Depending upon the district...
Roll with the punches so to speak.
You never know what you will be teaching/subbing on any given day.
Don't let the kids see you sweat!!! They will try anything with a sub.
You will learn as much about the faculty as you will about the kids. Some faculty members are very prepared with lesson plans, etc. when they are out. They are usually the same ones who will read their kids the riot act if they "breathe wrong" when they have a sub. It will be a joy subbing for them because everything will be organized for you and the kids will be very well behaved and know they can't get away with much.
That being said, there are always a few teachers in a building that will make you wonder You will have to go on a scavenger hunt for lesson plans and the desk will look like a landfill. Kids will try to get away with everything because there will be no consequences when the teacher returns...
The good thing about being a permanet sub is that you see many a variety of teaching styles, organization styles, classroom setups, etc.
It's be over 14 years since I was a permanent sub but I do have to say I learned a lot while doing it.
good luck.

If the district is smart they will pair you up with this teacher for at least a few days, ideally a week or more, before she/he goes on leave. That way she can go over procedures with you.
I'll be leaving for my leave the third week in January. Despite a posting they haven't even interviewed anyone because they pickings have been VERY slim, no one who has applied has experience at all, never mind teaching AP World History or College Economics... oh, and I teach a third course.
To be honest, I'd need at least two weeks with anyone for them to take over my position.
Hopefully, your district is willing to pair you up for a good number of days so the transition is as seemless as possible. It's a small price to pay for a full-time teacher and a sub for a weeks or so to make sure everything runs smoothly and to avoid problems in the long run.
Make sure you ask a lot of questions.

that is exactly what I am hoping and not to be placed elsewhere in the school.

How exciting! The kids might be a little crazy this week but don't let that get to you. You could probably expect the kids to be excited about meeting a new teacher but also trying to get away with silly stuff. Try to enjoy it! The days will fly by! Good Luck!
