Love: Four more working days until I am off for the summer.
Hate: Have been struggling to find a job at a new school for the fall. My supervisors from my last school wrote me amazing reference letters and I have had 3 interviews all at good to great high schools. The first school I am sure wasn't going to hire me based off the questions they asked. I thought I had the job from the second interview, a charter school. They asked me to provide numbers for my references, which I did the next morning, and as far as I know, the school never followed up. Sent them an email earlier in the week thanking them for the interview and again expressing interest but have not heard back. The interview I had this week went well, the administrator even told me that I gave an excellent interview, but then he said sometimes people don't get chosen because they are not the right puzzle piece at this time. I think he realized I am a great teacher, but fuck, they already knew who they were going to hire. Feeling a little dejected at the moment, but know I don't want to be back at my school in the fall. Fuck it, maybe it is time to give up the profession and join the fucking peace corps.
