It's official. Well, quasi-offical, at least (I'll be signing a lease as soon as I can get down there). I'm moving to Long Island. It is on that great island where I'll pursue my first teaching job. I'm really excited and nervous about this. With the Olas debacle, the indecision and the living situation seemingly in the past, I can say I'm very excited about my expedition for a teaching job.
I know it will be hard. I know that times are hard, but I'm confident that I'll find something. I just need a shot. I'm going to write this despite the fact that I know it'll make me sound pretentious: I just need an opportunity to showcase myself. Everything I've done I've been successful at. I am meant to be a teacher. I know it.
I hope I can find a place that I mesh well with.
It wouldn't be my blog if I didn't have a Radiohead lyric: "...a jigsaw falling into pieces." It's almost feeling like this one's very relevant.
Just finished reading a bunch of books, too. I'd like to talk about them. Maybe I'll try to resurrect my book club. I know there's at least a couple people who'd be interested. I've got interest... now I need reliability.
