...weeks, that is. (The "push # phrase is a volleyball thing, in case you were wondering haha) I only have 2 weeks left until Thanksgiving break. That in turn means 2 weeks left of student teaching. Where has the stinkin' time gone? Just yesterday, it seems like I was starting my first day of college classes as a freshman. After Thanksgiving, I have exactly 5 days left down here and I most likely won't be doing much teaching. I should be observing and finishing up everything. I can't believe it's almost over. I'm so glad though. It's time to move on. Time to get a "real life" and a "real job".
Speaking of a real job, I had an interview today. It's kind of weird how it worked out and if I end up getting the job, someday I will ask how these people got my name....BUT...on Tuesday, my internship teacher got an email from the principal of Clearwater High School. The email said that they are losing a PE teacher and were wondering if my teacher's intern (me...and they called me by name) would be interested in the position. Of course, I was going to be interested! I had contacted a few schools, but had basically made up my mind to be going home and working at Sam's Club all next semester. I was actually kind of excited about doing that, to be completely honest. But, this email came through and I jumped on the opportunity. I first contacted my parents to make sure this would be even doable. Once I got the go ahead from them, I contacted the assistant principal at the high school and set up an interview time for today at 1:45pm.
That was Wednesday. That meant I had a day and a half basically to get everything ready that I needed for an interview. I needed to write a resume, get my transcripts, get my letters of recommendation, etc. Needless to say the past couple days I have been scrambling around like crazy trying to get all this stuff together. Thankfully, come this morning, I had everything nice and ready, including my spiffy outfit, which, if I may say so myself, was fantastic. :) Haha...oh boy...anyways...I went to the interview.
It went really well, I think. There were 4 people in the interview: the principal, 2 assistant principals, and the athletic director. They were all really really nice and made me feel so comfortable. They had a scripted interview paper with 6 questions on it that they apparently ask to everyone. So they went around and each took 1 or 2 questions. I took my time and answered the best I could. Thankfully, I didn't say anything really dumb! Yessssss! :) They all seemed like they were agreeing with my answers and liking them. (hopefully...lol) I think it went well...but now I have to wait to hear back from them.
I hope they let me know as quick as possible (which I know they will do because the position is for January, which is fast approaching!), because if I get the job, I all of a sudden have to find a place to live down here and all that jazz. One step at a time thought, I guess. I was just so happy to actually have had a school contact me! What a surprise blessing! We'll see if I get the job and then we'll go from there.
In other news, I watched the movie "The Mist" tonight with Milton, Chad, A-mar, Dee, and Breth. It was pretty good. It was kind of supernatural and weird, but not as scary as I thought it would be. It was a little more gory than I normally prefer, but I dealt with it. I didn't like the ending, but how many horror films usually end happily, right?
Tomorrow, I am hopefully going to a US Women's National Soccer Team game in Tampa vs. South Korea. Should be pretty exciting if all the details work out! :)
Well, I guess that's all for now. I took like 2 naps today so I'm not as tired as I would normally be right now. Although, I think I'm getting there quickly! Haha! OLLLLLDDDD LAAAAAADY! Eh, anyways...good night!
