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.

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...

Nervous and Excited.

I am excited that the group interview last night was a piece of cake. They said it was just to make sure that we were "all" there. so hehe, I am all there. (take that oscar) It was really just a bunch of us in a room talking about ourselves and why we wanted to be teachers. So I am in the program as long as all my things get turned in. Which has me worried, because they haven't received the transcripts there were mailed out on the 6th. I have the receipt that says they were mailed, and I got the one I ordered at the same time. So hopefully, the are there, and my letters of reccomendation have gotten there.
I have to LEAVE my house at 530 am tommorrow, for my tests. Yikes. They are supposed to take five hours to take, and I have to take two of them. I, in case you haven't noticed, am not fond of grammer rules. Which is why I am mostly worried about the test. There are LOTS AND LOTS of grammer questions and you have to edit. Hopefully, I get enough right to pass. (but i can always retake it, so it is not the end of the world, just seems like it.) I am also pretty sure that I want to do special education now, which means in the future I have to go take that specialization test. ( the program I am in will help me with the material i need to study, and holds study classes)
If I get into the program I have to do a two week stint in a classroom. This is mandated by the state of Il. Which means I need to talk my boss into letting me have two weeks off. The program said they would work with us and we can do it one day a week for ten weeks. Or two days for five weeks. I just can't see my company allowing me to do that. Which means I am going to start sending out resumes again. I need a job that I can work at night now! It is so ironic. I have to set up a time when I can speak to Matt about getting the days off, but I am still going to start sending out resumes cause it took me almost two months to find this job and I cannot go through that again.
On a positive note. I have been going to the gym semi-regularily. Which means I have been going at least twice a week, which is better than nothing in my opinion. One day I will go more often, we shall see when that happens.
Wish me Luck Tommorrow.

NISSAN CUBE

Thank you Nena. For giving us tickets to the auto show. Thank you Lola, for calling me and making me get out of my pajamas and really go. Thank you Thank you. I have found the car of my dreams. I love it. I want it. I wish it was being sold now. But it is not. But it will be in the spring. But I will probably have to wait until the fall. Or if I don't get teaching then, I'll have to wait for fall 2010, unless I get a BIG raise in June. We shall see.
But seriously go check the cube out. It is awesome and is so ME.

Interest Home School

So I applied for like 20 positions to be a teachers aide in schools near my soon to be new place. This was about two weeks ago, and I hadn't heard anything so I just thought it was over. But tonight when I checked my e-mail I had an e-mail from Judy at the Home School to set up an interview. It is between me and five other people, well if they are still interested in doing it. I can't wait to find out more!
I should go calm down though now.
