I got called for an interview later this week. I was so excited that I forgot to ask the principal what grade it's for! I tried to call back, but no one answered, and then I figured that I'd feel really dumb to leave a voicemail saying that I forgot to ask and she forgot to say, so I am just going to hope that I'm interviewing for kindergarten or first grade. I just hope it's not for 4th or 5th, since I've never taught either. While there's a part of me that would really prefer to have a baby this fall, I also wouldn't mind cashing some paychecks first. May as well start socking away the money for Adoption #2 while we can, right?
It's funny to think how quickly things can change. I might have to prepare a classroom next week. I'm not holding my breath though, because I've been on a bazillion interviews already this summer (and all during last year too) and I haven't gotten those either. But it's sure fun to hope....
And, if nothing else, if I do get a job, I'll have a place to wear all those skirts and sweaters and boots I saw in the catalogs yesterday!
oooh! praying for you!!!
ReplyDeletekindergarten and first are the only grades i'm willing to teach...although, sometimes, it'd be nice to have my students understand what i'm asking of them the first time. haha. does that make me a bad teacher?
don't answer that!
p.s. where in CT are you? you don't have to answer that here. i went to school in western MA, an hour outside of hardford. i used to fly into bradley all the time!
