A very bad twist!
Hello all
As all of you might recall, University life is over but my job search is not! Last Monday was the worst day for me as all my dreams and plans were washed down the drain. The news can't really sink in and I simply can't find myself to accept it. Why am I always given the worst positions and jobs within the Government sector? Why? This is the 3 rd time in my job expereinces. Now I'm sick and totally frustrated. History, it seems repeats itself...
It hurts to know that my colleagues (much younger than I am) are happy about their teaching positions which they have been assigned to. I however, was assigned in one of the worst schools and much to my regret I was assigned a Grade 6 class. What!!!? I am specialized in the Early years and Grade 6 is simply not for me...to make matters worse it's a 6B class...wild wild wild. No thanks. Of course I would have accepted the job if I were given grade 1, 2 or 3 class even though the school is not a good one...of course I would have but year 6 is unthinkable...and what's more, it is well known that If I am to accept the job you will most likely be assigned in the same grade next year and after...no! The idea of being unemployed is haunting me like hell but I weighed all the possibilities of the postion I've been offered and I can't bring myself to accept it. No, I prefer going through the stressful period of finding another job than accept that...and why should I accept? I graduated from Uni as the others have so I deserve a decent position as they do.
No alternative teaching positions will be offered although I am still fighting against the grain....however, I am not having high hopes so I have forced myself to accept the fact that I have to start searching for another job - one which has nothing to do with teaching. There's nothing much I can do. Maybe I can wait for a year and then apply in private schools (I applied in 2 this year with no luck but next year I'll apply in more)...maybe I'll be luckier.
Jee, I had so many plans like buying a good camera and travelling plans for next year..but hey, those won't come true. I don't want to sound so negative as I'm positive that I will get in a decent teaching position in the future but it's just not for now. Hopefullly, I'll get a job for the next months...that at least would be much better than nothing.
I will let you know if any news comes up. Thanks for listening.
Maria

University life is over
Dear all,
I can't believe the time has come for me to relax! The four years at University are finally over - they have been challenging but despite all the ups and downs I made it. I must confess that getting into Uni was something I had never dreamed of but this experience has taught me that believing in yourself is an asset worth having. Well, it's a long, long story and I won't get into it now. I also won't write much...all I wish for now is an early grade teaching position in a good school. I can only hope for the best...but in the meantime I am intending to enjoy summer and r-e-l-a-x!
Thanks for all your support you've shown throughout.

University Theatre Performance
For some of you who were wondering about that drama audition...which was today...well....I got the main role!!!
By the way, this theatre performance is an initiative by the Primary Department within the Faculty of Education. All the cast and crew is made of students who are reading for a degree in primary teaching (such as myself), coached and directed by a team of established theatre professionals.
Well, that's just a little something about the University theatre performance which is put up every year...
...This year we are going to put up 'James and the giant Peach' by Roald Dahl...yes, what a coincidence, one of my favourite authors ever...and guess what...I'm so happy...welll, I got the role of James!! A huge role and I have lots to study but I love the character, I love the story, I love acting so although I'm in for a big one, I'm very much determined...! The performances (there will be more than one) will be in April so these 2 months are going to be very hard work...with rehearsals and props, and sponsors and all the other things...and we don't have to forget that the rest of the lectures, assignments etc wil still be on, so that's double the effort...but I'm very much looking forward to all of it.
I've only taken a part in one theatre production some years ago and I didn't have the main role then...so it will be a bit of a challenge this time...but I love what I'm in for ...so I guess I should do really well. Wish me luck!
I will update you on this as weeks pass by...and why not a pic of how I would look as 'James'...
xx Maria

It was GREAT to hear from you!!!!!!!!!! I do miss writing to you, as I have lots of share!
Maria, that is so amazing, now you are a teacher !!! 12 kids does sound a lot!! How many girls and boys? So, you will be a very strict teacher ? I think it is good to be strict with kids! Even I like the strict daycare teacher of Daniel, he feels he cannot be HER boss At home, he feels he can be a boss though, he even calls me "Nadia" and not mama!! 
Oh Darling, of course, i also hope to be able to share my lucky news about the new puppy...But it seems the dream is still far away from me I just stupidly spend time online looking for dog advertisements
Thanks for writing, no worries, i perfectly understand how busy you are! Do take care! -

And I am still without a new puppy and I still miss Linda Hopefully, one day indeed I will have good news to share with you! Sending you all my love and care!

Maria, dear!
I am happy for you, it is great! I was sure, it will happen soon ! When do you start teaching that class? Good luck to you, dear! Now, I know you will become very busy, but no worries, we all understand.
I am really feeling down, checked Linda's photos and feel so sad Thank you, Maria, for understand me, I know, I should just go and get a puppy...I hope, I will be able to love it as I did Linda I checked shelters, and most of them have pitt bulls I really prefer a puppy and maybe Golden again, to remind me of my Linda...I dont know I cannot decide, and that bothers me... But I am determined to go against everybody's apathy...and get one puppy. I cannot feel happy like that I know, you understand me. All my love, and thanks for your care

Dear Maria,
I could read some days ago what was happening to you. I wrote a comment, in fact, but when I pressed "Post" the screen froze and I lost it. I was so disappointed that I gave up writing it again. As I wrote then, I was so sorry to hear your situation. It is unfair, and guess I would do the same you did since sixth graders are not in their early childhood anymore. However, I was sure that something else could be offered to you and now, when I read your new saying I felt happy inside because the possibility is here now. Please, let us know everything as soon as you know all details. I knew it would work out in the end!
Maria, excuse me for my silence but my situation is the same. I am fighting hard to solve it, though.
Thinking about you! Stay positive and strong!
Love,
Beatriz xxx
PS: I LOVE your pets-videos!!!

Hey Maria!!! Good luck to you tomorrow!!!! See, I told you, whatever happens is for the better! You will see...in life, that how it goes
I will be thinking about you.
I am so dying for a dog and I cannot figure, what I want, especially because my mother is not even enthusiastic to get another puppy I am feeling down, I already email the lady to ask her about the price and all...And now, it seems I cannot get a puppy again. Maybe Linda doesnt want me to get another one !?
Anyway, sorry for rumbling nonsense. You will be in my thoughts tomorrow! Good luck! -

Maria, dear! Head up! Everything is happening for a reason! You cannot work where you are not happy!!! It would be a nightmare, as you know! I am sure, you will get a job sooner or later! Better said, sooner than you think! A little patience is always be rewarded. I know, dear, how uncomfortable it is to wait at the moment
But it will come, you will see! I am also struggling with my company....I work 2 out of 5 days !!! I am keeping my hope though...somehow All my love, and thinking about you!

Hallo Maria,
tut mir leid das ich mich nicht mehr gemeldet habe, mir ging es nicht so gut, wie geht es Dir? Ich hoffe das Du einen Job bekommst und vielleicht wenn nicht an einer Schule doch eine Arbeit finden kannst. Gib nicht auf und Kopf hoch. Ralf vermisst Roberta sehr und ich auch.
Liebe Grüße Angie -

Dear Maria,
oh of course we dont let her suffer at all she is in the vet clinic now and they try to save her life, but they told us that chances are not that good and they cant promise anything, they just do waht they can but if not they put her to sleep. I am really agitated about this right now, just hope that all goes well for her and she isnt suffering.
I am so sorry that Chanel had to go through this too, it is so painful to see them dying. Roberta's lungs are full of mucus and water, so... we will see. Please think of us dear. Hugs to you and hope things are soon better at your place. Love Angie
