Is today my birthday?

(Actually, July 4th is my half-birthday.)

Spread the good news, friends. I have a job!

The woman who interviewed me on Monday called about 15 minutes ago to offer me the position.

I am (officially - when I sign the contract they are sending me) a real teacher. I no longer have to say "I am certified to teach middle school Social Studies in Massachusetts". From this day forth I can tell the world, "I am a teacher". Wow, what a great feeling. I have been working towards this for sooo long and it has finally paid off.

Not to mention, this blog can remain in existance.
