Hey Spring Break! Nice to meetchya!

So I am FINALLY on spring break! YAYAYAYYAYAY!!! I slept for 13 hours... not including the 3 hour nap I took when I got home yesterday. I was a little tired :)

So Friday I left school, came home and packed up and then drove up to Frisco. It was a gorgeous afternoon with the sun peaking through dark rain clouds, and it just reminded me how much I want to be living back in the mountains. We stopped at the top of the pass between Fairplay and Breckenridge for some play-stick-in-the-snow time and then met up with Aunt Barb at the hotel. She took Sherlock for a walk while I did some last minute reading up on interview stuff.

The next morning I got up and drove the rest of the way up to Edwards. Of the 5 districts I planned to interview with, my bottom two (Aspen and Steamboat) were not hiring any elementary people... so while I think it would have been good practice to interview, I was not really that disappointed. Summit County was only taking applications as they didn't know what they would have available yet, so I gave them my stuff. So first I interviewed with Roaring Fork (Glenwood Springs Area). I interviewed with one of the elementary school principals and I think I really impressed her. The only downside is how uber expensive it is to live in that area. Then I interviewed with Eagle County. I was suppose to interview with another one of the elementary principals, but she was very pregnant and apparently needed a break, so I interviewed with the head of the HR department instead. I don't think he was expecting to interview anyone, but he was really fun, and he flat-out said he liked me a lot. So overall I felt good about how the day went. I still don't have any concrete prospects, but I am glad I went! I think the combo of a good day and lots of sleep helped too :)

Sherlock had a super-fun day with Aunt Barb too! I met back up with them and then Sherlock and I drove back home. And now I am OFFICIALLY on spring break! WOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!
