I am increasingly in denial about what I will be doing in the fall. I have this irrational hope that I will be hired miraculously and be teaching in the fall, but that's just it: an irrational hope.
There are no teaching jobs. None. None at all around here. Compounded by the fact that I am in denial and have only applied to approximately 5 schools, you know where I will be in the fall, in reality? Unemployed. And once again, living in my parents house.
I have no idea what the best way is to apply for jobs. For the 5 districts I have applied to, I filled out applications online, uploaded my stuff, and hoped for the best.
I have simply turned into one of the many anonymous applications online. And am in denial, living simply on hope.
But alas, it is summer, I am living above Giordano's (thank God I'm out of my parents house - I love them, but I suffocate living there). It is warm, my apartment is nice, my roommates are nice...babysitting and working Frog and Toad. Naperville is beautiful in the summertime.
And in August, when school starts back up again and I have no classroom to go to...well, reality will be smacking me in the face. Hard.
The end.
