Well, it's true -- I will (most likely) be teaching drama next semester. But the sure thing is that I will be teaching IN THE BIGGER ROOM! That's a nice little perk. They interviewed three people for the job yesterday, and I guess two were...somewhat less than qualified and the other is very new to teaching. Like, this will essentially serve as her student teaching experience, but she is supposed to have really good energy and be really enthusiastic, and as one respected colleague told me, "She could be VERY good at this." So I am excited to get to meet her soon (assuming she accepts) and to get to work with her. It'll be different from working with Crystal, but it will be nice to have someone who is also young (I was minorly concerned that they would hire some strange and grumpy old man for some reason). I think she'll be really happy at the school, and hopefully we can have fun with our connected rooms. That would be something, wouldn't it? And who knows, maybe I'll gain another friend up here in NorCal before the year is out. Unfortunately for her, they are going to ask her to come in and observe me a couple of times next week. I don't know what I am supposed to be able to offer to her, especially when we are supposed to be reviewing for finals and I'm not really doing much teaching, but oh well. I am just excited that I may get to meet her before the break. Anyhow, I suppose I should stop going on about this lest she not accept the position and it's all for naught or something.... :) More later, I imagine.

Love,
Annabel
