Disappointment

So... that whole taking chances thing? Not so sure about it anymore.

Ok, so maybe that isn't totally true. But I will say that when I take a chance and it doesn't work out over something ridiculous and miniscule (or at least to me), it makes it harder to remind myself to keep taking chances. Obviously, I heard back from the school in Colorado that I had an interivew with last Wednesday. Needless to say, I didn't get the job. The message left on my voicemail said that the main reason that I did not get the job is because I do not currently hold a Colorado teaching license. I find this reasoning absolutly ridiculous, because there is absoluty no reason that I won't receieve it from the CDE, but at the same time I understand where this decision came from. What if it hasn't gone through by the time school starts in the fall? The school would be out a teacher, and that would be awefully for everyone, and it still wouldn't be any one person's fault (well- it might be the fault of someone down at CDE...).

So I came home today, napped off the crying hangover, and then poured myself a giant glass of wine. My mother apparently called my cousin and she brought home chocolate milk, cookies and ice cream. The sad girl trifecta. And I applied to 7 more openings in DPS. Back to the grind I guess.
