"You're Fancy!"

Today I woke up to my phone ringing. I was off so I decided to stay up late last night. I was not anticipating a call at 9 in the morning. I am glad I answered it though. It was a job I had interviewed for the summer. They called to offer me the job! Yay! I am going to be a summer camp counselor for 5-8 year olds. It doesn't officially start until June 9th but they said I could start early, which I just might.

I was getting bed sores from laying in bed too much so I decided to pick up a half day sub job. I have not subbed in Austin ISD yet so that's where I started my search. I found a job at Mills Elementary in a kinder class. I swear that the class I was in had the most beautiful kids. Every single one of them was adorable. When I got there they were at lunch so I had time to talk with the teacher. She had not written any plans so while we were chatting she wrote up a schedule of what we were to do. They were the most vaguely written plans I had ever seen. We had a good day though. I went to pick them up from lunch and they were so excited to see me! One child said that I looked fancy and important. I must say that I was wearing my favorite outfit. It seemed that the day went by really fast. Before I knew it, it was time to go. I took them outside. When they saw their parents they would tell me and I would dismiss them. Every single one gave me a hug before they left. I was only there half a day and they loved me enough to hug me bye. It was one of those moments when I knew that this is what I am meant to do.
