Hail to the Victors Valiant
It happened. I can't believe it, but it happened: I have a job for this school year!!! I will be returning to the home of the mighty wildcats, Mt. Spokane High School, to teach in the social studies department. I think it's junior American history and sophomore world history... I don't know for sure though, I was hyperventilating by the time they got to that small detail (two seconds into the conversation). As we all know, laconism is not my strong suit, but I was speechless. The principal extended the offer, I laughed and said "Are you kidding me?" Oh so eloquent, I know, and I then proceeded to experience a range of emotions from complete euphoria to absolute fear and nausea in about 10 seconds. Three weeks to plan two preps... I can do this, right? That's what these past five years have been for, right?? Yes we can! Or something like that. At least I already know the fight song.

That is cool and weird. You have come full circle. Don't go getting all nostalgic and forgetting how to teach. I Haven't been back to Spokane for like 5 or 6 years. Where has the time gone?
