!!!

Lately I've been discouraged.  I turned in application after application and went to interview after interview and it looked like I was still going to be working as a receptionist.  Don't get me wrong, I'm very thankful for my job, but I went to college for 4 years for a reason.

I had an interview yesterday, and by yesterdays post I'm sure you can tell how optimistic I was about getting that job.  Apparently, they like their teachers to look like children because I got the job!  I'm so excited to be a teacher!  I feel so relieved and like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.  I can't wait!!

Interviews

This morning I had a job interview for a middle school in Iron County.  As I was sitting in the district offices waiting for my interview, this is the conversation I heard:

Random lady in office: "Who is that kid sitting out there?"
Another random lady:  "What kid?"
Then I saw eyes peeping around the receptionist window.  I looked around to see what kid they were talking about, only to find out I was the only person sitting there.  I was the kid.
Second random lady:  "I don't know who that is.  Why did they send a kid to the district office?"
First random lady:  "I don't know..."
Receptionist:  "Uh...she is here for an interview."
Both ladies: "Oh."

First of all, child or not I do have ears and can hear everything you are saying.  Second, thanks for the confidence builder before my interview.  Needless to say, I'd be willing to bet I didn't get that job.

On a lighter note, I decided to stop and get hot chocolate on my way home.  I drove all the way to Cedar, so I figured I should at least get something out of it.  The lady at Starbucks convinced me to add coconut to my hot chocolate.  It was heavenly.  I'm pretty sure that drink changed my life forever.
