Hmm. I don't even know what just happened.

Over the holidays I was wandering around the internet and found a local community college that was hiring a screenwriting instructor. I applied, knowing it was ridiculously late for this semester but what the heck? I also sent an e-mail to the chair of the department because that seems to usually work out better than just applying in the regular way.

They called me on my cell phone today to say that their current screenwriting teacher won't be able to teach the class this semester and would I be available? The class starts on Tuesday.

I asked if she wanted to set up a time to meet in person to talk and she said "I thought that's what we were doing right now". Hmm.

So were meeting on Monday and the class starts on Tuesday and as far as I can tell I have the job. That's so weird. Too fast. I'm very happy about it, but it's so fast!

I have some experience teaching college. I can already see how this is going to go. I have to go in there well prepared to ask questions because they are just going to assume I know what I need to know. Teaching the class is no problem, but every school has rules and proceedures that I need to know about.

I'm feeling very weird about how quickly this happened. Going to have to spend the better part of the weekend prepping for class. I think I'll make them all sign up with JU and have an online forum!
