Grown Ups

This past week has been ridiculously crazy. I haven't even had time to type it all. All last week, I was in new teacher training. It was information OVERLOAD! I'm not sure I remember it all. I DO know that I need to sign up for all my health care stuff though. But even that is a big WHAT? on my radar right now.

It's strange going from a part time job with no healthcare, to an adult job that has all these things that are provided. I guess that's a perk of being a grown up.

I'm not sure I'm really a grown up, yet.

At least not in my heart.

But have new grown up choices to make.

And they keep coming.

Sometimes I wish they would stop...

But then I remember that with being a grown up.. comes salary = money = more freedom. But it also bring responsibility = not as much freedom.

Being a grown up is an oxymoron.

Not sure I like it... at least not all of it.

I wanna be a Toys R Us Kid.

But the kids have so far been great. I mean I have a small classroom with 34 desks in it.

My largest class is 37 students. One of those students has his own aid.

That's 38 people.

Not including me. I gave up my chair yesterday.

I also made a young man give his up for a girl.

He sat on the floor.

I will FORCE chivarly on these students.

I have a LARGE cupcake on my wall. I think my interior design students are more excited about it than my nutrition kids. Ha.

I eat breakfast at 5:30 in the morning.

I don't have lunch til 11.

I starve myself at work.

I was told to pack snacks.

It doesn't work.

Grown ups don't eat correctly or at the right times.

As a grown up, I will also have to live alone = eat alone = watch the bachelor pad alone = alone.

:(

Why do we move so quickly and hungrily towards being a grown up.. only to realize it's not what we really want?
