Graduation, Job Search, Approaching Training

After four years, blood, sweat, tears, yadda yadda, I finally graduated.  I now have a Bachelor's degree with liberal arts major and concentration in Science, Technology & Society from Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts.  (It's quite a mouthful and cumbersome to explain, but just see www.lang.edu)

On Thursday the 15th I attended the Eugene Lang College graduate and on the 16th attended The New School (University) graduation at Madison Square Garden.  Everything has felt very anticlimactic, but I don't really care.  All I want is my diploma in the mail and to move on.  I am glad to be done with it.

In the meantime, I am pursuing positions at Manhattan schools.  I interviewed at one already with the assistant principal.  She seemed a bit aloof, but well-versed in her field (chemistry and biology), which was kind of intimidating.  According to her, the next step is to see me teach, probably during my student teaching in July.

In the meantime, I have another interview on Thursday and will be attending a job fair Thursday evening.  I have not heard the best reviews about job fairs, but I figure it's worth a shot.

I anxiously await training which begins on June 2nd for Science & Math Immersion fellows (I = Science Immersion).  My small phonebook-sized guidebook sits on my coffee table waiting me to finish reading through it before training begins.  Although, I'm not sure if it needs to be completely read by the time immersion training begins or everyone's training begins.  I guess I'm kind of hedging on the former.

So, for the next week and a half, I will be enjoying my free time to myself.  It is the only time I will have to myself between my previous job, school and NYCTF.
