So, the interview went really well (or at least, I think so!). As the principal walked me out she told me that I did a good job, and I honestly don't think she would've said anything, especially compliment me, unless she felt it was duly owed.
I'm also hoping that it works in my favor that 3 of the 5 teachers on the panel (it was a panel of 7; 5 teachers, the principal and vice principal) I've either subbed for, worked with (spec. ed.), or know through my aunt (she's an aide in the spec. ed. autism unit... the head of the autism unit was on the panel).
I know it seems strange to those who aren't religious... but trust me, I've done NOTHING but pray since I graduated and was unable to get a full time position. As hard as it may be to believe, my faith grew mountains... because I realized I needed to put my faith in Him and set my cares aside... especially since the small bout of depression I suffered wasn't getting me anywhere, and I wasn't going to seek medical help for it and have that on any kind of record. I did it alone, and with God's help... again, I know that it's hard to understand if you're not a religious person... but I got through it. And, also unbelievably, I have a certain sense of calm. Like, inside my heart just feels excited and happy... not wrecked with fear that I may not get the job. And I may NOT get the job... I may get a call on Thursday telling me that they don't have a position they feel I'm suitable for... but I guess then my happiness is God resolving in me that there's another place for me.
Anyhow... I'd still appreciate good thoughts... the principal said I'd be told one way or the other by the end of the week... Since Friday is a holiday here in San Antonio (it's Battle of Flowers!) I'm guessing I'll know on Thursday. I sincerely hope that I have something to celebrate this coming weekend... and if I don't... at least I can take solace in knowing I have a backup plan.
