Student Teaching Placement!

So I just got the email for my student teaching assignments. I'm not sure how being at the same school will work out, but I'm just greatful to know where I'm going!

Block 1 – Spring Lane Elementary
5315 S 1700 ESLC, UT 84114
(801) 646-4906
CT: Donna Davis (5th Grade)

Block 2 –Spring Lane Elementary
5315 S 1700 ESLC, UT 84114
(801) 646-4906
CT: Linda Cruz (1st Grade)

Yeah! Today is a great day!

Unsure

So yesterday I was helping my mom in her classroom all day. Not long after school got out I got a phone call. It was the company I was going to interview with on Wednesday. They want me to come in on Monday and have an interview. They said that the class is still full, but sometimes someone won’t show up for the first day of training and I could take their place.
I still might not even have a job even after interviewing. I’m not sure how to feel about this. I don’t want to get my hopes up because I know that chances are, everyone will show up for the training class and I won’t get a job. But at the same time I want to think that I will get the job. But I don't want to be disappointed. *sigh*
Oh well, it should work out okay. Wish me luck!

Extinguished

So, a couple days ago i said that there was a light at the end of my no-job-tunnel. Well, today it's like I've had the door at the end of my proverbial tunnel shut in my face. To be short, my interview got cancelled. :( Now what?

I hate this waiting game. You turn in a lot of applications, then all you can do is twiddle your thumbs and wait! It's so frustrating!

I'm depressed.

Puppy

So my bf Nicole is on a puppy kick. She really would like to get one. (She assures me that she'll get over this.) Anyway, yesterday she told me I should move into an apt with her so we can get a dog. I thought about it. I even dreampt about it last night!

I think I want a dog too. But she wants a Chizer (cross of schnauzer and chihuahua.) and I don't like the chihuahua part of the dog at all! But I'm totally for a mini schnauzer. I've included pics. How can you not think these guys are cute?!

Starting out backwards...

I'm just starting out. True, but I'm not going to tell anyone about this blog till I have a few days down at least! Then I'll feel I have actually accomplished something. :D

So, where to start?

I moved to SLC to live with my grandmother during my student teaching this coming fall. So far things have been a little bumpy.
First speed bump is my grandmother. I love her. I really do. But, like most old people, she is very much set in her ways. She's a red personality and I'm a mix of blue and white. So sometimes we really clash...Though not too often. (She's only made me cry once so far.)
Second is my job situation. (I know I'm not the only one with this problem.) I've been searching for a job for the past month to no avail. I do have a glimmer of hope on the horizon though. I had an interview last Friday and they asked me to come in for a second interview on Wednesday. That's a good sign right? The main hardship about this is not having an income. I'm not used to being completely broke. I've always had a little spending cash on hand, but now I can barely afford gas for my car.
Third bump is moving to a new ward. (LDS translation for congregation if you were wondering.) I'm not very good at transitioning from one ward to another. I always feel so out of place. I feel bad for my best friend Nicole. I decided to go to her ward so I'd know someone. But I feel like I'm always following her around, clinging. I really wish I could just get over it already. But transitions are tough.
Fourth I really miss my friends from Logan. I kinda feel like I've abandoned them. My other best friend Emily just had surgery and I haven't been able to go visit. I feel like a horrible friend. :(
Fifth and, so far, last bump is my social life. It really takes time to develop a social circle when you live somewhere. I feel like I just got comfortable with my last social circle and now I have to start over completely! *sigh* I had 3 people in the last 3 days ask me about my "social life." What social life?! I don't have a job, so I don't have $ for gas, thus I cannot really go anywhere, it's all just one big vicious cycle! Grrrr!

Oh well, c'est la vie n'est pas? - did I mention I speak french? (I'm LDS and I served a mission to France and Switzerland. Enough said.)
