So I went to my first second-round job interview last night. The interviewer tells me I'm one of two, and that she will be ready to make offers in 3 weeks. (Nervous!)

It's at a small public charter school that is just starting up in August.

Good:
- small and homey, the people seem nice and supportive.
- good pool of students (it's college prep)
- I would essentially be department chair
- complete control of the 7th-9th grade curriculum
- pay is "corporate style" (meritocracy)

Concerns:
- what if on some days I just want to close my door and hide?
- I would be teaching 192 students in 6 classes the first year.
- I would essentially be the only history teacher
- having to design 3 grades' worth of curriculum
- a lot of pressure to perform

In other words... next year would be INTENSE, but if I survive (yet again), it would be good for me.

Also, for the last two days I've been taking 2 hour naps in the afternoon. Dude, what's with that?

Today is 4/24, otherwise known is "24 hour comics day." (To which I say "meh".) I think kaitoujeanne's birthday is also today?
