Times like this I wish I owned a horse...
Just got a text from barn owner/Nav’s owner. She’s got friends coming out to ride tonight and they need to use Navigator.
So, looks like my plans of going out and doing a good workout with Nav are canceled now. Great.

I’d like to see how we’re moving for once, instead of just assuming that what we’re doing is mostly wrong.

Still kind of nervous about actually accepting the...
I have until Monday to give them a final answer. Right now I’m leaning really far toward “yes”. But, I’m still scared. I know I’ll be busy and stressed out and feel like a crazy person. But I also know that I can do it, and that I won’t be alone.
I don’t know. I’m going with my family to check out the town tomorrow and look at apartment...

Everytime I think things are going great, something happens that makes it feel ruined.
Hurts my feelings. :(

I think what I'll do is...
Wait for the call. If they don’t offer it, no problems. If they do, I’ll ask a few lingering questions I have, and then ask for a little more time to consider it.
Having a plan feels good.

What’s going on? Why am I getting so confused and mixed up? :P

Got a lead on another job today
Beginning piano teacher for a private school. Sounds pretty good. Just gotta figure out how to get an application.
Still haven’t heard anything back from the job I interviewed for on Monday. I’m starting to lean closer to not taking it. Just because it would be so much for me as a brand new beginning teacher.
If I were to take that job, I would be responsible for beginning choir,...

I should just go to bed
I’m exhausted. Today was long in too many ways.
I’ve come up with a pros and cons list, more pros than cons. However one very big con is that I will be all alone as the only band/choir teacher in the school.
I’m sure I’ll have more time to think on it though. If they’re going to call me and offer the job, it won’t happen tomorrow and probably not even...

Not a great ride tonight
Nav was so distracted. I guess I was too. I felt like we were fighting eachother the whole time.
It got my mind off of the job at least. A little bit. But now I’m thinking about it again. Mir.
Maybe I should make a pros/cons list about the job. So I have a better idea about what I should do if it’s offered.

Had my interview this morning
I think it went really well. They were all very nice and seemed to like me.
But now I’m terrified that if they call me and ask me if I want the job, I won’t know what to say! I feel very confident that I could to the band part, even teaching a beginning band with all of the instruments together. I’m scared about teaching choir though. I don’t know anything about...

Thinking about the jobs made me restless so I've...
One of these positions sounds really good - probably better than a combination band/choir job - and it’s only an hour and a half from home. It’s elementary music, but lately I’ve come to the realization that I can teach elementary music. And I think I would enjoy it too.
So tomorrow morning maybe I’ll wake up extra early before band camp, print off the application, fill...

Looking at jobs again and thinking about applying...
Like, my stomach feels kinda sicky and nervous. :( I don’t know, I guess I should just go to bed and deal with it tomorrow.

Just found a couple more jobs to apply for!
I’m very excited about my interview on Monday, but I want to have some other options incase it doesn’t work out. I came across a couple tonight that I’ll have to send in my resume for tomorrow.
Unfortunately it is late, and I need to get some sleep. :P

There’s one at Tractor Supply Co. that I’ve had my eye on for a while, but it’s 50-some dollars… It’s sooo pretty though!
Although, I suppose after two weeks of working Band Camp I’ll be able to afford that! :D
I guess I should find out if it would fit Nav’s giant head first… :3

A great ride can really turn my mood around :)
Navigator and I just clicked tonight. It went really well! It was just like all the things we had been working on and getting nowhere with finally came through. Navigator understood what I was asking and I must have been cuing more clearly than before. It was wonderful! I could feel him putting his weight back and being lighter on his front. He felt like a different horse almost!
It was...

Just finished reading "Life of Pi"
Soooo good! It’s like it’s the perfect book. I feel like I take away something different every time I read it :)
I love it, and I recommend it to anyone and everyone. It does start out a little slow, but don’t give up on it! It is truly the best book I’ve ever read.

So much good stuff :)
1. I have a job interview!!! It’s for that job I posted about the other day, so if I get it I will be teaching choir as well as band, but I do think I could do it :) And, it’s already been rescheduled once, to Monday the 23rd. But that’s ok. I’ll have lots of time to prepare and think of some questions to ask them as well.
2. Navigator’s lumpy thing is gone! ...

I think it's time to go for a ride :)
And check on Nav’s little lumpy thing… :P
Also, I called up the superintendent of the school district and he told me how to apply and also talked with me a little bit about why I wanted to teach there and stuff like that. Almost like a very mini phone interview! :D I sent in all my documents as soon as I got off the phone with him, so hopefully something will work out with this!
