Well, after going through one
graduation ceremony yesterday, today I was
hired to
teach at my
college, a
Win2000 lab class. $30US per hour is what it comes out to, so I am very pleased. Hopefully I will be able to now
weasel my way into full-time teaching, as my teaching
credential should be in my hot little hands in about 2 weeks.
Had the "you're growing up, you gotta start being responsible" speech with my teenaged daughter. I made a deal with her that I would give her a car when she learns to drive in high school if she maintains straight-A's, and if she keeps it up through high school graduation and goes on to college, she would get a brand-new car. This year, she has been procrastinating and turning in crap to her english teacher... well below her potential, written a half-hour before it is due. If she can pull off getting an A in the class I'll be shocked. While I'm glad I probably won't have to shell out 20K for a new car, I'm a bit disappointed that she blew off her homework to the point of messing her hard-earned 4.0 GPA.
