It’s pretty crazy. I was about to take a temporary teaching position and ended up getting called for a full time position in Las Vegas, NV. I got an interview and the job in the same day. Pretty insane, yet it is till the only call for a teaching position this whole summer. I still cannot believe how this job search has gone. However, I at least have a job, even though it’s thousands of miles away. Now I have to get a tb test, get finger printed, and apply for a teaching license in Nevada. Which will cost me close to $300 including mailing. Pretty crazy! Can you believe I have to pay for my own background check? I can’t believe it! Every job I have heard of the company/school pays for the background check. I can’t believe how much I have to pay to get a job! I should be happy though, right? I mean I do have a job at least. After I do all that, I have to wait for my background check to clear before I can start. So it will be awhile before I even move. It just seems crazy to me that I am expected to pay for my own background check.
Anyway, I am excited. It is going to be a huge change. No below zero degree weather in the winter, no snow, and no grass. It’s also the furthest away from my family I will ever be. I want this, it will be nice to have some freedom to grow, but I will certainly miss everyone. I’m really going to miss the winter and the spring. I love seeing lush grass everywhere and all the flowers blooming. I also love the winter when all the tree’s have lost their leaves and are covered in snow and ice. It is so quiet and perfect. Looking out of the window seeing fields and forests in snow and ice makes my feel isolated but in a good way. Maybe the desert will have a similar feeling, but I guess I will not know until I get there.
