The day just got that much better!!!

I just found out that my school isn't starting school next year until the 8th of September, last year we started the 3rd. That means that I will get 7 days of bow hunting before I go back to work! Now comes the question, what do I want to do, pack in, tree stands, spot stock, all the above, mule deer, whitetail, life is hard.

CONGRATS Teach! Life must be tough if ya have to worry about decisions like that

I have to think of something to keep we from going crazy waiting for snow to leave.  I start track practice next Wednesday and I still have over a foot on my field. I hate inside practices, the kids don't like them either. Last year we only had two outside practices before our first meet. See I have worries.

I was always upset at the teachers time off, but if they are going hunting I feel better. Make those days count. Mike

Most of my time off in the summer is spent in school taking classes with my own money so I can stay certified. Not as glamorous as it sounds. They have it so messed up that it is almost not worth teaching in this state. I have seven years of college and make 15K per year less than the average college graduate. The newest series of classes that I have to take (pro-cert) is costing me close to 4K out of my pocket and will not increase me on the salary scale. In a profession that starts at the 30K mark that is a lot of money. I usually get about 3 weeks off in the summer where I'm not in school. This year two weeks will be bow hunting. During the school year I can only take two days off, If I don't use them I loose them. But in this economy I definitely can't complain, I have a job.
