I have a job!

Well, it's official. I have been offered a job. In the interests of protecting students' (and my own) privacy I won't include the location here, but suffice to say I am really pleased. It's a school I'm familiar with, which eliminates at least some of the fears and challenges associated with my first full-time year of teaching. It's in a pretty convenient area for me, with a demographic context that I feel I 'fit' in, and although I don't know the specifics of what I'm teaching yet, I'm at least confident that it's in my discipline, which is a relief as well. So all in all I'm going into the summer holidays feeling pretty excited and not as nervous or stressed as I thought I'd be!
