Have moved schools so I wont get full retirement from anyone. But have enough investments that I want to be done by the time I am 60. I am 53. Seven years to get through this mess seems right.

That would make 37 years. That is long enough.

I do have to switch disciplines next year. Earth Science to Physical Science. Not excited but will spend most of the summer building unit plans and lesson plans. So if anyone wants to send me some 8th grade Physical Science stuff-I would gladly accept it.

IF I find an Earth Science position that I am interested in, I would apply and accept it if offered. Not interested in going back to public school though.

DJ-heading to philly tomorrow. Driving and pulling a trailer again.

I just spent the last 4 summers in a row working on changing up my curriculum, I am finally taking a summer off.

I have taught Physical Science in the past. I am strictly Bio now. But I've done a lot of fun stuff with Physical science. There are a lot of cool ideas in the Middle Level FOSS kit. I didn't like Physics and Chem in college, but I love teaching it because it is so easy to do lots of hands on stuff to teach the concepts. If you need help with ideas message me and I'll see what I have.

I just got back from Philly yesterday! I took the family to see Coldplay at the Linc. Drove all the way home that night. Went to bed at 4, got up at 7, and went to school for the last day (and somehow played a volleyball game against the kids on 3 hours of sleep).
