I have not been very faithful keeping this blog. All sorts of great events have been happening and being undocumented.
My son Allen graduated from high school. Since then he has left to work for the summer at a Christian camp in the Adirondack Mountains. Please keep him in prayer as he counsels the boys who have him as their leader. This week it is boys ages 8-10.
I got a job as the summer school librarian in Geneva. It is a very odd job. I'm a Middle School Librarian being housed at an elementary school because of construction at the middle school building. On the first day, I walked into the library and discovered that it is being used as the elementary school's summer school office. I have been pushed into a back office.I am very isolated from the actual middle school classes which are being held upstairs. I feel very awkward around the ladies who are working in the "summer school office." I feel like an intruder...which is a bit ironic since I am the librarian and it is really a library that we are in. Not too many of the middle school teachers are really interested in getting any resources from the library...so it has been a bit quiet.
I came close to getting a job. I was one of three final candidates for a library job at an elementary school about a half hour drive from my house. Someone else got it. I'm trying not to be too hard on myself for that one.

It is funny that a year and a half later I am reading this post with a very different view. Since not getting this job, I have met the librarian they hired. I found out that she completed a practicum in the district where she got the job (and I didnt). Knowing that, I am seriously glad they hired her and not me.
Nothing is worse than working hard in a school district, even completing a practicum there and then not getting hired when an opening comes up.
