Today I had an interview for a position that I REALLY want! I managed to multi-task a half-day of supply teaching along with the interview thanks to the help of a former colleague. I initially was pleased with my interview and even think that I did an okay job with the written question (never my preferred portion) but then I saw the next candidate. It was a lovely lady whom I had the pleasure of working with 2 years ago and about the only person who could completely crush my confidence.
The position in an FSL position and it just so happens that her first language is French. I know that my French abilities are good and I consider myself to be completely bilingual, however, when it comes down to it, I know that she will have had no problem with the French portion of the interview...no grammar mistakes like I tend to make when I am nervous.
I don't want her to not have a position this year, I just don't want her to have THIS job! I love the school and staff so much and I actually feel like I am missing part of me by not being there right now.
In an attempt to endear myself, I spent part of the afternoon with the person who I would be replacing, giving her a hand with a very busy grade 1/2 class.
Like I said, I don't wish the girl who is also up for the job any ill will, I just really want this job! I really don't have much else to look forward to right now and I am actually starting to feel desperate which really sucks. I have been working as a supply teacher for 8 and a half years and I really think that it's my turn to work for a full year!
I'm really sorry to sound all whiny, but sometime soon, something's gotta give!!!

Old Crows
Fifteen years ago this weekend I met two of my best friends...Sharon and Sarah!
Oh the fun we had during Frosh week at Carleton University!!! I don't think that I will ever forget Canal games, Shinerama, "Moist", or Mont Cascades! And that was just the beginning. That first year was full of Tempest Tuesday's at the Bree's, DJ Saturdays, Fenn Pubs and malfunctioning fire alarms!!! There was lots of drama to be dealt with and a couple of roommate changes, but in the end I really think that everything worked out for the best!
Over the past 15 years there have been both happy and sad tears. Some moving away but in the end returning to the city where it all started.
Next year, when Carleton has their football team back, I really think that we should get as many people from that first year back together and go to the Panda game...let's face it...if we have a team and Ottawa U has a team, there has to be a Panda game!!! This time around though, I do believe that we get to be Old Crows...who knew that one day that would be a good thing!
All said, I simply want to acknowledge how blessed I feel to have such awesome people in my life. I'm not entirely sure if 15 years ago I would have believed that we would still be super close this many years later! I am tickled pink that this is how everything worked out :) Thank you both for being absolutely awesome people! I love you both and I am looking forward to what the next 15 years have in store ♥
