I know, I know...it has been a very long time since my last post. Let's just say my life has gotten very busy. I started my teacher credential program at Cal State Fullerton in January. My courses are online and I have regular projects and papers that I submit. On top of this I have seminars in Fullerton every term. Twice a week I have fieldwork. I go to an elementary school and observe the class, make copies, work with small groups, and generally help out when needed. Once a month my advisor comes to observe my work while I teacher a lesson to the class. I have also been working one the days that I am not doing school work. I work eight hours on Mondays and Wednesdays and four hours on Fridays (usually because my big projects are due that weekend and I like to use Fridays to really finish them). So, needless to say, my life has been quite stressful as of late.
I did give my boss notice that I would be leaving the first week of August. My assignments will be getting progressively harder and I am afraid of what might happen to my school work if I keep working at my job. It is a difficult and complex job, real estate investment, and so I wanted to give my boss a lot of notice so he could find someone and train them until I leave. The last girl I worked with didn't give him enough notice before starting school, I guess...the whole thing was weird, and he complained about it for months. Now, however, I am thinking that I gave him way too much notice. He has been saying things around the office that bug me. He says things like, "the market is really bad right now and if we run out of work you are going to have be the first person I let go." I understand this, and it wouldn't bug me but for the fact that he says it almost everyday. He tries to make people feel guilty about everything. He is causing me unnecessary stress and I don't know how much longer I can take it. He is bugging my coworkers as well; but none of us can say anything because he is our boss. So many of us have talked about quitting over the last month. I really don't need any more stress in my life right now. I dread going to work each day, it wasn't like this in the beginning. The days last so long. I feel like I have no time to think anymore.
Okay, there was my vent session. My family has heard way more than that, believe me. Other than that, things are going well. My family is fine and my dog is good too! My sister goes back to school in about two weeks so I expect that I shall truly become a recluse. Here's hoping the social life picks up soon! Although I have no idea when I would fit one in. I'd better sign off, I need to be working on my ever-present homework. Take care and peace out!
