Today I got the best compliment.
I met the partner of one of the teacher's I work with at the Shining Star Waldorf school and she said, after shaking my hand, that I look like a Waldorf teacher. I was wearing a long brown wool skirt and a scarf wrapped around my neck with bits of blonde and brown hair trying to escape. Something that I really strive for in any of my jobs is appropriate clothing. It can be so satisfying to look like you belong in your environment. It gives me a certain confidence and authority when I feel like my outfit matches my atmosphere.
The job at this new school was a bit rocky for me at first. In the sense that it is so different from every Waldorf school experience I've had so far, I wasn't sure how to handle it. I find I am excelling and exceeding expectations of others when I am really just doing the job as I see it before me. This position is really great for me because it's part time and permanent for what seems like as long as I would like it to be. That kind of stability is key for me and I hope I can continue to enjoy it.
Also, I watched the new Footloose with my roommates tonight. I wasn't disappointed but I think that's because I had outstandingly low expectations. All in all, not a waste of time. I could turn off my brain for an hour or so and I think that, is underrated.
