So as it gets closer to graduation and finishing up my M.Ed. in the TEP at UCSB, that decision from my last post is looming more and more on my mind. All the job openings that look appealing to me are in Northern California. I did not want to be working to far from my hometown, but it is looking more and more like I will. There is a job in San Mateo that looks really promising. It's a medium sized school. Again though, it is just so much farther north than I would like. It really is a shame that the market isn't much better.
I talked with some people, including family. The consensus seems to be that I should apply and just get a job. I think I will apply once I find all the paperwork I need. At the very least I will have an application out there, and possibly a job interview. Even if I do not get the job I will still have that experience. It is just hard to accept the reality of not being able to work where I want. That's life I suppose.
In other news, my class seems to have finally taken to me. Hey, it only took about 4 months (sarcasm). Instead of giving me attitude, they mostly just give it to one another. Although, that is another problem I am dealing with. I don't know what to say, they are freshmen.
We are reading Romeo and Juliet, and so far it is going fairly smoothly. I wish they would pay more attention when we read aloud, but as long as they are passing the comprehension quizzes and show they are understanding what is going on, I can't ask for much more.
Just thought I'd give an update of where my head is at right now. Plus I'm laying awake thinking about it, so this is my method of getting it off my mind so I can sleep.
