This Week +/-

+ I planned some awesome activities for my AP psychology classes for next week, and I convinced my principal to reimburse me for the materials. Sweet.

– I had to pay for an oil change/air filter, my personal property tax bill, and a $150 vet bill.

+ I had already budgeted for all of the above!

– Due to monsoon conditions, we had two power outages at school on Thursday, one of which happened while I was working on a PowerPoint. I lost everything. Rats.

– I tried to post October goals on Wednesday night, but had a major snafu with Blogger and the post was all garbled. I’ll try again tomorrow.

– I’m having some issues with the new teacher I’m mentoring, and my second mentee starts on Monday (yep, part way through the year). I’m going to have to find a way to finesse mentee #1 into showing a better attitude at school, and I’m not sure how to do it, while also getting mentee #2 off to a good start. Tough to say the least.

+ It is no longer summer.

+ With my paycheck yesterday I was able to boost my Freedom Fund back up to $1000.

All in all, a good week!
