i got offered to "speak to someone" at a school. education is my major so i'm kind of excited but also soo nervous.

i don't want to work around little kids but i neeeeeed the money. so i'll suck it up and i mean little kids aren't that bad anyway. i already have questions planned i think and i hope i'll be able to come up with good answers on the fly but the worst part is GOING IN to the interview and im not talking about "hey how do you pronounce your name haha? aaah well my name is so and so" i'm talking about this part. where i'm going to have to walk into a school and tell the front desk lady (who probably DOES NOT KNOW I'M COMING) "hey um excuse me is [X] here? i'm here for an interview!"

how do i phrase that professionally? i'm so nervous about that part. and all schools in the city are locked so i have to buzz in which is soo awkward. i'm not very good at hearing with intercoms so i really hope i can come talk to the desk lady face-to-face.

why is it always a desk lady btw?

ugh i'm soooo nervous!!! it's next thursday at 1:30 after my classes. the fact i don't have a driver's license is also worrying but i really hope it won't be that big of a deal. i hope.

i think my tax returns will go to summer teachery-clothes. especially looser pants and skirts and stuff so that way i can run around and jump. i really want to jump rope but i'm only good at jumping rope if two people are holding it. (it's also been a decade since i've jumped rope so who knows)

ETA: my hair is rainbow. I forgot about that. I'm going to have to dye it a normal color and I'm not looking forward to it :(

depends on where you work, but i've worked in schools (at least where i live) a bit in the past, and they were fine with rainbow hair! might depend, but it was fine here.

that is so reassuring to know. I live in the bible belt so my mileage will probably vary but my city is pretty ok with that sort of expression (or at least people never sneer at me). i will just have to ask. thank you!!

I am not in the bible belt, but i did live in an uber conservative city/state, and they were pretty enthusiastically cool about it! i think asking about it is a good bet - shows you're willing to swap it if needed, and if they're cool with it, then you're good on that too.
