nerves

Within the next 7 days I will have completed at least two interviews, worked 4 days in the school system, seen steves art, visited with family, and turned 23. Its wierd that after so many months of hoping and praying to get interviews and finally find a teaching job, it is finally starting to come closer to happening.

Interview 1: I am interviewing to teach english to people in Korea. I think it would be a great experience that would allow me to learn more about another culture, indulge my wish to travel abroad, and give me tools to use in my own classroom. I am also hoping that If I get this job I will be able to save enough money to comfortable pay my student loans back and not have to pay rent....that is a big plus! The only downside I have is that I wouldn't be able to be around my family which I could deal with...except I would miss my sister more than anything.

Interview 2: Fairfax County Schools are amazing. They pay well, the students are well-behaved, and its in the United States. These are all pluses to the place. My big fear about this one is that they will think I am nothing but a big hick with a horrible accent. I try my best to sound better, but I say one thing that gives me away everytime. "These ones" I say it all the time....and yet everytime I think about its meaning....i think it sounds very ignorant and hillbilly. I am afraid I will not be able to change my entire accent in a few days so Hopefully my charm and wit will win them over....... :(
