I got a call yesterday about interviewing on a campus in my current district... my interview is tomorrow at 4pm. I'm very hopeful... they have a handful of positions open, and I'm hoping to get one of them! I think if I just stay calm, and think before answering their questions I'll do great. Also, my portfolio has been revamped and I've included letters that my students wrote me from when I student taught as well as my thank you note from my autistic student's mom from this past school year showcased in there as well! I think/hope that those things will speak strongly.
Also, I finally had my dermatology appointment this afternoon. I'm a little upset... I had him specifically look at 3 things that were bugging me... One of them specifically I was SURE was nothing... and it turns out it's more of a something than I would've thought. I had a bump on the back of my left calf that I was positive was a varicose vein... after reading a lot of things, I was positive that it was due to my weight gain in the past 3 years as well as being on the combo birth control pill. Turns out, it's a cyst of some kind... when he first saw it he said, "...oh..." in a very skeptic sounding way that is never good coming from a Dr. Anyhow, everything will be sent to the lab, so I'll be playing the waiting game on that, and hopefully it will turn out to be nothing at all... :( So, I'm having surgery Monday afternoon to remove the places... I'm most nervous about having to go back in to have stitches removed... I hate the feeling... it's very uncomfortable and stresses me out... but I'm glad to get this taken care of NOW.
I'll make another post later about my vacation... right now I'm trying to stay more focused on tomorrow's interview so that I'm not freaked out going into it... after I'm done with that my focus will immediately shift to Monday's schedule... :(
