Work news
Spent another day at the local middle school yesterday. I was kind of hoping they'd give me some more work neext week and they actually did better than that. I got offered a week of teaching art/photography at the other campus of their school when I got there in the morning. Art is not really my thing but photography would be fun so of course I jumped at it... but by the end of the day that had changed. The principal came to see me and told me she changed it to Humanities/English and Visual communications telling me she wanted me to impress them over at the other campus. On top of that she said it was officially only a week but depending on what happened with the person I'm replacing it would likely be to the end of the term and beyond.
Again, I was told that she wants to give me a contract and keep me at the school which would be awesome. The campus i'm at next week is a 15 minute walk from home. The staff there are lovely and while I haven't taught there I've had a bit of time there as a tutor and I really like the feel of the place.
So, while only a week is confirmed I've got the chance to get way more than that and if nothing else the principal and staff are obviously trying to keep me in the system so I do get a job there. Which is awesome! Since I did spend so much time there last year i'm basically being treated like i'm part of the furniture by staff who have all been fantastic. So, yeah trying not to count my chickens but being positive at the same time. Hopefully this all comes off and I get my first contract out of it.
