Teacher Job Fair

So last week I went to a teacher job fair at University of Utah. I can say it was interesting. There were a ton of out of state schools. I interviewed with a school from Houston, Louisiana, Alaska, and a couple of Charter schools. I was only there for a couple of hours and it seemed like forever. By the last person I talked to, I don't even remember what we were saying.

It was kinda discouraging. Almost everyone I talked to about the job fair said that a lot of schools will hire right on the spot, but every school said the same thing, "We're not hiring yet. Go online fill out an application and if you see something open up, quickly click apply for job to get an interview." A long day of nothing. The only thing I found beneficial was talking to the charter schools to see if I agreed with their philosophy.

Schools out!!!

I am way excited for school to end. for me this means... more laundry days, with Kirstin doing student teaching we didn't have much time in the evenings to do our laundry so we traded and took just Saturday, which for me has been horrible cause I get my clothes dirty way fast and I hate sitting home ALL day Saturday. we want to move from our current place of residence preferably somewhere I can stand up straight in the shower. and more four wheeling yeah!
Kirstin found out she would make about 10k more a year if she taught out of state so she really wants Louisiana, I think it would be awesome there but I would prefer Alaska, there they need teachers in Anchorage and a town called Barrow, iIsuggest you look it up, it is above the Artic Circle how sweet is that. There was also a school in Houston that was worth going to.

Cars: This last little bit has not been to kind on our cars, Kirstin's had a pulley seize which made it think it was a bunny, it had a little bit of a hop as it drove. then mine decided that it will only use high gears in the cold so my top speed on a regular day is 50 mph, so if you get stuck behind me just go around. I promise to stay in the slow lane. Ryan and I tried fixing it, we thought it was from some wires that came lose and melted together on the exhaust, but it wasn't. At least we had a good time doing it.

and that is that
