Well, as the title says there are only 28 sleeps till we fly. This past week has been a busy one with getting tenants for the house, and me getting not one but two jobs offered. I had a phone interview with the Principal of Plaistow School in Newham and I was a bit nervous waiting for the phone to ring. Well, finally it rang and it was the agency. He said I'll put you through now Good luck, and then he hung up on me!!! Great start. He rang again, and we finally got connected. I spoke with Janine for about 5 minutes and she said thank you, I'll be in touch. Well, you know what that usually means. The next morning Rohan (Agency rep) rang and said that she has offered me the position!!!. Next thing, that night he sent me an email and said she has offered me two positions and I can choose which one. The first one is releasing teachers for their PPA (planning, preparation) so I would be in a different class each day but in the same classes each week if that makes sense. The other position is teaching a year 3 class until June (end of UK academic year). I'm still tossing up which one to take. PPA would give me no planning time and less responsibilty but no consistancy, taking my own class will give me more work to do but the opportunity to make a difference. Plus I get a half day a week release for PPA time!
Also, we have been lucky to sevure a tenant for the house (our new DP at Central) so this weekend was spent packing up furniture into the container. We now have 3 weekends left so need to really get stuck in and get organised.
