Waiting Game

Playing the waiting game…
It is almost my nap time…my eyes are getting heavy. Yesterday I spent all day in my car driving….I could probably tell you how many times I sang the same exact song over and over again. I managed to fit in 3 interviews in all different directions in to one 8hour school day and still make it back home so that I wouldn’t miss the farm field trip my kindergarteners have been looking forward to.
I’m playing the waiting game….sitting and waiting so I can go on to the next step of planning where I’m going to live, what grade I have to prep for, what role I have to take on next. I have had three interviews and another school (4) that offered me a position straight up—which I turned down. I have heard back from one school today….and still want to hold out that better offers that may arise. I’m still waiting, I have more interviews that I’m lining up as the phone calls come in this week. I’m not stressing out yet, heck I didn’t even prep for my interview…(thought that might be a little to nerve racking for me)

I'm just waiting....what is next?

Direction

Today pastor brought up how most of us are looking for direction in life. I know I’m not the only one. I will say that things seem to be fitting into place. I don’t have a job yet, but I’m not worried. I’m not sure where I’m going to be living come July, but I’m not worried. I am more excited than anything. I can’t wait to have my own classroom, teach thing that I want to teach (following standards J) I can’t wait to be some where new…taking that next step in my life. I know that it will be hard going somewhere and not knowing anybody. I promise you this…I’m not going to be hanging out with parents and teachers all the time….I need to find a hobby maybe something athletic that I can find some friends. I guess you could say I’m concerned with teaching consuming my life. I don’t want that to happen…I know it has for the most part now. The only time I have seen my friends this month is when I had to call them to come help me jump my car this week. Graduation is like 5 weeks away, I can’t believe college is almost done.

Can you believe that March is over and April is here? Last year I played some great April fool's jokes...not one trick this year :-(

God Bless, have a wonderful week!
