Yippee! I got a new job!
« on: October 24, 2006, 09:27:33 am »
So, not many of you know, but this transition to LA has been a rough one. Not only is lack of grass and wierdos on the street stressful at times but not having a good job that paid well and made me happy added to the stress. Well, I am happy to say that I am stressed no longer.

After an interview today, a full hour long demo lesson in front of a classroom of 35 kids and 7 teachers, I got offered a great job with a great school. I'm now the 6th grade writing teacher. The best part of the school (besides the fact that I'm making way more money) is that it is only 3.5 miles away from my home and lunch is long enough to come home to take Bear out to potty everday! I'm so happy!!
Hugs,

Congrats!! You'll do great as a 6th grade writing teacher, and the kids will love you! And that is great the school is so close, and the lunch break is long enough for you to be with Bear.
