So I'm finally ready and have a spare moment to tell you about my trip since I know, Internet, that you have been waiting with baited breath to hear about it...NOT! We left last Tuesday right after B got done with work. He also had to run to the doctor because he's been having some stomach problems recently which we think are now GERD. We got there late on Tuesday night. Wednesday morning I had two interviews out in the country. I got to see some really beautiful country that I'd never seen before (in my home state) as well as the 1st and only Main Street oil well, and a casino that I've heard tons about but I'm thinking good things come in small packages in that particular instance. My camera battery was recharged, but the date wouldn't reset which is why it says 1/1/04. LOL.
Needless to say I learned something last Wednesday which was that I am not a good fit for a rural country school anymore...too much time in the "hood" has changed me, not good or bad just different. Thursday was spent with me getting up at the crack of freaking dawn and going to Oklahoma State University for a job fair. I did the browsing in the morning and then interviewed in the afternoon. I ended up having 3 hours of touring and shopping on my hands which was GREAT!
Edmond Low Library! The bells were ringing with the fight song as I walked by. It was just even better than when I went there because I didn't have any stress about classes to think about and I was able to enjoy and appreciate the campus again. I had 4 interviews with 4 job offers when I finished. I was really stoked about it all and went ahead and made my mind up that I was going to work for T*lsa Public Schools and took my contract home to look over. On the way back to the ILs my favorite thing about spring in Oklahoma happened. Thunderstorms with tornadoes were dropping everywhere! It was so cool! I had to take lots of sky pictures.
We finished up our trip with finding a house to rent (really nice in a fancy neighborhood, but renting from some nice people that just want someone to live in their house) and schools/preschools for Em and Nan. I went to a job fair for people already hired with T*lsa PUblic Schools. I was able to interview principals because my particular expertise are in great demand right now due to grant funding. So I left the job fair with 7 firm job offers to work at certain schools. I had until this Friday to decide but I already did so I'm stoked. I'll be the Science Specialist at an at-risk 100% poverty elementary school in North T*lsa. I'm thrilled because it's a place where I can definitely make a difference because I"ll be teaching PK - 5th grade students science only! WOO HOO! After leaving the job fair I stopped by a park and took some beautiful pictures of the flowers that would have been only better if the girls were with me. Then we went to my grandparent's house for my grandmother's birthday. I was able to get one of the socks finished and I did a little crocheting with the instruction of my grandmother which is something new for me.
