August Dread

August is here. The most dreaded and anticipated of times for a hopeful teacher who is searching for employment. All my applications are in. Now comes the waiting. Will they call? Will I get an interview? Will I do ok in an interview, or will I bomb it. Am I what they want? What do they want?

My stomach is in knots and I wonder if it would be better to get an interview or not. Would the rejection be worse if I got an interview and didn't get a job, or if I never even got called.

Then I wonder - what happens in September if I don't get hired. Do I sub? Scares me down to my toenails. Makes me tremble in my boots. Does that scare me more than having my own class? I'm not sure. I'll let you know when I decide.
