what happened to the dirty water?

So, it looks like this Boston girl might be taking her act down south to the land of the Evil Empire and the five boroughs.

Since I graduated two weeks ago, I've been going on interviews for full-time jobs. I really want to get some more full time teaching experience under my belt before I apply for doctoral programs. I've been sending out my resume since February. One would think that the Boston girl would get interviews for teaching jobs here in the Bay State. I mean, how many colleges are here?

Fast forward a couple of months. Several rejections later, I finally get some hits on my resume for teaching jobs. In NEW YORK. Yes, dear readers, you read that right. I have my very first interview for a full time English teacher position at one of the top charter schools in the city. Much to my parents' chagrin, the job is in Harlem. And I just realized that I am navigating the NYC public transit system by myself.

Oh, lord. What did I get myself into? So, if you see a confused looking curly haired girl in a suit, its probably me. Keep your fingers crossed that I don't get lost and my accent does not come out.
