sometimes all it takes is a few days off...

I'm feeling much better about a lot of things these days. A nice weekend in Tampa was really what I needed, I think.

I've decided that I'm not going to fret and cry anymore about not getting into a PhD program. I will regroup, I will get my shit together yet again, and I will try once more.

I have also decided that I do not wish to teach at the college anymore. It's not that I don't enjoy teaching, it's more along the lines that I like the concept of making money. I have an MA for chrissakes. That should count for SOMETHING. So, I'm starting the uber job hunt. Private high schools, publishing houses, even the Barnes & Noble corporate office. I'm okay with relocating.

I will work while I put together my PhD applications once more (unless, of course, I find that I freaking LOVE my job), and if I get into a program next time around -- I take the opportunity. But I am sooo tired of waiting for something to happen -- and that's what it's felt like lately. Waiting. Nope. No more. I'm tired of being the college's bitch. I'm tired of busting my butt without anything to show for it. I got screwed out of summer classes, and I think that was my wake-up call.

So. There we have it. My game plan. It's not much, as far as game plans go, but it's more than I had last week.



You are a GRAMMAR GOD!


If your mission in life is not already to
preserve the English tongue, it should be.
Congratulations and thank you!
