conneries

scared to open my mailbox this morning!

sent emails to all 36 schools except for 3 last night!

ok i have to admit, i called at least 5 directors by their first+ last name, i wrote to about 5 secretaries (school email) addressing the directors, and I called at least 5 directors Ms or Mr such and such when it was what they had written on the webpage. i'm thinking about 50% of all these people must be mad so i've lost already 8 schools. my fault.

aaahhhh i am afraid of opening my mailbox...

....14 messages!!! ....



... ohhhh my gosh, 2 directors accepted for the pilot, and 1 for the big thing. good start :)

ok i see one major problem: i didn't specify that IEPs didn't need to have any nonnative speakers working at their school to be able to participate. ... 2 directors wrote me saying they couldn't participate because they didn't emply nonnative speakers. one kindly gave me names of other programs and directors to contact. that was a dumb mistake!

the very difficult thing now is to reply to everyone, because everyone's responses are different, and i don't have a nice template anymore, that i can use for everyone with a few changes... i agonize over words for hours to make sure i say what i want to say, don't insult anyone, don't loose any opportunity by making mistakes... i wish i spoke english better!
