I Need a Job

"There is many a bestseller that could have been prevented by a good teacher."
~Flannery O'Connor

At the moment I am in a high school reading classroom subing for a coach. I have been subing for a couple of weeks now and I realize that I really do not want to teach high school. Although easier than middle school in many ways, I find high school not quite as rewarding. I find all of that little kid stuff, but not really little kid stuff, appealing. I like that I can have bulletin boards and ticket drawings and still see the really sweet side of every child before they get older and more hardened. But they're still old enough to have a little bit of attitude with me. It's cool! sigh. So, basically what it all boils down to right now is that......I NEED A JOB!

But I can't think of education/employment right now because there are much greater things to be worried about at the moment. Such as the following:

MUSE!!!!! on Sat. in Austin with really awesome people attending. :)
Sleeping
Doctor's Appointments
and the most important
GRADUATION!

Ye-haw! I will soon have a bachelor's degree! Now I can say that I've done something with my life since I haven't been working at a job for 6 years. sigh. Now I can say "See, I'm not completely worthless! I can contribute to society!" Yesth, I could say that, but I feel the same. Hum, funny how that works. Anyway, I hope I will turn out to be one of those "good teachers" who will prevent some of the future best sellers in this world. Wish me luck!
