Post Mortem

I had lunch with my friend and mentor Karly yesterday. Her basic advise was: You made it through [student teaching] and that's all the reflecting you need to do."

I updated my application to include seven postions as an AVID tutor in Cobb County. Seven. I've not heard a peep from them. I also added two more teacher references on my application profile—Mr. Slade and my CT from City High. I know that I'm more than qualified to tutor, for goodness sake. Today I saw there was also a tutoring position open at a high school, which I'd really rather do because it's more in my line of interest. I also renewed my sub/supply/parapro position in Paulding Co. It's such a bummer that at the time I'm getting ready to graduate no one is hiring. Economy blues. At least I don't have it as bad as some people in the country. For that I can thank my lucky stars.

Oh, interestingly, I saw that there is a new Supply English Teacher position open at—of all places—"Hendrickson" High. I guess Elphaba is working her magic. The teacher that is going to be out and needs a long-term substitute is one of the teachers that I knew Elphaba was trying to boot out. To give the perfidious little dear credit though, I did learn a tremendous amount from her, and I'll never forget the lessons I learned while I was there with her.
