job interview

This morning, I went to a job interview at a local Catholic school. It was a good experience. I started out by touring the school and then had the interview. In the interview the principal told me that he had a lot of apps for second grade and not many for the middle school literature position. I am not certified for middle school, but am for elementary and all level special education. I am thinking about what I was told about the different positions, and will email the principal tomorrow. So, I just need to be thinking about which one I want to go for. Knowing that I might have a better chance with the middle school position, I just need to think about it. So, wish me luck.

The start of wedding season 2011

This past weekend was a busy one. Saturday started out with a teacher job fair. Then, I met up with my friend Stephane from Baylor. We hung out for a short time but, it was great getting to catch up. Saturday night was Carolina Cullum's wedding. It was so much fun. I thought Carolina looked so beautiful and so happy. The reception was so much fun. I enjoyed seeing friends, family and hearing the band. B and I took a lot of great pictures of the evening. We enjoyed having dinner with Dealey and Trevor. Also, enjoyed catching up with friends. The band was great and I loved how they had a great mix of music. So, congratulations to Carolina and Matt.

sub system

So, I am a substitute teacher and get called to sub all the time, which is great. However, I can only be at one place at a time. A few of the sub systems for the larger districts are called by computer and the private schools have a person calling you. I was called by a local private school earlier and I told them I am already working elsewhere but to please call me next time. Since tomorrow I am already subbing at a local school and so far have been called by RISD three times to sub for tomorrow. If you can not sub they have a menu for you to select the reason why, such as working in other district, sick, etc. So, today when it called me at 4:28 PM I went through the choices and pressed the number for already working in another district. TWO minutes later at 4:30, after I pressed that the computer system called AGAIN! So, I went through the system and did the same thing. After that I went online, and told it not to call me from today at 4:40- to tomorrow at the same time. At 5:00 PM it calls AGAIN! So, I pressed star for it not to call me during this calling period, which I had already done online. This is the first time I have done that and had the computer system still call me. So, my question is why do they even have a menu if obviously, it does not matter what you push it will still call you! Frustrated, just a bit over this. Please let me know your thoughts.

scrapbooking

Scrapbooking is something that I enjoy doing. I have over the years made several different scrap books to look back to. I have made some for high school, college, studying abroad in college, and dsol debutante ball. The one I am working on now is my scrap book from Idlewild debutant ball. I participated in this one back in 2004-2005. My Mom told me she would do a scrap book for me that she wanted to. So she started it, and got a whole 3 pages done. Then, she stopped.... So, now I am finishing it. We had a bet going that I would get married before that thing was finished. So, I took it into my own hands and will hopefully have it finished to enjoy. I also, love making photo books on my macbook :) Also, I enjoy working on making other creative things on my computer. So, wish me luck!
