I woke up feeling like crap (thank you PMS)
and laid in bed feeling miserable when I got a phone call. I let it go to voicemail cause I didn't want to talk to anyone. Finally about 2 hours later, I summon the strength to get out of bed, get dressed, do my chores and make it down stairs to start my day
(thank you
).
My phone in the meantime kept beeping me so I finally called my voicemail and it was a message from Jim (A director I had an interview with last Friday). Of all the interviews I went to last week, this was the job I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally really wanted, but he couldn't hire me because enrollment wasn't up. He kept saying how impressed he was with my resume, my personality (seriously, I'm Awesome), and how he wished he could hire me.
I left sad, but sort of hopeful. Frank kept saying, "You'll get it! Don't worry about it" (husbands know what to say and when to say it, but this wasn't the time LOL)
In the meantime I let myself stay sad and pessimistic or perhaps that was just the side effect of PMS. Something this good to be true won't happen.
Well, it did and this morning I was offered the job as an Assistant Director (Key Personnel) working for a before/afterschool daycare starting NEXT MONDAY! What's more awesome is that I get to teach drama to school age kids with state of the art equipment! This daycare facility is like no other private care I've ever been to...it's daycare on crack LOL But more so, the director and staff are amazing talented people that I so look forward to working with.
So, YAY me but seriously, THANK YOU JESUS!

I am glad that you are there to teach drama. We did not really have drama in elementary school. Just think what would have happened if I started acting as a child rather than in college? its sad that when budget cuts come, the first ones to get cut are the arts. We NEED arts not only as a creative outlet, but an emotional outlet. It is sometimes the one place in the curriculum where a child can be his or her true self. In high school I worked for a day-care center in Waipio. My job was to play. Thats it, to play (and supervise but more play). The director at that school recognized the importance of play and structured play, as well as the importance of kids seeing adults as being able to let loose, be creative, and get down in the dirt with them. I had a blast there, and so did the kids. I would encourage them to use their imaginations, things that kids today use less and less with all the technology we have. I didnt have a computer growing up, so for book reports that had art projects attached, I HAD to draw or paint. Today, kids pull stock images from the internet. I find it fascinating how two students (me and Nani) who came from the same school system with no real drama department, ended up in careers dealing with the arts. I think its great. Art will find a way!
