Interview with a Vampire

Well, I had my first job interview yesterday. I like to call it "the time the head of the ****** Board of Education talked to me and all I could tell him was my name, age, and address." I seemed like a captured prisoner under interrogation:

"I don't know what train station I used!"
"I don't know why I want to teach elementary kids instead of junior high kids!"
(At this time I remembered some advice from one of my books- "If possible, inject some humor into the occasion.")
I said "Watashi no "junior high" wa chotto kowai deshita!" (My junior high was a little scary!"
He laughed and then assured me "Nihon no gakusei wa genki desu!" (Japanese students are good!")

Actually, it really wasn't that bad. He knew my 日本語 skills weren't so hot before we even sat down so I wasn't too upset. There was a job opening when we set up the interview in America. He told us to meet up with him when we arrived. When we called him, he said he didn't think the position was still open but come and talk anyway. The person that was leaving had decided to stay but was still kind of iffy. He'll know more in about a month and then call us back. That gives me time to become fluent, learn the station names, and find plenty of garlic and silver bullets- Wait. That's for werewolves!
