Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

It was supposed to come out in November, but it's been pushed back to July 2009! Sucks! Here's the link to the trailer (which still says it's coming out in November). It's looks so good!!

Waiting to begin my teaching career...

I've applied to several Sac City Unified teaching positions within the past two weeks and I'm waiting for an interview! Some of the postings just closed, so hopefully, I'll get some calls this week. I just want to start teaching the little darlings. I've heard good news about the school where I had my last student teaching placement. The kindergarten position is re-open and the principal called my cooperative teacher (C.T.) to make sure I was in town so I could apply! I'd be so happy to get a job at Joseph Bonnheim. I'd feel comfortable there because I'd be working with my C.T. I'm a little nervous about kindergarten, though. I never worked with the kids at the beginning of the year when they hadn't learned anything yet. On the other hand, it'd be nice being a child's first teacher and hopefully giving them a positive outlook on their schooling years to come. Anyway, I've also applied to postings for 1st-4th. There are good things about all grades. I really miss 3rd grade and the hour-long math lessons. I also liked teaching social studies, which is funny because I hated learning it when I was in school. Also, the kids are old enough to be silly and sarcastic with. I've told some jokes in our kindergarten class and I swear, all you could hear were crickets. :) On the other hand, the younger kids are fun because they're so cute and say fun and innocent things. Also, there's more time for music and art in the younger grades. I don't really mind what grade I get, I just want a job! It's like, you go to school for so long, and then when you're finally finished, there are little or no jobs available. It's okay though. I'm getting my optimism back, since I've seen more and more jobs posted on Sac City's website. We'll see what happens in these next two weeks (school starts September 2nd). Hopefully, I'll get some interviews and a job! WISH ME LUCK!
