so the waiting continues...

so i had my first "big girl" teaching job interview on friday afternoon...and before i continue let me note that i had less than an hour to prepare for this interview. anyways, i got a text from my cooperating teacher from my first placement (mrs. pat) asking if i wanted to come in for an interview, and obviously i said yes! so i have to run around, shave, attempt to straighten my hair and get ready for an interview...so i get ready and get to the school eary and the interview starts. i think it went over really well for the fact that i had very very little time to prepare. it was an interview team of 4 women, the principal, the instructional coach-who knew me from when i student taught, my cooperating teacher-who obviously knew me from when i student taught, and then one of the other 4th grade teachers. they were all really nice and it was a pretty smooth interview. i left and got ready to head to memphis and on my way i texted my cooperating teacher to just thank her for the text message and the opportunity and her response was your welcome and we will talk later...could be a good we will talk later or a bad, didn't know. anyways on my way to memphis i get a call from mrs. pat and basically i didnt get the job. out of the 8 they interviewed, i was in the "top 3" and got beat out by someone who has more experience with think link-one of the tests they do to monitor students' progress. so major bummer and i am starting to freak out about the fact that school will start in the next 2 weeks and i have no idea a. where i will be b. if i will be someone or c. what i will do if i don't get a teaching job...the principals start back from their summer breaks tomorrow so i plan on calling the principal at one of the other schools where i have some major connections and apparently the principal already "knows my name" from some of these connections. hopefully God will stop letting me hang here and freak out and point me in the right direction! i also have my stuff in at all the surrounding counties and will send my stuff into Martin schools tomorrow-another friend has some connections up there!!

anyways, off to work on the apartment for a little while!
