Dress For Success

So for the last few years I have been working for DCFS (Division of Child and Family Services). I love this job for various reasons. Here are some reasons in no particular order:

1. I don't like money
2. I don't like to feel good about myself
3. I like to work with drug addicts. The drugs make them very rational and level-headed.
4. I like to get reminded by juvenile court judges that I am incompetent and that I am ruining people's lives.
5. Government bureaucracy is awesome.

Unfortunately, I have also been working on a degree in education for the last few years. I recently found out that I will be doing my student teaching this January. I have been crying myself to sleep since finding out because I will have to leave the job I love to complete my degree.

I determined that I need to start dressing like a teacher. Here's my attempt:

My teacher sweater

I have a cold. Students carry germs. 

Casual Friday

Nothing says patriotism like a polo shirt with a flag on it.

Practicing my stern lecture pose.

If anyone has any wardrobe suggestions please let me know. I don't want to mess this up.

Here are a few pictures of our COLD Thanksgiving Day 5K.  It was great!  Nothing like a little exercise before the big dinner!
