OK, so I haven’t gotten back to the daily writing routine as I should.  I’ve been busy doing homework and those TPAs.  On the homework front, I think I’m doing “too good” a job.  My teacher is asking me to rewrite one of my assignments because it is too long and too detailed, but also not in the format he’s seeking.  OK then… I’ll do less rigorous work and I’ll stick to the format.  I have this teacher for my next (and last) two modules, so I’d better learn what he expects so I don’t fail any of his courses.  I would hate for my failure of this current one unit class I’m taking to be the reason why I didn’t get a teaching credential on time!  I need to get the credential on time because I suspect I’ll be employed for next school year.

This week, I just submitted an application for a job that I am qualified for… except for the credential.  The job seems to suit me just fine.  I’m pretty excited about it – it’s in my wife’s district, and the school is close, so no major commute.  Well today, I got even better news!  Two more jobs just opened up today at the local High School (where my kids attend) and Middle School (where my wife works and where I just finished my student teaching assignment).  I just applied to them as well.  Alas, I found out later in the day that due to some regulation, the district must post the jobs, even though those jobs have already been filled.  I’m hoping that the first job I applied to is also not already filled, and that the district was merely fulfilling a regulation   I can only hope I get an interview at that first place.
