Room

I finished reading Room on Friday! I couldn't put it down! It's about a five year old boy, Jack, and his mother, Ma, and their life in an 11x11 foot Room. It's told from Jack's perspective which I found very interesting. The world is a very different place in a child's eyes, especially a child who has only ever known life in Room. It was an excellent book! I give it five out of five stars. Matthew read it in about a day--he just couldn't stop!

Excitement!

On Monday, I accepted a long-term sub position teaching 8th grade English! I start April 1 and go until June 7; it's not the end of the school year (school ends June 13) but I need to be at summer camp on day one (June 10) but everyone said it was acceptable. I'm pretty excited AND super nervous to take this teaching position. Student Teaching was not the best time in my life and I'm very worried that I'm going to be overly stressed and a generally unpleasant person to be around. I'm going to try very very very hard to not get super cranky with Matthew or my family and friends. All in all, I'm really excited about the job and glad that my years of subbing are paying off in form of a teaching position!
