Here it is almost the end of summer and I have yet to officially have a teaching job. While I am still waiting to hear on the part-time 2nd position, I have to say that I am starting to get impatient. Luckily, a few days ago a first grade position opened up at a different school! As soon as I saw the posting I began dancing around with excitement. Not only is it another opportunity to apply but it is in the first grade. I can not be more excited! I have grown to LOVE first grade and I can't imagine teaching anything different (although I would because I can and because I'm so desperate at this point-I would even teach 5th...and that's stretching it!).
After I looked at the posting and re-read it to make sure it was legit, I immediately began throwing all my application stuff together. It was much easier the second time around! And with already one interview under my belt, I can go in to an interview and know what to expect. Let's be honest....interviews the second worst part to job hunting...the first being being the newbie and that first day...I dunno about you all but I hated being the new person and I absolutely hated the very first day. Although I don't think I'll feel that way as a teacher....the first day as a first year teacher may be a little scary but it's going to be so exciting.
Now my application and all that other good stuff is on it's way to the desk to the superintendent. Can I get a WOO HOO! Now once again I am a contestant in the waiting game.BLAH! (signal jeopardy theme song....)
