No work again...
So, it's almost 7 AM, and no work again today. Actually, that's not true... there was ONE position available this morning in Branford, but it was at the high school, and it was in math. I mean, substitutes don't seem to do all that much anyway (or at least in my experience they don't), so I probably should have taken the job. I don't know, though, there's something about high school kids that is so unsavory to me. I mean, I haven't been out of high school all that long myself, so it kind of freaks me out to think that I would be in charge of a group of high school kids. If I don't find any elementary work next week, I guess I'll have to get desperate... we'll see...
Oh, and since I've been thinking of tutoring as well, there's a Website called www.tutornation.com. Despite the fact that I had the very same idea for a Website a few months ago (someone was more forward-thinking than I was, apparently), I think it might be worth trying. It just seems like everything takes money that I don't currently have. I need to pay to get my fingerprints processed, I need to pay to get fingerprints done, I need to pay to be certified by the state.... the list goes on and on. Where does all the money go? Why are there so many fees for everything?
Part of me just wants to say, "Screw it! I'll take a job as a para or an aide and make $8/hr. At least I'll have some reliable work!" but I don't want it to come to that. It's only been a week, and I can survive. I'll get everything taken care of, and I will be in a better frame of mind once I actually get out there is an ELEMENTARY SCHOOL classroom. I do have some guaranteed work on St. Patrick's Day, as one of my former colleagues at Walsh will be out. Hoorah!
Birthday count-down: 5 days!
