Today is the day for the January administration of the SSAT, the Secondary School Admission Test. Andrew, my eldest son, is taking the test as I write this. We're at Saint Catherine's in Richmond. We drove up yesterday afternoon; it was a leasurely drive with no traffic to speak of until we hit Richmond and I-95. Had dinner at Red, Hot, & Blue -- Andrew's choice. Great pulled pork in a Memphis-themed restaurant. Stayed the night at a Courtyard. We got to bed early & woke up on time; had a nice buffet breakfast at the hotel. And then... Got lost on the way here.
Urgh. I'd made everything as relaxing as possible, and then I'm driving like a bat-out-of-hell trying to find the school. And, of course, the faster I drove, I wasn't getting any closer, if you know what I mean. We got here on time, but...
As to some good news (gaining a little control of myself): I have two interviews scheduled for the next couple of weeks. One is with a school in the mid-West, and the other is with a school here in Commonwealth. Both are coed; both are Episcopal schools; one has less than 250 students and the other is 250-400; both have more boarding students than day students. I am very excited about the possibilities they both provide. One prospective job is as the school counselor; the other job is a traditional teaching faculty position. Both would likely involve residential life & coaching responsibilities.
I hope our little trip didn't throw Andrew off this morning and that he fares well on the test...
