Drumroll please...it's a List.

I made a long, arduous hike to my car a while ago to retrieve my bag containing items to prevent boredom in various situations- especially useful during non-elementary school subbing. However, the teacher left her computer logged on for me so I have instead been reading up on blogs, looking at wedding stuff, etc. This has caused me to want to update my blog, but I really don't know what to say. Therefore, here is "Kelli's First Blogging List" (try to contain your excitement). I have decided to curb the randomness and restrict this list to the joys of substitute teaching...in no particular order.

• Every day is a new situation. No cubical farm monotony here.
• It's fun to be directionally impaired and try to remember directions to and the layouts of about ten different places (so far).
• Flexible schedule.
• Sometimes not knowing, when you go to bed, if you'll work in the morning or not.
• Occasionally getting to feel like you're making a difference... or at least making someone's day a little better.
• Lots of movies.
• Re-learning all the things that were crammed down your throat in school, but never stuck... and actually enjoying it this time.
• School lunch is only $2.65! (and worth every penny)
• Getting paid to read... or do newspaper puzzles... or update blogs!
• Getting out at 2:30 or 3-ish.
• Seeing "the other side" of school... like where the teachers go that nobody else can.
• Reading fun stories to children.
• Ah! the smell of hand sanitizer.
• Watching other people struggle with Chemistry and secretly laughing at them.
• Freaking people out when you actually know the subject matter.
• Spring Break!! (break: good; paycheck: bad)
• Not having to make lesson plans, grade papers, or do homework.
• Kids are funny... all ages, different amusements.

I'm sure I could think of more if I really tried, but maybe I'll post an addendum later. I hope you enjoyed it.
