| Interviews:So, I just got back from my second interview with Ionia Public High School. I had an interview on Monday with the principal and associate superintendent. I was told that they were doing 15 of these preliminary interviews. So... I was in the top 15. Good to know. They asked me to come back today (Wednesday) for another interview where I would have to teach a lesson about the formation of the solar system. This interview was with their entire science faculty. I was really stressed, but the stress evaporated as I walked into the classroom. Taught the lesson, answered their questions.
They let me know that the next step is yet ANOTHER interview, if I am selected. The next interview would be with the superintendent.
Some funny thoughts:
They asked me what I would do if I overheard teachers in the staff room talking negative about a student. Do they really expect anyone to say "Oh, yeah, I'd jump right on that bandwagon!" or "I love verbally bashing students!"?
They asked me how I would get involved in the community. I mentioned 4-H and possibly finding a home church in the area (I did not mention that I may keep driving to Holland for church). When I mentioned find a church, the associate superintendent said something along the lines of "all right" but with a possitive emphasis and one of the staff said something to him as well. Some sort of inside joke, I assume. But I think that comment was taken on a positive note.
The science faculty had very good banter/group dynamics going on. I liked that.
Catch you all later. Sorry I am so bad at writing here.

| Life at the end of may:So, I got insurance and registration and all that for my car ('96 chevy cavalier), and I was taking it into town to have the brakes looked at... and it started making funny noises and the check engine light came on. Dang. So, I pulled over and called my brother. He looked at it, then I drove it to a place to get a diagnostic test done. There were a bunch of alarms. The guy said that maybe it was just having problems with the fuel making it misfire... so I got some engine cleaner stuff that he recommended... seems to be running alright now.
I've been house-sitting for my Aunt and Uncle. They gave me free access to their pantry in exchange for taing care of the dog and cat and watching the house. Plus, I don't have to be around my brother so much that we annoy each other into insanity. Instead, I have a quiet house with cable, good wireless internet, and running water in the kitchen (a large plus).
Today I went and watched a softball game. Shirley's little sister's game. Too bad Mary didn't get to play. Tri County won both games.
I have sent my resume/applied to 33 schools/districts total now. I just keep searching for more positive leads.
