So I've been applying to loads of teaching jobs. Mostly teaching jobs. I aim for at least three every day. I had a phone interview yesterday, and I've got one or two coming up soon. Most of them lately are in rural areas. Half of me would have a blast living out in the country, for the nature and the huge amounts of space and the wildlife and such. The other half would feel uncomfortable in such a small, conservative, set-in-its-ways community. But if I get a job like that I could stick with it for a year or so, and then if I didn't like it, keep looking elsewhere.
I'm going back to camp. If you didn't see that coming, you don't know me very well. The last two jobs I've had were taken, of course, but I'm going to try my hand at being health staff. I don't have much medical experience, but I'd be working under two nurses and a nursing student, just helping with things, giving out meds, and performing basic medical care like putting on band-aids. It's not something I'd ever given serious consideration to before, but I'm really excited about it, and I think I'll like it. I'm really looking forward to not being anyone's boss. That's not something I enjoy overly much. I'm taking a hard-core CPR/First Aid class before camp starts, to be more prepared.
Until then I'm working at the barn and tutoring a bit still. Walking with Peri. Teaching him to roll over (he fought it, but he's getting better now). Writing. Reading. Seeing movies. I keep busy.
I guess that's it for now. More news as it develops.
