(I know, it's a terrible picture, but I have really been lacking on visual imagery here, so this is my attempt...and Paul made the award thing...not me...and yes, my eyes are open, that is just what I look like when I smile)
I had an interview yesterday and I was OH SOOOOO NERVOUS! I found out about it on Friday afternoon and was a ticking time bomb all weekend!
Well, I had an interview on Tuesday morning that was supposed to last 15 minutes, but it lasted like 45 mins instead...and guess what? They offered me the job on the spot! I will be teaching 4 periods of English 10 and a period of Journalism at a nearby (I mean REALLY nearby) high school, so I'll be responsible for *gulp* like 180 minds *breath in*breath out*
Now, I have more nerves than before, but there is a lot of excitement along with it.
So, if any of you have any favorite things, ideas, or lessons from teaching, English, or American Literature, let me know...seriously!

I decided to go back and get my teaching certificate...had I decided I wanted to teach BEFORE I graduated, I would have saved myself several classes...Oh well.

I am glad I live above you, but yet, didn't know any of this was going on under my stairs....But we are happy for you, You will be the teacher that leaves huge impacts on kids lives, but they just can't figure out why they let you get to them. You seem to have that about you. Always leaving lasting impressions. Really lets get drunk and celebrate.

I agree with Katrine. If I were still in high school I know I would love being in your class.

Hey, have you heard anything from the school yet? Just wondering...they haven't called me.
The thought of eager young minds listening to your ideas... American Fork(?) is about to get a dose of fresh air. Is Flannery O'Connor too much for 10th graders?
awesome, kira! y'know, i think i went to one of the few high schools that never read 'moby dick'. whew, that was random. i think i was hell on my teachers too.
that is so great! Congrats! I loved Great Expectations, so you should read that one.
