I’m still waiting to hear back from Texas. I enjoyed my stay there even though I was sick nearly the entire time. I am trying to wait patiently, but (being the analytical person that I am) I have so many thoughts running through my head right now. I have a couple of other options with one being somewhat time-sensitive so I hope to hear back soon. I think a week is plenty of time for them to decide–especially considering they said they would probably call this past weekend. I have had two more calls from schools in the last week. One is about 2.5 hours away from my parents home, and one is in Michigan. I told them I might be accepting another position, but hopefully if I get turned down from Texas one of those two schools might still have an opening. I got into grad school for the spring, but they want a (rather large)confirmation fee by this week to hold my spot. I just know that I don’t want to live here anymore. It’s time to move on; I’m just not sure where I’m headed. I hope to have some more interesting news to share soon.
I just got a new “group assistant” at work which makes me now officially the head teacher in the room. I was a teacher all along, but I deferred to my coworker because she is more experienced. I am less than thrilled with the new help, but I only have a few more weeks at work anyway. The person I had been working with has been moved to teach the 4’s class. I’m happy for her, but I miss working with someone who has the routine down.
