And now, a quick update of my life. Nearly a year has passed since my graduation and I still have yet to secure a job in my chosen field: Law Enforcement. I have one last application in at Goose Creek PD (whose snipers killed my friend John in 1999 and whose officers last year were nationally roasted for pulling guns and using dogs during a fruitless drug search of Stratford High). If I don’t get the job I am also up to be a student in next year’s College of Charleston class. But, I am really hoping to get the police job, for my finances right now resemble an inevitable train wreck. If I don’t get the job, I will have to say, “screw it” and just get my J.D. instead of pursuing my PhD. in Medieval history. (Le-sigh) Sometimes I just wish the gods would slap me upside the head with a clue for the plans they have for me. Do they want a pagan cop who will become a pagan teacher, or a pagan lawyer doing civil litigation?
As my mom said “do I introduce you as my son the cop or my son the shark in a suit?”. She would prefer I became a shark because she fears having to attend my funeral. I need to pray more. Hell I need to stop being a bad pagan altogether. So much I can do to improve my life if only I can pull my ass up and get it done.
