I HAVE A JOB!!!

I start TOMORROW at Northwest Middle School in the Salt Lake District as an 8th grade science teacher!  I am in shock.  Students start school on MONDAY!!  I have SO much to do!!

Nope

I still do not have a contract to teach.  I did not get the job at the school that I wanted to teach at.  We have absolutely no idea what that means.  We have no idea what I will be doing.  School starts in 2 weeks.  It will be hard to get a job at this point.  So, right now....I have no clue.  That is my answer to almost everything right now.

Waiting....

There are things that I want to talk about.  Like the wonderful thunderstorm that is dumping rain and making my house cool and my grass green.  It smells wonderful.  But all of that beauty is being overshadowed by the fact that I do not know if I have a job.

I know I only interviewed today.  I shouldn't expect a call so soon, but it is hard to not have a call because on Wednesday I interviewed at the same school and I got a call that day to tell me that I didn't get the job but they wanted me to come and interview for another job that was available...the job I REALLY wanted.  It is still over a half an hour away from the time that I heard the news on Monday.  I got the call at exactly 4:01 pm; right when I was preparing for my class.  So, I sit and I wait.  Today has gone by the slowest I have ever had a day go by.  I can't believe it has only been 5 hours since the interview.  It seems like ages.  I didn't want to post because I didn't have the news, but I have to type things out so that I don't go out of my mind!!  I am an odd one, but that is who I am.  I still have faith and hope so that is all I can do right now.

Job Interview

I go in for an 8th grade science teaching position tomorrow.  I am quite hopeful that I will get this job.  If I don't. sign me up for substituting because I don't think that I would be able to get a job with school starting so soon.  This is honestly so nerve wracking.  I do not do so well with the unexpected.

My classes are over TODAY!  I literally don't have anything to do after today.  I am planning on the lessons that I will be doing.  I am starting to plan my first days of school just in case.

New Hobby

Because of all of the techy stuff that I have been able to learn this last summer I have found a new hobby.  I know how to make blinkies.  If you don't know what those are, that is okay.  I didn't know what they were until I made it into the message board world.  This is an example:




It isn't much.  It is just layering things within Photoshop and making a little movie out of it.  I think that it is really fun to be able to make these.  This is the one that I made today.




I think that it is cute for being the first blinkie that I have ever created.  I am starting to build up my digital library of trinkets, stitches, paper clips, papers, etc.  I am really glad that I have an external hard drive just for me.  I would fill up my computer far too fast if I didn't have it.  I am having fun.
