FINALLY!!!

As most of you know, I have been looking for a teaching job for a couple months now. As I went through college, my professors all said, "don't worry-- you'll definitely have a job by the time you graduate."

Uh, wrong.

My casual job search quickly turned into a panic as I looked and looked for jobs and found out that not only were many districts not hiring, but some were even letting teachers go. I checked the postings daily (or more), traveled to at least 15 schools to try to get my foot in the door, and ended up going through 7 interviews.

And now...

I HAVE A JOB!!!

Yesterday I got a surprise phone call from a principal who had interviewed me about a month ago. She ended up having a position suddenly open up, and remembered how fabulous I was. (Well, who could forget???) She offered me the job, and after a hectic couple of hours trying to figure out my life, I said YES!

I am going to be at Oak Hollow Elementary teaching... 6th grade. I know.

I am so excited to be over the interviewing process, and I'm hoping that the stress of starting my career won't happen for a couple weeks, so I can just enjoy this for a while. :)
