Home

Well, I made it home for the first time since Christmas, minus a brief stop over to pick up my sister at the end of her Spring Break. I don't really come home much anymore. 2 more jobs came available today...looks like filling out applications tomorrow...we are somewhere in the 50-60s on applications filled out...I am really getting tired of this, but with each passing day I see more stories on the news about how many teachers are being laid off...jobs are not opening up, they are being removed.

Lord grant me the strength to press on so that I may find faith in the job market. Help me to find comfort that I put myself into the teaching world early on working at summer camp instead of for minimum wage at a fast food restaurant. Give me the chance to prove myself that I may find a job to fill.

One Step Closer

Well, I have a job...for the summer. I was just hired on at Conner Prairie to work as a Lifeguard for the summer. It will be a little bit different then when I worked at Tamarack, WLSR. I will essentially be a river guide, lifeguard. I am looking forward to it except that it will mean an hour and a half drive every morning. Well, I guess I am used to it after student teaching...and being that it is a lifeguard job, I may just be able to roll out of bed in the morning and hop in my car, take a shower there or when I get home. We'll see how it goes, until then. Trusting in the Lord that I will find something permanent.

A New Start

Well...here we go. I am now a college graduate. Seems funny to say that but after 5 years, go victory lap, we made it and now I am in the real world...only problem is the real world isn't ready for me and doesn't have a job for me. I filled out 8 applications today, bringing the total to around 50 some...I should really check that number.

We're going to try this whole blog thing out...I may just be excited about this tonight and never touch it again...or I may continue to use this and get a lot out of it. All in time.

Job interview tomorrow at Conner Prairie!!!
