Interviews and Iced Coffee

First things first, Dunkin' Donuts cinnamon iced coffee is the bomb. That's right. I said it. The BOMB!

Now on to more important things:

I recently applied to be the new music teacher at an elementary school in our area. I'm very excited about the opportunity and the anticipation only grows stronger as I wait for a phone call on Friday. That phone call will be from the principal of the school and she will be letting me know if she wants to give me the chance to ignite a passion for music in her school again.

I had an interview at the school yesterday and I think it went pretty well. The principal was super easy to talk to and I had good answers for all of her questions. I've only been to the school twice, but I feel so comfortable there. I really like it a lot and hope I get the job. While I was there last Friday, I was waiting to drop off my application packet and a bunch of teachers stopped to talk to me and ask about my music background. Everyone seemed so excited that I was there and they didn't even know my name! It's such a nice atmosphere at the school because they're excited to have a new music teacher who will be willing to change the way that the school approaches music as a whole.

I'd love the chance to get to bring music back into the lives' of the students at this school. These kids have gone way too long without adequate music education and I feel that I can be the one to really spark their interest in it again. My only worry is that there will be someone with more experience than me that the principal likes just as much as me. I know there are tons of people with more experience than me, but I doubt that there are very many that have as much passion for the job as I do. I'm already emotionally attached to the position and I still don't know if I even have the job yet!

Well, all I can do now is hope that the I made a big enough impact on the administration and that they'll remember me when they choose the next music teacher for their school.

Keep your fingers crossed for me.
