There and Back Again

I've now had my third on campus interview for a school and each time they're getting more comfortable. It also helps that progressively, each school is feeling like a better fit for me as well. I spent part of today talking about stories with first graders and I want to do it again. They said they'll be in touch with me soon as in week or so, which is amazing and terrifying as I could see myself doing this job or the one in Ohio, their timeline is longer. Its an amazing feeling to realize that these schools consider me worthwhile for trusting with their students and libraries.

My sense of time is a little messed up as yesterday was lots of travel, today was interview and then lots of travel plus getting lost in the rain on the way to Providence. I had got a GPS to try out in my rental car but it didn't stay on the dashboard so I didn't use it on the way back, instead I got directions from the IT guy and then a person in a restaurant. The directions he gave me were going the other way which meant I had to reverse engineer which was what got me lost. Then I kept missing turns and having to turn around and the rental car section of the Providence airport is a bit of a hike from the rest of the airport. The nice part was that everything is actually really close to each other so I never ended up that lost for all that I felt anxious. So I arrived an hour before my flight and the security line was short but I didn't actually relax until I realized okay, I do have some time. When I got on the flight, my body went that was tiring and slept from Providence to Chicago and then had a long layover in Chicago before finally getting to Detroit. Today started at about 6 am and I'm drinking a glass of wine and processing it and don't have to work until 9 pm tomorrow night, which is lovely.

Now I'm going to dig into all the lovely tags that are waiting for me.
