Well, just a quick note before bed. The job fair, with all its hype and high expectations, was incredibly disappointing. Goose Creek CISD did not show up, like they had planned to. There were no other schools from Texas there. The whole thing was kind of a big waste of time, except I got to wear one of my cute new suits, curl my hair, and socialize while my friends went on interviews for schools in Alabama.

I did speak to a woman who teaches at Riverwood Classical School, a private school that is run out of the church I go to when I'm in town on the weekends. I don't have the time or the know how to explain what a classical school really is, but basically it's a model of developing in students logical and rhetorical skills while in the context of Western Civilization and Biblical teaching. I had a great conversation with the woman about teaching reading and writing strategies. Unfortunately, Riverwood is only K-6 (and, of course, they are in Alabama), but the woman showed me a link to where I could look for a Classical School in Houston to apply to. I may actually see what jobs are available, although I feel like my public education and my public educator training has left me vastly unprepared for such a job. Oh well.

However, I did just complete the MASSIVE application to Goose Creek CISD, with the exception of uploading some letters of recommendation. Dad was wonderful and contacted them when I called him crying about them not showing up (and me feeling like I had really set myself up for how disappointed I was). He got me two contacts who have told me to forward my information to them. Every little bit helps!

Just trying to trust God on this job situation. He has never let me down because I know that He is sovereign and has a plan. I will just have to be patient and wait to find out what that is.

The best part of all this is... SPRING BREAK IS ALMOST HERE! Yesssssss.
