New job!!

I resigned my position at the school I'd been at for the past 4 years due to some personal reasons.  However, that did not mean that I wasn't applying for other positions.  I'd been interviewing all over and had many "thanks for interviewing but we chose someone else" contacts.  I interviewed this past Monday (7/30) at a youth corrections facility in the same district where J goes to school and where we live. The facility is operated by the state but the school by the district.  I got a call not even two hours after I interviewed saying, "we want you," and of course I said yes!  It'll be teaching Special Education to a population of kids in the judicial system, working more directly with teachers and kids on IEPs.  I go in on Monday (8/6) and Tuesday (8/7) for trainings and my first day is 8/14. 

I'm excited and yet I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit nervous because I'd done the exact. same. job. for the past four years, which I could practically do in my sleep.  However, I'm thrilled for a new opportunity to expand my teaching and work with new staff and kids!
