later in August


Well, if I'm supposed to just wait, then that's what I'm doing. Now i have three possible job offers to wait for.
I had an interview in Mossyrock, to teach 8th thru 10 grade math in their jr. and sr. high schools. I received a tour of the whole school complex, a grilling interrogation (always unpleasant, but necessary), and even worse, a test to see how much I'd forgotten. The test came after an hour and a half of questioning. I answered one question, but really didn't have any mental capacity left for the other two.

While touring the building, I met a couple people in the halls and walked in on the end of cheerleader practice. The students and coaches smiled and waved a greeting. That's a good sign of respectful students, as well as welcoming people who give a good example. I think that I could be content there. There'd be no extra duties piled on, just teach.

The above photo was taken at Northwest Trek in Eatonville. There are five sandhill cranes moving about the park. This one, was nice and close. Unfortunately, the driver didn't really give a chance for decent photos. I was disappointed in the tour, it was just too rushed.
