meh
I called the Fabulous Middle School yesterday and left a message for the principal, who left me a message today. First, he didn't call me back on Friday because of a family emergency. Most importantly, I did not get the job. However, he said how much he liked me. The word "phenomenal" was used. He said he had talked to the other principals and department heads in the district and told them he could recommend a great teacher (me). So...yay? I guess I have to take any good news where I find it. I think I'm going to try to call back or e-mail tomorrow just to thank him for his kind words. It probably also wouldn't be a bad idea to try to sub in that district. It's a hefty commute for subbing, but I've also had no luck getting in contact with anyone in the near-by towns. Eh. Guess I'll see tomorrow.
So yeah...today was the first day for teachers in the majority of school districts here. That sucks. I've had to read a lot of Facebook status updates about decorating classrooms and whatnot. Not fun. Today I sent $15 worth of faxes to some tutoring companies for a part-time job. I'll follow up with them on Thursday, which is also when I'll try to contact the near-by schools for subbing again. So...I kind of have nothing to do tomorrow, which is not good. I should probably find a way to keep myself busy on the first real day of school.
But I am looking forward to the end of this week. My sister got Friday off, so I'm staying over at her place on Thursday and then we're going to the Met the next day, which I've been trying to do all summer. Sister + Museum = Yay!
My other bright side is that I've decided that, barring a real job or something that looks like it could extend into the next school year, I'm moving to Boston. I don't have a set date yet - I'm ideally hoping for April (so I don't have to spend another birthday living with my parents), but more realistically thinking of July. This all pretty much depends on how much I'm able to work between now and then. I'm actually thinking of trying to get a job at a Starbucks here so I can easily transfer when I move (also one of my good friends pretty much has in own store in Boston). But that's a last resort. Right now, the Boston craigslist apartment section is my porn.
Meh...don't know if I'm happy or sad right now.
