So I've decided to blog again. Even though I know I probably read these posts more often than anyone else reads them, I just can't seem to walk away forever. Besides, with all of my new found time, redesigning my blog has never seemed so fun! So what's been going on with the Coffeys over the last four months or so?
This semester has been busy...to say the least. Even if I wasn't a half-hearted, non-commital blogger, I would not have had much time to devote to it. Student teaching took up the majority of my time. Straight from there I went to work each day. I was averaging about 12 hour days although there were several 13 and 14 hour days in there. It was rough. But sooo worth it!! I LOVED student teaching. I never thought I would enjoy the junior high as much as I did. And of course, I love my job too! So doing math like 60 hours a week was fun :) Student teaching came and went...(I wish all of my semesters at BYU went by that fast). My last day was last Friday. My cooperating teacher and my students did a little surprise celebration for me. They signed cards and brought treats...it was so fun! I'll really miss those kiddos! But it wasn't all sad...ending student teaching means: GRADUATION!!! I'm sooo excited to graduate! All the fam is coming up which is always fun and I can't wait to officially be DONE.
This semester has been crazy for Brock too. He's still working full time and this semester he started back to school full time at UVU. Most of his classes were evening classes since he was working. Full time job + night classes three days a week + plus mutual (he's in the Young Men's Presidency) + plus a Saturday class = BUSY. We basically saw each other for about a couple hours a day...it was kind of awful. Brock's last week of classes is this week and then finals are this weekend/next week. So he's almost done too!
So what's next for the Coffeys?
I've started the job hunt. In most cases, job searching sucks. But I must say, I've enjoyed it so far. There's something different between job hunting just for a job, and job hunting for your career. It's so exciting! Many districts still haven't posted the majority of their jobs, but some have gotten an early start. I've applied to several positions so far, but since this week was spring break, it has put a hold on the whole process. So far I've had 1 interview at Spanish Fork High School. The position was only part time (which I really don't want) but I figured it would be good interview experience. Monday I have an interview at Westlake High School. For fear of jinxing myself, I won't say that I REALLY, REALLY would love this job...oops. Fingers crossed! This coming week I expect to hear about more interviews. I'm hoping I have a job by like May or June so we'll see!
Brock is going to take the summer off from school and just work. He's going to start back at school this fall and cut back on work. Until he graduates he's going to focus on school and I'll be bringing home the bacon as a teacher (yeah right). I'll work through this summer at my current job. This summer should be nice. We'll hopefully get a couple trips down to San Diego in. I need my fix...and a tan. Overall I'm just excited to slow things down again for a little while. I'm excited to cook again, to clean again, to be a WIFE again.
