wow. so i attempted to write a post the other day, but fell asleep while getting it together. haha. it was a long week! i had an amazing interview at a new school. i really liked the school. it's called brooklyn community media arts high school. it's an alternative high school with a strong focus on journalism. because i love journalism, i was immediately interested in this school. they got back to me almost immediately and scheduled me for a group interview, which is their procedure for hiring. i was kind of annoyed because i'm thinking to myself, i have been teaching for 2 years, and i don't need to be treated like "oooh i've never seen a classroom, i'm scared." anywho, i did the 3-hour long interview, which was tfa style: a discussion, 5-minute demo lesson, and a personal interview. i knew it went well because i seemed to make everyone smile, laugh and think. they called me the very next day and asked me to come in on weds. afternoon (coming up this week) to do a lesson for the 10th grade english class on romeo and juliet. it's apparent that they most likely want to hire me, but why another lesson? sigh. this is too much. although i really liked the teachers, and thought the overall school atmosphere was positive, the school was extremely small and on the floor of another school building. also, the lighting in the building was extremely dim, which i know over time would make me depressed. sigh. so what do i do?
i have an interview at a charter high school tomorrow morning. i am really excited because the school sounds like an intellectual haven, filled with lots of room for professinal development. it is called the williamsburg charter high school. strong curriculum, smart students, and an intensive charter environment, which i think would be much better for me. plus, more pay of course...hey, i have to admit that i must think about my salary. whew. so tomorrow is the big day and i must say that i am feeling interviewed out! i just want it to be over and secure another position for next year. my interview tomorrow includes a school tour, and a roundtable interview with administrators, teachers, and students! i think that is such a cool concept and i cannot wait! so hopefully at the end of this week, i will have secured a position elsewhere...
in other news, one of my students sent me a "happy mother's day email". it was so sweet. she wrote: "i know you are not a mother yet, but you are like a mother to me, and when you have kids they are going to be so lucky to have you." that made me cry...awww, i love my students so much. i really do.
i sent my mom and mother-in-law mother's day plants/bouquets...although it was a bit pricey, they both loved it!!! that made me happy. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!
my husband and i got a new bed yesterday! it's a sleigh bed and its amazing. to make a long story short, we BROKE our last bed....AHEM! AHEM! won't get into those details, but let's just say, we show each other intense amounts of affection...hahaha. so yeah, this new bed will never break down. in the furniture store, my husband kept grapping the headboards of each bed to ensure sturdiness. haha. one woman stared as he did this and he said: "please excuse us, but we have experience with beds not being strong." hahaha. i couldn't even look the woman in the eye at that point. so anyway, NEW SLEIGH BED IN THE HOUSE!!!
last but not least, i cannot wait to have children. i just cannot wait. ahhhhhhh, what a beautiful day it will be.
peace & nappiness
