Back to School = $$$

Today was my first day of New Teacher Camp! Pretty exciting stuff... ha, not really... I basically just sat in a room with other new 6th grade teachers from our district and discussed curriculum all. day. long. I had to sit through science and reading curriculum instruction too even though I am not going to be teaching either of those. Oh well. I get paid $200 a day to attend teacher training and at 7 days worth we are looking at a cool $1400 added to my Sept paycheck! I also get a $2000 signing bonus because I am teaching Math! Whoever said teachers make no money was oh so mistaken! I am about to be the richest I have ever been... by a LOT (sadly).

And because I am about to come out of my 3.5 years of near poverty, I have been a little loose with the old purse strings lately! I sooo deserve to though, especially after 8 months of being ridiculously frugal during my time spent subbing! Also, it is my birthday month people!! Only 2 more weeks until yours truly turns 26! Anyway, here are some online purchase I made this evening as a little pat on the back to myself for finally getting a job as a teacher:
I am always looking for some cute coverups and I found these on sale @ venus.com! Can't wait to get them in the mail! :)

1 day of training down, 6 more to go! Oh and if you are lucky, I'll let you know tomorrow about something REALLY exciting that happened over the weekend! :) I'll keep you in suspense!

  1. We're doing training sessions this week too and it's pretty boring! I remember I was rich too when I first started teaching, then I bought a house and I'm back broke!

  7. I'm 26 in a few weeks too, 1st September! Gotta love a virgo! Glad you're feeling a bit wealthier... we don't get paid for training days but do get paid for being a core subject teacher- I received a 2,500 pound golden hello (there's no pound signs on this Aussie keyboards!) which was FAB!

    Have an awesome weekend x
