End of the Year

Here it is, the end of another school year! Hooray! Whew, I made it through another year.

Yesterday I just walked to a park with my preschool class; it's only about a half-mile or so (I'm bad a guesstimating distances like that, so it could be less) but it took about 15 minutes to walk it with 11 preschoolers and 4 adults. Also, I was not aware that we were walking to the park, so of course I did not have appropriate walking shoes on. Every other day of the year I wear comfy shoes, but yesterday I had on chunky heels. Sheesh!

I think my boyfriend and I have our apartment all situated, we're just waiting for the actual apartment number. Whew, that's one thing down. However, I am still looking for a job. Sigh. Ultimately, I probably won't be working for my contracting company in the upcoming year because I seriously doubt they'll find me a job. My HR rep told me yesterday (again) that it's going to be really hard this year because the government keeps saying that money is coming, but they haven't approved it yet. The fiscal year doesn't start until July 1st, so, a lot of schools might not be hiring until then because they won't know what kind of funding they'll have.

Also, one of the jobs that I applied for was recently filled. I had to e-mail the HR director to find this out. No one bothered to even contact me. Frustrating!

On a higher note, after calling a couple of people, filling out some basic paperwork, a $200 check in the mail and an unnecessary $40 (I failed to read that this did not apply to me), I think I can mail out my application for Mississippi Licensure on Monday afternoon and at least have that out of the way. Sigh. I hope this all works out for my job.
