It seems like I just keep on waiting...
I worked the election this past year and I got selected to be an election official this year! I'm really excited because it was a fun job and it paid well - but...
I feel as if I'm stuck a little bit. I want to say yes to a whole host of things, I want to start a whole bunch of projects, I want to commit myself to things in the 2009-2010 school year, but I'm still holding out hope for a few things I haven't heard back from:
1. a job in NYC or DC
2. going to grad school in Canada
3. Fellowships, grants and other monies that will allow me to finish my degree here.
As it stands it seems like next year will be a place-holding year. Nothing planned, nothing set, just the hopes and dreams I'm desperately clinging on to currently.
I want to get started on a whole mess of things, but I feel I can't until I know. I don't want to assume the best or worst. I just want to know so I can plan.
I hate this icky feeling.
Part two:
I just spent the past few hours making 300 name tags for the teen theatre festival. I also have to finish the program, create a new lesson plan for a costume workshop, hire a new teacher to teach my old class, and make 50 lunches for the kids who need a free lunch. /a lot of this stuff was supposed to be done by other people, but you can't force people to commit to a day where all they get is $100 for two hours of work. Ugh - this is the worst Spring Break ever. Snow and constant grunt work. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited about the festival, I've loved planning it up until this point, it just that we have 6 days left and it's just getting stressful. I'll be happy when March 10th is here and it's over and it's another notch in my resume belt.
Part three:
I need to buy my plane ticket sooooon - I'm hoping JHU can pay for it out of my paycheck before they pay me, but we'll see. If anyone knows of any good rates can you let me know? I saw a great flight from JetBlue for $130 from DC to San Jose, but I bet that's over.
I can't wait or it to be June, and I've heard about a great future job, the Canadian grad schools, and fellowships.
My best friend has it right - If everything goes well for me, I need to buy a lottery ticket, it just seems so unlikely right now that all I can do is pray every day until something works out.
Part four:
There is no part four.
Part five:
See part four.
Hope things are going your way!
