Dawn of New Era

Well I've just paid for my teacher-librarian application and found another person to ask to be my referee. I'm really applying for this and I'm really hoping I get in. I need a third referee and some more paperwork. Experience is the main thing I lack, but I sure hope my referees and statement of intent can make up for it. Please take some time and pray for this and for me over the next two months and then however long it takes to hear back.

Happy Birthday to ME!

Yay it's my birthday and I'm having an awesome supper with wonderful friends and I'm very excited.

Yesterday was my last day at the yucky job and it was good. I got a card and a lot of them told me to stop by and visit and update them when I get a full-time job and stuff. I look forward to being available to sub full-time - especially since a lot of my calls came on days committed to the other job. I've still only had the 2 subbing days, but it's so close to Christmas I didn't expect any more.

Day 2

I had another day of subbing today :) It was just supposed to be morning, but it ended up being full. I'm still liking the library, but I did have a reminder as to why high school is not for me. Ah well. I already knew that. Hopefully I won't have to take a term at a high school before I get a library that is more my age group.

I have two of my three needed references locked in for the Teacher-Librarian program. I'm not entirely sure who else to ask. They suggest principals, district supervisors, university professors, and anyone with a graduate degree. I have my high school principal and my senior practicum faculty supervisor and they'll be great, but I need a third person. This will require some serious thought and prayer.

An End

I handed in my notice for the yucky job today. I am very excited and very pleased. My boss was a little sad, but very understanding. So now I have to be careful about finances and not allow myself any slacking when it comes to getting my time in at the different libraries and talking with different staff. Looking forward to the plans God has for me.
