I got a call back for a second interview at the school where I interviewed on Friday. Yay! I’m very excited. The interview, with a committee comprised of the assistant principal and several English teachers, is tomorrow. I think I’m going to have to let my boss in on what’s happening. I’m also going to have to spend a bit of time today preparing, anticipating questions, going over the NYS Standards, Regents exams, speaking to someone about the particularities of teaching sophomores, which is something the principal emphasized in my first interview.

Also feeling somewhat underprepared for my class today. My mind just hasn’t been on it. I guess we’ll see how well I can fake it, eh?

The weekend was a whirlwind of activity. We had Paul and Trisha’s wedding Saturday, which was simply lovely. I adore you both, and wish you nothing but the best!

I then went home on Sunday, so I would have the chance to visit with my aunt and cousin who were home visiting from DC. Brandy…oh my goodness…to say this child is a handful is a gross understatement! I don’t know how my aunt does it.

I had an appointment to have my car aligned on Monday at the hometown shop where mom and dad always go…had to have my car there at 9 am, and it wasn’t ready until nearly 4. Oh, and get this…I needed yet ANOTHER tire. The guy at the shop said there was a bulge in the right front tire, looked like I hit something, or something hit me. I’m trying to be thankful that I didn’t have a blowout on the highway somewhere, but seriously…this is THREE tire problems in the past 11 months. I think that’s excessive.

Work continues to be busy, and will be until the end of the month…actually, it’ll be a little bit less busy next week while we do proofing and corrections for the November issue, but then the new Bishop’s installation takes place on Oct. 28. That’ll be a hectic couple of days. Then it’ll be November, and we can breathe.

Then again, if all goes well, I’ll be breathing somewhere else…
