While tutoring an 8 year old...
Me: You can't write "peeps" in your essay instead of "people"
Kid: You're SUCH a buzz-kill!!

A new outlook
I have decided to stop feeling sorry for myself about finding a real teaching job. Although my ultimate goal isn't to be a substitute teacher for the rest of my life, after reading some of the posts from subbing, I realize how much fun I have at my job. I need to focus on all of the amazing children that I get to work with. One day my time will come. One day I will have my own class and will be able to make a tremendous difference. I just have to keep praying.
Etiwanda goes back to school in less than a month! Thank goodness! I am subbing two boys right now and although I enjoy working with them, I miss the feeling of being in a classroom with students. I know my fellow teacher friends are less than thrilled to get back to work, but I think being bored all summer makes me depressed. I constantly need to be active and working. I would be an awful stay at home mom... being in the house all day gives me cabin fever!
In other news, I am getting hired in Glendora as a sub! woohooo!
Tomorrow I am going to try to finish my website for my master's project! Letty and Kristine were a big help. I am so grateful for them. I cannot wait to be done with my master's degree the 2nd week of August! Praise the lord!!!

Subbing
Well, I figure if I cannot get a real teaching job, I should make sure that I am working 5 days a week subbing next year SO I applied for a sub job in Chino Valley and I have to call next week to try to get on Glendora's sub list. I really would like to be on Alta Loma and Claremont's sub list, but they are NEVER hiring!
I can feel myself being bogged down by this whole job search. I have always been the type of person who needs to be in control of the things that are going on around me. I know that not everything in life goes the way you plan, but for me I am usually pretty good at making sure life goes the way that I plan. I mean, in college my plan was to become an RA, graduate early, get my masters, move out, and finally start my life by getting a job. EVERYTHING has gone according to plan without any bumps in the road until now. My last master's class is killing me and I cannot find a job ANYWHERE. I would like to rewind in time and pick a different major where there are jobs in the field. I think I overestimated myself.
womp womp womp.

Real Estate
I have been thinking about getting my real estate license for a really long time now. I love houses... like it is an obsession. Why not make a little career on the side out of it? I know the housing market is on crack right now, so maybe it isn't even worth it, but it is something to think about. At least the classes and the test will keep me busy until I find a teaching job...
Only people that really know me know that I am one of the most impatient people you will ever meet. Seriously. I am pretty good at hiding it around people I don't know but inside when I become impatient, I can feel my blood going crazy. With that being said, you can only imagine the anxiety I feel while I have such a hard time finding a job and getting life started. I am really thankful that Matt is so patient with my impatience.
I could complain more, but I am tired of being such a cry baby about finding a job. Instead I am going to laugh at the fact that I went to the best (and one of the most expensive) teacher-credential programs in the state and can't find a job. I'll just pray that a bunch of teachers get pregnant and hope to be chosen to long term for them.

900 Applicants
"We have completed the screening of applications for candidates to participate in an initial interview. You were not selected for interview and are not in consideration for classroom teaching position for 2012-13 in our district.
We received over 900 applications and expect very few openings for next year. Our screening process advanced very few applicants to the interview process. With so many applicants to consider, we were able to set the highest standards in screening and had to eliminate many applicants who submitted strong applications."
900 applicants???? 900???? Really??? Depressing.
