I really really need a job!!

I am in such a crabby mood today! I should be happy that I ended up only working 4 hours instead of 6, but the fear of not having a job lined up for this fall is overriding all other emotions. I really, really do not know what I will do if I am not called for any interviews. New teacher orientation begins the 22nd so I have very little time left to be hired. It's just an irritating process in general. I don't know about any openings in the district so I cannot pursue anything. My former principal will pass my name around during the principals meetings and I have to hope he says fabulous things and that the district will be needing more teachers! I had remained optimistic all summer but now I'm starting to worry...even though I was told that if I was going to be rehired it would be during August.

If I don't get hired I seriously don't know what I'll do. I mean I will have to sub, but I know I will not enjoy doing that everyday. I guess subbing does have its perks; I can choose the days I want to work and never have to take any work home with me. Still, I didn't go to college to watch over another teachers classroom, I went to college to have my own.

I hate wanting something so badly and having no idea if I'll get it or not. All I can do now is prepare like crazy for potential interviews and keep my fingers crossed.

On a happier note I turn 24 on Thursday :) Turning 24 really isn't all that exciting but I love cake, and dinner, and cards, and presents... I think Andy is taking me out for an evening of mini golf and dinner, exactly what I asked for. I'm not very high maintenance when it comes to going out. I'd be fine with going to Pizza Hut, actually that does sound pretty tastey, I'll have to suggest that. When he asked what I wanted for my birthday I told him that I would like an engagement ring, but I have a feeling I'll be getting a massage which was number 2 on my list of gift ideas so I guess I can't complain ;)
