Books

I've basically been looking for books in two places: Goodwill and Ebay. Goodwill they are .79 to $1 and Ebay there's quite a range, but you can usually get em pretty cheap. These are my new addictions and I now have way too many books for my own good.

As for updates on the job search: I've been on three interviews, but I initiated two out of those three (as in just showed up and they ended up interviewing me.) The one that the school actually called me about ended up having to be a phone interview because I was at my sister's wedding when she called, and wouldn't be back in FL for awhile. (And when I say I was at my sister's wedding, I mean I was actually AT the wedding...I was walking down the aisle in 15 minutes.) I was supposed to hear about the job last week sometime, but the principal hasn't even notified the district about her recommendations yet, so that's frustrating. (The principals don't do the actual hiring, they make recommendations and the district hires people.)

One of the other two schools I interviewed at seems to be a good lead, but again, it's a waiting game =( The principal apparently knew someone who used to teach at Peabody, so she was really impressed with that aspect of my resume. And, she's trying to lower her teacher-student ratio, so she's making a lot of new hires. However, when I "interviewed" they weren't technically hiring yet, so she said she would be talking to her vice principal and getting back to me later...and that was awhile ago. I just want a job!!!!

I miss you all!! Hope everyone is having a great summer!
