Last class of the summer

Last night I had my last class session of the summer. I've still got my final assignment to work on (due next Wednesday), but the summer session is essentially over. Fall classes begin August 23, and I believe that I actually have a class that day. I should probably look into what textbooks I need soon.

It's kind of strange to think that by next summer, I'll have graduated! Things are definitely gearing up for the end. This fall semester is my last semester of taking classes, and then in the spring semester I'll have my internship, and then I'll be done.

My application for the internship is due by August 27, and I just submitted the first part of it yesterday. I was able to use proof of my fingerprinting and background check from January to fulfill that requirement for my application. Apparently I just needed to prove I passed a fingerprinting and background check within the last five years to meet the FSU requirements. When it gets closer to the internship, I may have to go get fingerprinted and background checked again to meet the student teaching requirements for whatever county I end up in, but at least I have satisfied FSU's requirements.

Now, I need to write an essay for the second part of my internship application. Then, once my final "official" FTCE scores come in the mail, I need to scan and e-mail them to our internship coordinator.

Just for the heck of it, I checked out Fairfax County's instructional vacancies for the 2010-2011 school year. TJHSST has a librarian opening!!! Too bad it's not for the 2011-2012 school year, because I would totally apply.
