Well, we're down to the end of the semester, thank goodness. I don't know how many days I have left, exactly, but I do know that last week wasn't anywhere near relaxing enough for me to get ready to dive back into the fray. I'm such a stress wuss, really.
Just when I thought I had things straightened out for next semester (fall), my Magazine Writing professor had a little talk with me in her office. Apparently she's not teaching full-time in the fall, and wanted to give me a heads-up regarding her position, which will be opening soon.
...
Yeah. I was floored too.
I tried to explain to her that I really don't have the credentials necessary for teaching upper-level writing classes -- that my specialty is in literature. She didn't seem to want to hear me on that, and made me promise I'd apply for her job when it opened up -- she'd even write me a letter of recommendation.
...
I KNOW!
However, I really can't get the whole tea-shop thing out of my mind. *sigh* I'll think about it for a while. I do enjoy teaching, and I'd be teaching at a proper university, rather than a community college, so the pay would definitely be an improvement. We'll see. I was getting really excited looking at vendors and stuff.
Anyway, just a quick note to all on my friends list -- I'm going to be friends-locking most of my posts in the coming weeks. The final project (one of the options, anyway) for my writing class is to keep a blog (using different "New Journalism" techniques in the entries). Somehow I don't think my prof is going to want to read about most of what I babble on about here, so the UNLOCKED entries will be... uh... interesting (I hope), but the real, unedited, frivolous, bunny-fun will be under a friends-lock.
Because so many people read my blog anyway. Not. ;)
Oh, and before I forget...
Open Note to All Drivers Traveling along Florida State Highway I-95 Northbound:
Pass on the LEFT. THE LEFT. I realize you're impatient to get to wherever the hell you're going -- though I think you're probably a tourist trying to save money by staying in Cocoa rather than Orlando, and you're more than likely on your way to the theme parks -- but passing on the right means that the slow-ass in front of me can't get over into the right lane, so all you're doing is fucking up traffic MORE.
DON'T DO THAT.
Love and Kisses,
Niamh
PS: Another note to whoever was driving eastbound on state road 520. Those were double yellow lines you were passing on. That was my car you were heading towards. DON'T PASS ON DOUBLE YELLOW LINES GODDAMMIT.
