did you ever run for student government and have to wait all day friday to find out who won?

Well, I did. LOTS. And I won some and I lost some, but that agonizing wait was the worst part of the entire election.

Today I had an interview at my school. I have been doing Supply Work (substituting) for a teacher who is off on maternity leave. Women can take up to a year off for maternity and still come back to their job, so the school can hire someone in their absence. So there was a very real chance that someone else was going to get the full-time job, even though I was covering for her these first few weeks.

During the last class period of the day the Principal came down and asked me to come back to his office before I went home. Those last thirty minutes d r a g g e d on.

And despite my obvious shortcomings (I didn't go to Teacher Training in Scotland, so I am VERY unfamiliar with the curriculum)...

I

Got

The

Job!!!

Life is good. We are so blessed. And it's my birthday...which means CAKE!

Have a good weekend!
