Job Search.

I really wish I had connections in education. My job search is not going so well. I call and call schools, and noone is hiring. A few schools that aren't hiring, told me that I could just send my resume, just in case. So I have. I've applied to suburban schools, charter schools, day schools. Nothing. Not one nibble. My school sent my resume to a CPS school, and I actually got an interview, but sadly not the job.
I am getting really worried that I will not be working in the field this year. But I will keep trying every day, and keep my fingers crossed.

Fire Pit!

So we finally broke down (well I finally talked the boy into letting me spend my money to buy) and bought a fire pit. We used it for the first time on Saturday night. It was sooo much fun. We had three of his sisters over, and we made smoores. Definitely worth the money. I can't wait to use it again.

PASSED

I passed my test. I passed my test. I passed my test.
I am now a highly qualified teacher, and certified to teach special education k-12! I am super excited.
Now I just need someone to hire me.

Almost done waiting

Well. I've told my boss. He was okay with it, then he called back to say he wasn't. But I will not be at work starting monday for a week. I actually feel a lot guilty, but I know it is for the best. I need to get the experience in, and I need to be out looking for jobs. Keep your fingers crossed for my scores, I get them tommorrow at 5.

Anxious

Well obviously I'm still anxious for my test results. But now I'm anxious for another reason. I just asked my boss today(well if leaving him a voice mail, cause he didn't answer, and then faxing him the request as well, counts) if I can have next week off. Yep. The whole week. I am asking for a week off three days in advance, while one csr is on vacation for a month, and we lost four accounts. I am sure this is going to end well. I am so worried about what he is going to say. I need the time off, because I have the opportunity to do some more practicum work. And hopefully to see how someone properly manages a classroom. I would also get to work with special education students, which is something that would be amazing, since I haven't yet, and that is who I want to teach. I really need to do this, so that I can get more experience, so that principals will want to hire me! I am going to do it. I just hope I can hang onto this job for a little while longer while I sort things out, you know, just in case I don't pass the test.
I'll be slightly jumpy all day-weeks end long, until I get news. ARGH!

Happy Birthday Sharon Ann

Happy Birthday Mommy. Thanks for being you. Sorry Joe and I aren't with you. But I will see you soonish. Hope you have a great day! Love ya.

Waiting

Waiting.
This is what I have been doing for months now.
Waiting for the end of the day.
Waiting for classes to start.
Waiting for classes to end.
Waiting for my test results.
Waiting to get called for interviews.
Waiting to be a TEACHER.
So far, the end of the day at my job currently feels like it never comes, and when it does, it feels like a split second later and I'm right back to waiting for the end of the day. I know I should be happy that I have a job, and am working steadily. But I'd really like a teaching job please. But I'm still waiting for those test results. I get them on friday at 5pm. Which means monday I can start aggresively looking for a job, since I'll be certified. (if I pass) I am so nervous. And I am going to be so upset if I do not pass the test. I got all A's in the jumpstart program, so I would think that means I should pass the test, since we covered that material. But only time will tell. It is time for more waiting...

Presents

I am currently trying to figure out what to get my man for his birthday. He says not to get him anything. Ha. That is so not going to happen. The thing is I really have no idea what to get him. He doesn't really want anything, and the things I know that he wants I completely believe that he won't ever use them. Cause that is how we are. Luckily I do have until November. I just like to get things done early!

Good, bad, good, bad

So Oscar's sister Mayra decided to goto six flags yesterday, did we want to go? Why yes we did!
So we go over to pick them up, and Nena made us breakfast, yum yum. Thanks Nena.
So then we leave, we drive, we drive, we get on the highway we start to hear, bump, bump, bump, and the car starts shaking. WOOHOO FLAT TIRE. So we pull over into the divider cause we couldn't get all the way over, and Oscar gets out of the car and fixes the tire.
So we are finally on our way again. So then we get to six flags and are enjoying ourselves. We then go on their new pirate ride. It was not fun. we rode around on a little boat, and got soaked by the people on the bridge. I was completely and utterly drenched. Completely drenched. So we went back to the car, and changed into our bathing suits. We go and have fun in the waterpark, and cross our fingers that our clothes dry. The sun finally comes out, and we move to go back to the car. My clothes are the only ones that are not dry, So I leave my bathing suit on with my pink coverup.
So then we goto see a show, then leave to get dinner, and plan to come back. As we are leaving burger king, the rain opens up and downpours, so we must head home.
It was a very interesting day to say the least. But we did enjoy ourselves.
