My first job interview in CA
So in about an hour I will be leaving for my first job interview here in Oakland.
I am applying to work for an after school program tutoring 3-5th graders in math. The job posting said it paid $20 and hour!
I will be attending an informational session with the other applicants, and then having a teacher's audition. This means that I will have to teach a lesson on a non-academic subject for 3-5 minutes. I racked my brains long and hard to come up with the best thing to do, and have finally settled on "The Art of the Eggplant-o-lantern". I have three eggplants, one that has not been carved at all, one that has a base and it hollowed out, and a finished product. Eggplants have been such an important part of my life, I only hope I can share the joy of this activity with the others that will be there.
I am very nervous, but also very excited. This would be a great job for me, and also allow me to have another job, like at a coffee shop or something.
I will post later today sometime to let you all know how it went. I will hear back from the decision making people by the 28th.
In other news, Alana broke our heater last night. I don't really know if it was her fault or not, but she was drying a hoodie on it, and now it doesn't work. Thank goodness we don't live in MA. The weather here is pleasant enough that it's not a big deal. Also, I've been hanging out with a bunch of kids and it is fun fun fun. A friend of mine came by last night and he had bought me an airport extreme card for my computer! I'm not sure how to use it or anything yet, but I am very excited none the less.
