Well... (Lots of "I" statements)

It's been a while since I've written in this blog. But, frankly, it is because there is nothing to write about. This entry comes out of frustration and jealousy. This WHOLE summer I did not get one call, one email, let alone one interview for a job. Frustrating. I have no job. I am signed up to be a substitute at a local school district, but I have not received any calls. Even more frustrating. I am now looking for a job to work at in the evenings so I can be free to sub during the day. This search has been fruitless so far, as well. Icing on the frustration cake. I am jealous hearing about everyone who has gotten a job, whether in teaching or otherwise. I just feel so useless. After all my education, working for these qualifications, I am left here letting it go to waste.

I wish I had gone to Vietnam to teach. Hindsight:20/20? Definitely.

I know I will probably look back at this entry and realize it was just a small setback in the grander scheme, but I am disheartened right now.
