And On a More Positive Note...
Hiya Girls! So I promise this is going to be a more positive post than last one. Still adjusting to the new city, but I'm beginning to put things into perspective. When I remind myself that all I ever wanted to do was live in New York, it makes things seem a lot better here. Also, my dad came into town last night!!! which makes me very happy. He, my sister and I have a big weekend planned. That also means that I got furniture! I think actually not sleeping on the floor and getting my clothes out of plastic bags (Tara, think Pollo) will make me settle in more here. I already feel better. And my buddy Jenny, who I think you all have heard about, my friend from middle school days and college roomie, moves up to Queens with 2 friends on Wednesday so I am so psyched about that! And if all goes according to plan, I might be seeing my long lost but never forgotten other half on the East coast in a few weeks:) fingers crossed!
So I had 2 interviews this week, one was with a job hunting agency about substitute teaching which went really well. He said I'll be getting a call to work as soon as they need a sub! And this guy works with non profit organizations too and is on the lookout for me!! Then I had the 'big' interview with Teaching Fellows. Not sure if I told you all about this, but when I first moved up here I applied to NYC Teaching Fellows which is kinda like Teach for America if y'all have heard of that. Basically it's a 3-step application process and you are placed in the most high-need inner city schools as a public school teacher for 2-3 years, working towards a masters. You can teach anything from 1st grade to 12th. I am looking at working with special needs children. Anyway I made it to the interview round which I was surprised/pleased about and I think it went well. Hard to tell, it was a 5 hour process with a lot of different components. Anyway I should hear in about a month. I'm not quite sure how I feel about it yet, if I would want to do it or not, most likely I would, but we'll see. At any rate, I would like to be offered it.
So that's a lot of info at once, hope you girls are doing well. I miss you guys more and more everyday if that's possible.
