I have a new job!

It's in the uber-hip Williamsburg area (also the next city for MTV's The Real World) teaching 7th grade science. That's right, 7th graders. This should be interesting.

Also the school is on the 5th floor of a building without an elevator. Phew. My butt is going to look amazing. Also I've heard that anyone who teaches middle school loses about 30 pounds in their first semester, so get ready for a hot teacher. And an angry teacher, possibly, since 7th-graders are supposedly the craziest grade ever. They're young enough to have the impulse control and attention span of a child, but they have the hormones and attitudes of really annoying adults.

I'm excited though. I'm lesson-planning and mentally designing my own classroom.

Other than that I'm going to be spending most of July in Wisconsin with the family and Wisco friends on a lake. My dad got a cabin for me in an effort to get me to stay for more than 3 days, and it worked. Now I'm trying to find one of those old-fashioned plaid golf hats with a poofy ball on top, and a matching one for my uncle's dog. My dad also got a golf cart for me to drive around for 2 weeks on the golf roads next to the cabin. He didn't even get it from the golf course - he got it from "a guy" he knows. I think there may be a Wisconsin mafia, and my dad might be a key member. Hmm.... Oh well, as long as I have my golf cart, I'm not going to ask any questions. :)
