"There will be no tears. Something will happen. Do not cry."
This is what I've been trying to tell myself for the past month. I don't know if this is my punishment for waiting too long to start looking for jobs, or if I don't look that great on paper, or if this is something I'm not really supposed to be doing. I've applied to 11 openings that I have found, and have only had one interview, which I have heard nothing back from. I keep trying to tell myself that a lot of schools don't really hire anyone until closer to the beginning of school, but who am I kidding?
I haven't had an emotional breakdown yet, so no worries there. But, come August 1st and nothing, I can't promise anything. lol
I've also applied to teach English with CBF (Cooperative Baptist Fellowship) in South Korea, but who knows what will come of that. I probably have to be certified in TESL, which I'm not and it's a bit pricey on top of my certifications for teaching here in OK.
So, I sit here talking to my friend Jill, and thank God for her! Love you Jill!!!! As I look down at my typing fingers and the ring on my thumb, I'm reminded to have 'Faith'. Faith that something good will happen. Faith that I won't be living with my parents until I'm 40. Faith in God.
Oh, and I have to take the OPTE again. ARGH!!! Could my life suck any more right now?!?!?!
No it can't...because...I'm off to New York City on July 27 for a few days with my parents. My 5th time there, and I'm still SUPER excited!! Dad is taking me to a Mets' game, and it's going to be FREAKIN' AWESOME!!! David Wright, here I come!!! haha Hopefully, being there will help me keep my mind of not having a job...EEK!!!!

Hi there, Hal's mom. Don't get discouraged with the job search. And don't for a minute think you aren't good enough. My mom was a teacher and as you know, both my sons are now as well. Hiring takes place in a flurry toward the middle of August. And there's always substitute teaching, get your foot in the door somewhere and it will all work out. Have faith!
Caroline!! I had a blast with you this weekend...49 cent fountain drinks, orange tree yogurt, manuevering around T-town...too fun! Something will work out with the job!! You are too great of a person for it not to!
