Anyhow...I passed my MTEL (the Mass. teacher's test) which is fabulous considering that I don't know of anyone that passed both tests on the first try. I usually suck at tests so I'm pretty damn pround. I've tried to look for positions (English for High School) but since the school year is well under way I don't think that I will be able to find anything to apply for until the spring. My current license lasts for five years at which point have to prove the completetion of a certified teacher's program. For the meantime I'm putting that on the back burner since I have to deal with something a little more immediate.
Monday morning I was let go from my current job. It was a combination of things...lack of incoming work (I was a concierge) and no part-time position openings at the office where I worked. I would have had to do an hour and a half commute paying $168 for a monthly commuter rail pass when my check would be half of what I make now. On top of which I would lose my medical insurance. Definately not worth it. Overall I think it's best for me I've ben happier since then and have been really concentrating on my job search for something better and on my writing (hence the other blog).
In reference to my previous blog I'm still on the fence. My friend Christa once told me a long time ago that if you pick something apart too thouroughly you may kill it. Those weren't her exact words but the general gist of the thing and I'm wondering if maybe that's what I've done here.
Tangent: Have you ever had a conversation that you had a while ago, even years ago, sometime just pop back into your head? It's like they're connected to trigger words or something. This spouts from my comment that Christa made above.
Maybe not thinking about it will fix it but then would that make me a hopeless romantic?
