What's your current job? 8th grade math and gym teacher. Loooove it!
Favorite way to relax? Read random young adult fiction (HP, Alligient, Maze Runner series, etc.) and play with my son. Camp, hike, work out.
Any hobbies? I love to throw mud a.k.a. pottery ❤️ DH bought me a wheel for my first Mother’s Day and I love creating new things on it. It’s my relaxation when DS is taking his nap.
Favorite way to spend a Friday night? @liliumstargazer13 meeeeeee too! Friday Night happy hour with teachers is my fave! I run the after school “choir practice” for our school social committee. It’s been hard hiding the pregnancy when I’m the one designated to get us all together to drink a cocktail. I’ve had to push to be the first one at the table lately.
@MaggieG183 Props to you for teaching 8th grade! I love teaching 6th grade, and last year they needed me to take on one section of 8th grade...there's no way I could teach 8th grade full time. That one 8th grade class was my challenge all year long. Though the be fair, this particular 8th grade class was a doozy; DH taught at the high school our middle school fed and his buddy there told him yesterday that during their freshman meeting this year they had to call a second meeting, during which they had to kick out four students for misbehaviors.
@liliumstargazer13 what brews did you win awards for? (That’s so cool!) DH used to be really into homebrewing but since we had D1 and moved across the country for his career he hasn’t done it much at all. I think maybe one batch in the past 5 years.
@imrachellea Isn’t it amazing how whole classes can have “personalities”? This year’s class is so darn nice but they are easily the chattiest kids I’ve ever met. They literally cannot stop talking.
I just love teaching middle school, 8th in particular. I initially was in 6th and looooved it and when I chose to move to 8th I thought I would die! But, man! I love it even more! They need the support and guidance so much before they head to high school and I am happy that they look to me as a “big sister” for that support and advice. I’m the youngest teacher on my team (at 35!) and the kids gravitate to me for that sort of support. I’m glad I can be there for them.
@imrachellea I feel the exact opposite! I used to teach 8th grade in NYC, and I had to pick up a section of 6th grade one year. It was torture!! They are so young and whiny and have almost nothing interesting to say, haha. But it takes all kinds to teach all ages.
@MaggieG183 I feel ya! We had open school night last week, so the team went out for dinner/drinks between the end of school/start of open house. Luckily this wasn't the normal drinking, so I could sip my one beer. When I used to teach in the city, we would go out for hours with pitchers and drinking games. My current team couldn't keep up, haha.
@stringofhearts My big winner and favorite is a rye ipa, dry hopped with Citra and Centennial hops. It tastes a little like an unpeeled grapefruit, very delicious.
What's your current job? Right now I'm unemployed. I just graduated nursing school and am waiting to take the NCLEX. When I pass, I'm hoping to get a job in an obgyn clinic until after baby, and then I'll be applying for a residency in labor and delivery.
Favorite way to relax? Baths, hot tubs, binge watching my favorite shows.
Any hobbies? Crochet, reading
Favorite way to spend a Friday night? Spending time with my family.
Suuuper late to this, but work has been insane this past week so I had to actually be productive!
What's your current job? Operations Manager at a cyber security company.
Favorite way to relax? Snuggle up on the couch with my husband watching TV. I look forward to it every day. We watch through all kinds of different shows together. We finished Chuck not too long ago and now we're watching The Office. We'll probably start Parks and Rec for the 7th time after we finish it lol. Something just for myself though, I love taking a bath with a Lush bath bomb and beer/wine or a hot cup of tea.
Any hobbies? I love to read and make it a point to try and read a few pages every night before bed. I also made myself a little reading nook in my loft office that's a cozy spot to relax!
Favorite way to spend a Friday night? I like going out to dinner, spending some time with family and then relaxing with a cozy blanket and a good show or movie. I used to love going out, but I am such a homebody now.
