I got my first subbing assignment this morning, albeit a late one. I got called around 10 AM, but since this job started before lunch, I still will be paid for a full day. The school was one that was close by, so I was able to get there on my bike--which is a good thing since it is still in the shop until tomorrow.

Some people at the school recognized and remembered me, including the secretary (make friends with the secretaries, folks). There was a new principal, which was also nice, since I didn't care much for the old one.

Among the students I saw today, one of them was from "my class" at my other local grade school from last year. He must have moved. I said hi to him in the lunchroom, and asked him how he liked his new school. He seemed pretty happy as a brand new first grader. He was a fun little kindergartener. When I walked away, I heard him tell the boy sitting next to him "She used to teach at my other school."

I know that not every day will be sunshine and light, but lord is it nice to be back!
