Let's try this again?

I have another interview on Thursday. It's just an "initial interview," but it's for my old high school. They're looking for a librarian, and said they "prefer someone with library science degree, but will consider someone interested in pursuing the degree." Well, I'm already in the process of pursuing. I know it's what I want, and if I didn't find a reason to stay in Quincy in the next year, I was going to move to wherever I wanted to go to school. I've already started the application process for a couple of schools.

We'll see how this goes. If I did get this job, then I could get job experience while getting the degree--something that has been severely affecting my attempts to find a job now. So this could be really good. Plus, I love my old school. And, with my English masters, I feel like I could be incredibly versatile for them. If they needed me to teach overload classes, or tutor, or anything like that, I'm already qualified. And I can keep teaching my night classes at the local community college, so I'm keeping up with my teaching experience as well. This could be a really, really good opportunity for me.

Wish me luck.

Having a big-girl job is SO overrated . . .

I am now officially full-time in footwear at the 'mart until our regular lead gets back. It could be 3 months, it could be 6. Either way, I'm working between 32-40 hours each week. And I hate it.

It's not so depressing anymore. Truly. Now, it's just tiring and annoying. At least being a temp-full-timer, I have some benefits that I didn't before. Like every other weekend off. Plus, the extra $ will be nice, especially with the holidays and a bunch of weddings coming up.

Right now, I was going to blog about what's been new in my life lately. But frankly, I'm too tired. So I'm going to go make dinner, and then settle down later to watch some Glee.

I miss being a kid.

But then again, endings can be really, really hard.

My Grandpa died early Friday morning. On Tuesday, I looked at him for the last time, and yesterday, they dug a hole and put him in the ground. At least now my Grandma isn't alone in the cemetery.
