You shot out of hell like a bullet from a gun
I think one update a year is sufficient? My future children might appreciate it? wait children... haaaa
Anyway, I quit my crap-tastic job at MA.
The fact that the principal did not even say anything in return to my resignation proves that school just does not care.
I know I was an awesome employee and it was their loss for sure.
I made a move and an opportunity popped up for a long-term subbing position in the Rochester District.
I had interviewed with the high school, was one of the top candidates but did not get the job.
My name was then passed down for the subbing position.
I am currently doing some shadowing for no pay, but it is necessary.
The school and teacher I am working for are fantastic
It really solidifies that leaving MA was a great decision.
I hope experience at a reputable school will open more doors for a full time position.
I am not used to have 34 kids per class (wow), but it is something I can adjust to.
With no pay and my lease up in October I am in need of making a move, literally.
No 26 year old want to move back in with their parents, but with no guaranteed work past January and a slowly dying car, I am left with few choices.
Even harder that Leah lives at home and my aunt is moving in due to her lung cancer.
So it's not ideal, but we will see what comes of all of this.
Things to note.
I have been going to the chiropractor to correct my crooked back and uneven hips due to rugby.
once I am feeling better I would like to start running again and sign up for 5k's throughout the season to keep on track.
I am no long distance runner, but out of all cardio I feel like I accomplish the most when I run.
This is all pending.
My back is recovering slowly, and sitting around is not the best for my waistline.
especially when you go from running about 10 miles a week to nothing.
it's ok though, just a matter of time.
I just cannot help to think that I expected to be a lot further in life at 26.
I did all the "right" things.
Yet, I am still basically unemployed with student loans looming over my head;
with more loans in sight as graduate school approaches.
I guess putting in perspective I do not know that many other people my age that have been able to live on their own and work in their area of study.
Still, I am not everyone else and I expect more of myself.
I will figure it out though.
What I do know is that hard work pays off and I am one of the hardest workers.
So my journey may be taking a bit longer than expected, but I will have to try my best to enjoy the ride.
Life is much too short.

As for today, we move my Aunt in the house.
