Yes, I was offered a postion in the parish in which I live. This was my 4th year interviewing - let's just say it's tough to get in. I will be teaching 7th and 8th grade science to on grade and above grade level kids and also one section of 7th grade math. The science is on the edge of my comfort zone and the math is outside of it. However, the principal knows and has said this herself, but she thinks I'll be great with the higher level kids. Means I have to take 2 Praxis exams (science and math) and IF I stay in the position (the principal knows I'd rather teach reading) I will also have be working on my Masters in order to keep teaching the gifted students.

So 2 days and 4 car loads and lots of sweat later - thank goodness for my daughter's help yesterday -  my garage is very full of boxes which I now need to go through to figure out what I will be taking to the new school. I'll be in teacher training and orientation meetings and setting up my new room several days next week. So marathon playing is about to end....
