The Bright Side...

This post is a little more optimistic than previous ones... Things are actually going pretty good, and I'm actually pretty happy. I mean, who can't be happy with the weather we've been having lately. I had to copy this map off the Weather Network website. Take notice of the east coast. It's 28 degrees and sunny in late September!!! It's amazing! It's hard to stay bummed for too long. It makes it easier to swallow the knowledge that the cold weather is inevitably right around the corner. And the cold weather is going to be easier to swallow by the hours and hours of curling on TV!!!



On the teaching front, I've got lots of subbing days on the go. Substitutes may not be regarded in the best light by the students, but it is what you make it, I guess. I'm trying to have fun with it, and not take it too seriously. And I'm loving having lots of free time. Quite a difference from the last few years! And it's nice actually getting paid to teach!

Some people...

Just in case I forget why I left this business...

Still Alive

So I know I've sort of dropped off the face of the earth. But truthfully, I've just been a little blah lately. Summer's over, which is good because it means that I am done at the restaurant (*everybody cheer*). But the school year has just started, and there are no job prospects as of yet. I'm not sure why everyone was constantly saying how easy it was going to be to get a job due to the fact that sooooooooo many teachers were retiring last year. Well, I was only qualified to apply for a total of 10 jobs, none of which I got due to the hundreds of other teachers (with more seniority) who are also competing for the same jobs. So I'm feeling a little discouraged right now. The subbing calls haven't started yet, so I'm a little bored. I'm trying to enjoy the break, but it's hard not knowing what the future holds. I'm glad everyone is doing well, though! Gives me something to focus on. Anyway, hopefully something will come up so I will have some good news to post. In the meantime, I don't really have anything going on that anyone would find terribly interesting. So keep doing interesting things, everyone, and keep posting so I have something to read!
