Oh my goodness, can you believe it?  I graduate in two weeks!  This semester really has gone by so fast.  It’s unbelievable.  I’m almost there!  But wait, that’s when the scary part starts.  Jobless, unemployed, broke, and joining the real world.  Yikes, help… Maybe I want to go back.  Can I go back?!  I’m definitely worried about finding a job.  I have seen how the economy has treated my fiance.  Employment is definitely not easy to find.  A friend and I dropped off our applications to a district today.  I wonder how that will go!  My dream is to head down to Colorado Springs, but if they offer me a job here, Hello!  I love northern Colorado, if only my family weren’t so far away.  I guess I shouldn’t complain.  My fiance’s family is even farther!  But still…

My dream job would be at a school that encourages inquiry, which is exactly what the district I applied to is doing.  It would also be in a place that will allow me to grow as a teacher.  Even though my student teaching has definitely prepared me for my first day, my first year will prepare me to the best teacher I can be.  I want to be in a school that will support professional development and will be there to tell me if I’m doing something wrong.  Because trust me, as a first year teacher, I’m bound to do something in a way that could have been better.  My first year will be a new adventure.  I’m scared, but I’m also really excited to see where life takes me.  I can only leave my life in the hands of God after graduation.  In his hands, everything will turn out the way it is supposed to.  Who knows, that might be in Australia.
