It is official. I am now a "qualified" teacher. Err. Uhm. Qualified, of course, is a relative term to my sitting through education classes such as "Reading" and "Social Foundations" and the all time favorite "Learning." Geez, these classes made me such a better teacher. Cough.
Anyway, the celebration has been taking place all afternoon because the paperwork has now been turned in and signed. My new contract officially begins tomorrow. The really cool part is that the contract doesn't have an ending date. All of my previous employment contracts ended 6 months after signing them.
Phew. Job safety.
Uh oh - UTLA is talking about a strike. Drats.

It's never a good sign when other big unions don't get any of their demands met even though the ranks were picketing for months :( Anyway, let's keep our fingers crossed that we don't get pay cuts or go on strike. How will I ever get a Tablet PC of my own if we strike!!?!! Oh well.
