Getting the hang of things...

I think I'm starting to settle into a life here. I drove downtown today, during rush hour. And I didn't die from stress. First time ever! Downtown is not so bad here...its nowhere near Toronto, and its totally manageable once you get used to it. Not that I want to go downtown all the time now, but if need be I feel capable in handling it.

I was downtown because I was checking out where my interview is on Thursday with the school board. I wanted to know how far it is from my house, and what the area is like so I don't get lost, or I don't feel stressed for time. I want to keep as calm as I can on interview day. And downtown driving is a stress for me. So I thought this might make it less stressful.

I'm trying to stay calm for the interview, and not over-think things and be myself. But I'm not good at selling myself. And there is a lot riding on this interview, so I feel the pressure. This is the start of my career here hopefully, so I need this to be a positive interview. I can't even think what will happen if this doesn't go well. I'm just trying to stay positive, I have a lot of people rooting and praying for me, so I just need to be calm and confident. That's what I keep telling myself anyways....we'll see how that goes over the next couple of days...
