I had my interview at the rural high school this morning.

I think it went very well.

This was just round 1; they’ll be doing callbacks for a second round of committee interviews, then bringing finalists back to be observed teaching a lesson.

BUT this is for an actual *job*. Not a long-term sub position. Someone is retiring.

And it sounds fabulous. Some sections of sophomore English, one section of juniors, and two senior electives. One of them being…CREATIVE WRITING!

I know. Too good to be true, right?

I got along quite well with the principal. The interview went about 40 minutes, and he said that he hoped to be seeing me next week for the second round. I said, “Well, I hope so, too.” (big smile)

Before I left, I popped in to the superintendent’s office to introduce myself. We talked for a few minutes about some of my old teachers, people that he knew. Small world, indeed.

Don’t want to get my hopes up too high yet, but I felt really, really good when I left.
