Too much on my plate.
I think I might be trying to do too many transitional things in one go. Here are the details:
I applied a while ago to a library job and have just recently had my interview. I'm waiting for a response currently, but I know the hours I would be working and am playing a waiting game right now. If I'm hired, I have to put in a new availability. This is a little tight because -
I'm trying to transfer to a Cup O' Joe from Stauf's. I'm just tired of working here, to put it as plainly as possible. I talked to Amy just this afternoon and she said that in as little as a few weeks they can start me over at the airport store. I made the mistake of telling her "yes!" right away without asking for some time to consider the change. I now regret this whole-heartedly. In the past two hours I've talked to enough people to decide that the airport is just not the right place for me - it's too far away from where I'm living, I have to pay for my own parking, and the hours are awful.
Of course, if I get a job teaching in Korea, none of this matters. I applied to Aclipse not more than three or four weeks ago, and I'm already in the application/hiring process. I had a very successful phone interview this past Monday and received an email today letting me know that I'm being considered as a candidate. The next step is complete a handful of forms, etc - including an essay, a video introduction, and a more official application - and submit these items to the recruiter by this coming Monday. It's not impossible, for sure, but I work the next four days, plus I have to get this transfer situation squared away, and I'm actually incredibly nervous about the essay because the topics are all very academic and I'm, quite frankly, not very mentally prepared to write without doing a bit of research on the various topics. I think the time constraint is what might be killing me about this, in any case.
I guess that's it? I want to try as hard as possible to get this teaching job, but I'm afraid I'm focusing so much on short-term things that I might end up messing something up along the way. What's also weighing a little heavy on me, I think, is just knowing that, if I get this job, everything I have going on right now is just temporary and I'm torn between feeling dedicated to my job right now and just not caring because I might be leaving soon, anyway. And that seemed like a bit of a run-on.
At least I have things going on in my life, though, right? I said to James just yesterday that I feel like I have more going on in my life than I've had the entire two years since I finished school, and it feels. Really. Good.
