My homily is delivered. I was as much myself as I could be, which is the best thing that could have happened. It gives them the best idea of whether we are a good match or not. I am finally old enough to know that in matters like this (as in matters of love, though I am out of the game), the important thing is that a good match be made. If what I did today isn't what they want, then I don't want to work for them. I am not interested in beginning a job that is a draining struggle.
I think, though, that we are well-suited. The kids and faculty seemed receptive. I will be disappointed if I'm not hired, but I think I will also be at peace.
Now there's kind of a rush on to get Sebastian admitted in the case that I am hired. I had hoped to be able to hold off on applying until I had word so that we don't waste the $60 application fee, but since we're in the last week of school and he has to do a sit-in with a class, I think we're just going to have to bite it. And quick!
