So, don't get me wrong- I think the choices I have made will help me to better my chances at getting a teaching position somewhere- but sometimes I think it was a DUMB idea!
I don't think there is a worse feeling than working your butt off for 4 years, getting good grades, and graduating with a bachelors, than sitting at home on your couch, waiting for the phone to ring! Everyday when I wake up to my alarm clock, rather than some spastic secretary's voice looking for a substitute, I realize that's just another day of sitting at home, trying to find things to fill the time.
I just have to keep telling myself my time will come. I will get my blessing, and until then, I guess I just have to ride this one out.
