So I retired from teaching when school ended. Went back to subbing when school started. Found out a good friend has breast cancer, so I'm taking over her class starting tomorrow until Christmas. Bye retirement! My only concern is my exercise, as I live hiking in my woods. But I do have ski trips planned for January and February. Bought a Copper season pass and have to get my money's worth - and my exercise worth!
Sorry about your friend. Hoping all goes well with her treatment. I know you thought you were retiring but just think how lucky those kiddos are to get to spend their days with someone as fabulous as you!! :) Just don't forget to get your me time in. You are totally worth it! Plus...I think it is pretty selfish to retire at 30...slacker!! ;)
Big change! I hope it goes great. Do you think you'll be on your feet even more in the classroom than you are "in retirement"?
Truly sorry about your friend's breast cancer diagnosis. I hope her treatment goes well.

I actually had a really nice first week teaching a self-contained class of only six 6th, 7th and 8th graders. Haven't heard yet how my friend is doing, but I should by next week.
Glad you're enjoying the sub assignment, sraebaer.
Hope your friend is doing well.
Retirement connotes not tiring to work. I have heard other people saying that the more you retire the more you work further. Teaching is a noble profession. You are an instrument for the kids' quest for a quality education. Good to know you have managed your personal physical activities. Multi-tasking jobs so to say.
Wow! What an experience! I can be like you when I retire. I am a professional licensed teacher, too>
How has the retirement experience been for you, and do you have any advice for someone considering retirement?
