Why am I doing this?
Erm, because your odds are already better than 1 in 60 with those numbers! And if you assume that as in all things, ninety per cent of the applicants are crap, and you are quite clearly in the other ten percent, then your chances are already 1 in 5 or so without you even making much effort!
Dude, Jars. You and DH get cookies once I come out from under my bed.
So ... I'm kind of a moron.
One of the requirements for me to student teach (after I finish my class requirements, of course) is 100 pre-student teaching hours. Most people will substitute teach to earn these, if they don't have a regular job. I was using Girl Scout stuff because I couldn't sub, because regular job.
Hey guess what I don't have anymore? A REGULAR JOB!!
AND!! I have enough credits (90+) to sub in actual, real classrooms!! So I've started to process to become a sub.
It came to me last night, but then today when I dropped Em off at school, I stuck around and ended up chatting with her teachers. Turns out, they need an aide in the class and they want me!! So I've done the paperwork and I'm begging to get put into an already full enrollment class. Tomorrow I go get fingerprinted. Woohoo!! I'm going to (kind of) teach!!
Sox, I told you: The cookies are supposed to be stuck to your application with icing (not staples)! As a person who has looked at hundreds of applications for law schools, the one I remember most was from the woman who had been a baker.
Aims: Yay! Does this mean you'll be in Em's classroom?
Sparky - it could be! They need a long term sub, so if I can get into this enrollment class I need, then I should be able to be in the pool, at which point Em's teachers will request me.
It just hit me: I'm gonna be a teacher!! A real live teacher!!
Holy eff.
I have a nerve-wracking meeting coming up at 9. Anyone know a way to use typical office supplies, caffeine, and sudafed to quickly produce a tranquilize?
Holy eff.
You won't be able to say that anymore!
Also, congratulations!

put a thumbtack point up in your shoe. whenever you start getting nervous, just press your toe on the thumbtack and concentrate on the pain. You won't have the mental space to be nervous.
