First can I just say how wonderful and supportive all of my "peeps" (aka friends) have been with the comments and emails! You guys absolutely rock!
I found out on Friday that I didn't get the Medfield and Bromfield positions. Double whammy! These were my first and second choices. This process has been so emotionally draining. I know my folks are worried about me (my peeps too). I'm trying to keep a positive attitude but it's getting harder the longer the process continues.
Still haven't heard from Hull yet. There is a little bit of drama behind this one that I really don't want to share yet.
On a happier note, I have an interview on Monday at Rye Junior High School in Rye, NH. It's a grade 7 history position. This school is only 20 minutes north from me. And, I have an interview at Salem High School in MA on June 23rd. This is a World History position. Salem is about 45 minutes south from me. PS This is the same Salem of the infamous 1692 Witch Trials - historically, this could be a great place to work!
And, to top if off, I'm trying to finish up the school year and my curriculum. I'm finishing up with World War I - unfortunately, I'm not doing it the justice it deserves! It's my favorite topic to teach in World History. Plus, I'm packing everything up in my classroom. I'm such a pack rat - I think as a History teacher, I'm so afraid of throwing anything away. I figure now is a good time to get rid of some stuff so I'm donating some materials to the History/English depts, school library, and other colleagues that might have a use for some of my stuff.
So, this is my life. Nuts! Crazy! Busy! Upsetting!

I know it's so discouraging! When I was laid off in 2001 it was the worst feeling in the world. I feel for ya and I know how you feel. Hang in there...I know something is going to work for you...I have faith :)

Lori, I'm thinking of you and wish you luck on your next interviews. I'm sure you will find something soon.
