monday: the day teachers went back to school. i was still at home, a little bummed, and mentally preparing myself to become a sub.
tuesday: abby's birthday! i was hoping that if i did get a teaching job that it wouldn't get in the way of me meeting my first niece at the hospital! right before we left, my phone rings. it's the department head of walton high school (widely regarded as the best high school in georgia, the closest high school to our wonderful church, and has young life!). my interview is scheduled for 3 o'clock. it's the only interview i got all summer.
hospital pics...abby is perfect and it was such a gift to be there.
i go to the interview, it's with the department head, the assistant principal, and the principal. we talk for about 45 minutes, the leave the room for 30 seconds, and come back and offer me the job!! i get a tour of the school while they set things up with hr. unbelievable.
wednesday: i go to county math teacher training and sign my contract.
thursday: start off the day with freshman orientation. i see a bunch of johnson ferry kids and hug them and awkwardly tell them to call me mrs. mac/macdonald when we're in the buiding. run around all over the school to the point of blisters.
friday: another day of meetings, running around, and pretending to be organized.
after some early morning jazzercise, i spent most of my day at school and am finally feeling a little more settled. i'm a floating teacher and i'm pretty proud of my highly organized cart...a big thank you to my cooperating teacher back in the day for teaching me all her systems!
school starts monday and i have at least one johnson ferry kid in each of my classes...so thrilled to be at this school and work with these wonderful teachers (they have gone above and beyond to help me) and teach these amazing students. thank you thank you thank you for thinking of me, praying for me, encouraging me, and believing in me. God answered every single part of every single prayer, and i'm humbled and grateful to be living out this awesome adventure he has planned for me!
