It all happens at once

Remember my last post?  About life throwing a curve ball?  Well, as I started getting my mind ready to return to work (or should I say trying) it seemed to get more difficult to accept.  Because of this I decided to look into other options.  I decided to see what was out there in the education world.  To my surprise there were many postings I was interested in (specifically part timeout of the classroom). Taking my chances I decided to apply. Considering my time crunch (we found out Chris lost his job on Sept 24th and I was to report back on Oct 3rd) I wasn't sure where things would lead, but I had to try.  I quickly revised my resume, collected letters of rec (thank you!), brushed up on my literacy knowledge, and sent in my applications.  I was a bit shocked when a couple days later I started receiving phone calls for interviews.  Oh yeah, if I wanted a new job I would have to interview.  I didn't completely comprehend this until the first one was set up.  All the feelings of beginning my teaching career flooded back.  During an interview you have 15 minutes to show you are the best candidate for such a complex job.  What a feat! So, now I had a choice...see if something happened before the 3rd or put in my leave and hope one of these opportunities worked out.  With a little hesitation I decided to put in my leave.  I will know more by tomorrow afternoon.  Until then, it is interesting how the world keeps you on your toes.
