Evaluation!

Well, I finally got my 1 year evaluation from work last night! I'd been there for one year in AUGUST, but I just now, 4 months later, got the evaluation. Anyway, it went really well, and I scored all "Superbs" and "Commendables" on it, giving me a $.20 raise. With 4 months of back pay, that turns out to be about $200 that I'll be getting added to my next paycheck. Nice.

My supervisor said the reason that I didn't get the evaluation right away like I should have was because of everything that was going on in the cage with the schedule changes and people not being happy about it. Everyone in the cage was hired under the knowledge that the schedule they were working might not ALWAYS be their schedule. So when their schedules changed because I needed to work different hours, they got mad at him and myself. So he had to remove himself from the situation for a while before he could give me a fair and objective evaluation, which I really appreciated.

So that went well, and I'm getting some extra money, and there's no hard feelings anywhere, so I'm happy with that now.

Speaking of evaluations, I also have my last evaluation from my college professor in my 4th grade classroom this Friday. I'm not really sure what I want to do during the time that he's there, though...so I have to be thinking of that. I might do a Power Point presentation or something, because my cooperating teacher in the classroom is impressed with my technology skills, and that I should show those off. Not that a Power Point presentation is THAT impressive, but whatever. :)

I got my envelopes with my graduation announcements stuffed, and now I need to take them off to the Post Office and get stamps and mail them out. I know that 90% of the people I send them to aren't going to be able to make it (not only because of short notice, but because of distance), but it's still nice to let people know that after 5.5 years of college, I'm finally done!

I wasn't excited for my high school graduation. Big deal. High school was a breeze for me, and I didn't have to try very hard at it to graduate. Granted, there were times I could have tried HARDER and gotten better grades, but I just didn't really have to put forth that much effort towards passing grades in high school. College, especially the last year, has been MUCH more challenging (obviously), and I have put forth much more work towards graduating college. I am so ready for this. And a little excited/nervous about it.

Well, that's my update for now. As I am having less and less control of the classroom now, I'm having more and more free time to be on the computer for leisure and not work. I still need to get some things typed up for my portfolio, but that can wait for another day. Heroes is on, and I need to relax a bit on the couch. Until next time!
