

Marco is currently hanging upside down from a perch playing with some plastic measuring spoons I gave him to keep him entertained!

Jennifer said...

Thank you Maddie! Mwah! xx

Jennifer said...

I'm counting myself as VERY lucky to get this job. Thank you!

Jennifer said...

Thank you! I've been looking for a change like this all year.

Jennifer said...

You're right about that! Hopefully by July the garden will be in good order and will just need plenty of watering in the summer heat.

Jennifer said...

Thanks Jenn! I plan to do just that!

Jennifer said...

Thank you Debra! I plan to enjoy it because I won't be getting the whole month of June off again. :)

I haven't been on line in a while; I was glad to find your happy news.

Fresca said...

Whoo-hooo! You are making your escape! Your new principal lucked out when you applied. As someone who has hired employees, you know what a gift YOU are going to be to them!
