April

I have 16 school days left of student teaching. At least 2 of those (potentially 4) are taken up with KCCT testing and the last 5 are kind of unofficial since I'll have done all my Gate stuff by then. I currently have a DVD of me teaching due next week and all my portfolio stuff is due on the 23rd by midnight. Then I'll have a stressful sort of interview on the 27th and then student teaching is basically over. It's such a strange feeling. I really don't feel like I've been here that long, nor do I feel like I should be this old.
In addition to student teaching/college wrapping up (an idea I still can't get my head around) my wedding is coming up...rather quickly. I'm really, really, really enjoying the fact that my reception is in a barn. It makes everything awesome for some reason. It's totally dictated the mood and my mental image of the whole thing. It's like knowing that this barn is there, I suddenly get a picture of how everything else needs to be, like invitations, food, decorations, and music. As much as I've wanted to run away and get married, I'm almost enjoying planning everything out and mentally nesting my future home. No one is allowed to tell Dave this. It's just our little secret...unless Dave gets on here and reads it himself, then the secret is out.
On the job front...there isn't one yet. I just finished my application to Scott County this morning, sent in a substitute application for Franklin Co. yesterday, applied to Clark Co. a couple months ago, and applied for two positions in Fayette Co. a while back as well. So, thus far that's 4 teaching applications and 1 application for a job period. I've got another one for a private Christian school in Lawrenceburg that I'll work on today. *sigh* Now Jefferson Co., if I could move there, has 19 high school English positions open and just about as many ESL jobs. Unfortunately, I'm tethered here for now. I just need a job, period, and I'm starting to panic a little, just one of those in-the-back-of-my-mind panics. Hopefully schools start posting jobs soon.
