Gratitude

At the beginning of the week I said "this is going to be the greatest week of my life."

Today is Friday. And my expectations were exceeded.

I recieved a call from Carly at Bluewave this morning at about 7:00. We had a chat about the current state of jobs in the UK - schools are just now finding out their need and starting to look for teachers. They usually start local and then look to Bluewave for others.

I learned that after a year I have to work on my QTS (Qualified teacher status) - observations and classes to ensure that my qualifications are parallel with UK qualifications. So that's a hurdle to jump after my first year teaching. I walked away feeling quite excited.

In detention I looked at my mobile and saw that I had a voicemail from a number I didn't recognize. It was Carly - the school I had sent an application to was VERY interested. I quote her email:


"I trust all is well. As stated on my rambled voice message King Edward VII are VERY interested in your application as a drama teacher and would like to have a chat with you on Monday 14th May at 9am your time if possible. Failing this Wednesday 16th May at 9am your time.
If you could please let me know ASAP if you are available so i am able to confirm with the school.
Speak soon!"

There were tears. My detention kids were like "Oh my God, are you OK?" I couldn't even do anything I was just so floored with excitement.

At the end of the day mom called and said that she just chatted with the Italian consulate - my passport is ready and just needs to be delivered. I have to mail them an express envelope to recieve it. Again - I was amazed.

I said that this week was going to be great - and it was. We really are in control - we think; it happens.

I am a firm believer in the Secret - if you believe it, it works. My proof? My happiness.
