I'm feeling accomplished. Last week I sent out two applications for teaching jobs, and I started a new second job this weekend for extra cash. I'm also feeling confident; I just got a response from one of the school districts and they're offering me a contract already. I still have to go in and talk to the people and get the details, and they'll give me a month to think about it. That district was my second choice... But hey, I have about a month to see if my first choice district will contact me, too.
My self-esteem is high right now, and it can only get higher. (heehee)
