Gosh, I have not had an interview in a very, very long time. The last time was actually when I interviewed for the job at Starbucks....which I think was something like 3 years ago. Its come down to this...its tomorrow. Who knows how this thing will go? I am up against some pretty stiff competition who have the same educational experience as I do. I hate the part of the interview when they say "Why should we hire you instead of someone else?" I absolutley hate selling myself...but tomorrow I am going to have to give it my best shot. The bummer about tomorrows interview is I probably wont know if I got the job for at least 2 weeks...DARN IT! Tomorrow at 3 oclock in the afternoon is the moment in time when my life could start a whole new chapter. Excited, nervous, anxious, edgy...just ready for it to be here already.

Exciting news!
A few exciting things that are happening. I got a call yesterday informing me that I have an interview next week with the district I have always wanted to work in. I'm already nervous about it, and its still 6 days away. I am trying not to count on this job, but I want it really, really bad. Yesterday in the mail came my application for my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. This is also very exciting because it means I am one step closer to having that paper in my hot little hands that says I am qualified to be a teacher.
I am still amazed at the fact that I am done with school, I will soon have my credential, and will hopefully soon have my own classroom. I really cant believe it. Maybe its hard to believe because I am only 23. I still feel so young...and naive. I really am excited though. I am excited to start this new chapter in my life.
Next week I start my vacation. I get time off from work and school (other than having to take an online test while I am there). Vacation starts with a concert in Paso Robles on Wednesday and ends the following Thursday. I have a friend who is graciously letting me stay in her house at the coast for 3 nights. She is pretty amazing. She let Ang and I stay with her for 4th of July, and we had an AMAZING time. After we(meaning Ang, I and the kiddos) leave Tammy's (that gracious friend I was just talking about)...we will head to Pismo Beach (about 30 minutes from Tammy's) and spend 4 nights in a hotel with my parents and my sister and brother-in-law. So there will be 8 of us, we have 2 huge hotel rooms, each with 3 beds and a kitchen and all that good stuff. My parents are pretty amazing to do this for us. Its going to be amazing.

Finished!
I have a lot of thoughts running through my mind that I would love to share...but all I will say for now is....."it is finished." The student teaching phase is complete...never to be forgotten for sure. It was a time of extreme growth; I learned a lot about what I am capable of. But all that matters right now....I AM DONE!
