Wow, that was a different interview than the first one I had! The first one was mostly trying to get a feel for who I am. This interview was very specific and directed. I came away thinking that I didn't do terribly well, and knowing that I would hear from them in 7-10 days. My mom came into town the next Tuesday and we went to Florida for a hair and makeup trial, which went phenomenally well. I would post pics, but I'll keep my three readers (if that many) in suspense until after the wedding.
My mom and I drove down on Wednesday. When I checked my e-mail Wednesday evening, I had an e-mail from the director of the department of exceptional students (the woman I interviewed with, basically), telling me that there were some things I'd need to take care of to get my teaching license, and that she would start calling my references on Friday, but to not worry if I don't get a call by Friday evening.
So I decided to not worry when I didn't get a call. Okay, so maybe I worried a little.
Mom and I drove back up Monday morning. She and I agreed that we would stop at the St. Augustine outlet malls so I could get some new professional clothes in case I got any teaching job. About halfway between south Florida and St. Augustine, I get a call from a local-to-home area code. Long story short, I got the teaching job in my county!! So instead of shopping for clothes in case I got a teaching job, we went because I have a job!
I now have a full wardrobe for teaching clothes, including a Coach tote bag/briefcase and a pair of shoes. I don't have pics of any of my clothes except the shoes, so here's a gratuitous shoe pictures.

I'll be sure to ask Kerry to take a picture of me my first day of school *grin*
I've gone back to knitting CPH. If I want to have it done for the most part, I need to finish it before I start work next week. This county starts school really early.
I'll try to post more often as I start work. No promises, though!
