Interview

I had an interview today!! The district secretary called me yesterday afternoon to come in this morning to interview for their four year old program. They hire their elementary teachers from this program. What a whirl wind! I found a suit, had my mom hem it and prepped for possible questions. It was a very informal interview. I still can't believe how relaxed it was. The one person was in jeans and a polo! Hopefully everything works out. I feel good and it's a chance to get my foot in the door.
I'm having my friends over that I student taught with. Shrimp carbonara!! I'll have to post the recipe later. I worked after my interview at the og and I have to vacuum and get dinner ready. I thank you so much for your good vibes and prayers and keep them coming!!

Opportunities are a knockin'

In this area you still have to know someone to get a teaching job. Even after this area is riddled with investigations from the F.B.I. I called my former criminal justice teacher and asked him to help me get into the school district by me. He's the mayor of the town over that way. He's been mayor for about five years now and I thought he could help me. I left a message Monday and he returned my phone call and said he would do his best to help me out in any way possible. If I can get my foot in the door subbing that would be great because this district does hire their subs. I worked yesterday at the og and my co-operating teacher came in and told me of an opening in her school district for the family learning center. This is where they pull their new elem teachers from. And a good friend called me and told me of an opening about an hour from here. So I stayed up and got my applications ready and they are being mailed out and dropped off today. Wish me luck!! Finally some good news ;-)

Wishing

I wish I could get pregnant right now. I wish I could get a teaching job. How long will these things take I wonder? I know that eventually I will get a job. But as for the baby part that may never happen. And that is a very hard pill to swallow.
