smile on my friends

After a pretty long stretch since my last vacation day, I took today off (it was a minimum day anyway), so I could make it down to Campbell in time for my 1:30 interview at Del Mar High School. I was a little nervous, since my last interview with Fremont Unified was pretty lackluster. I think I did well, but it was a standard form interview and I didn't get any feedback. 

Immediately when I walked into the office, I felt comfortable. I was interviewing with the principal, vice principal, and the two English department co-chair, who looked about 3 years older than me. It was a casual interview and I got the opportunity to talk about curriculum design and freshmen academies and my experience working with a diverse student population. After about an hour and fifteen minutes of talking, they told me that they had one more interview that day and that they would get back to me pretty soon because they wanted to "act on this quickly."

An hour later, I got a phone call and the principal told me he was forwarding my name to the district and I would be hearing from them soon to sign a contract if I was interested! He also offered to talk to the principal at Prospect (where Brian has an interview in a week), to let them know that we are a package deal.

So now the focus turns from just trying to get a freaking interview to finding a place to live! Exciting times!
