"Changes are happening / It's too late to turn back"
I had an excellent time in Minnesota. It is always nice to hang out with my friends. I also enjoyed seeing a bunch of former students. In fact, seeing students just reminded me that I really want to be a teacher again, so that was a nice benefit of the trip.
2007 will bring big changes for me:
- I will have my Master's degree -- I have my comprehensive exam in two months, so I will be quite busy studying for that.
- I will take another leap to somewhere new -- Since I have to let Brainerd know by February 1 whether or not I am coming back from my leave, I have pretty much crossed that option off my list. It was never really in my plans, but I always thought it would be nice to have the back-up. But without the back-up, I will be more determined to be where I want to be. So, I hope that in the next several months I have a job lined up for the fall. I am starting the job search and application process. I will be going to a suburban job fair next month with 19 copies of my résumé in hand, and I have begun setting up online applications at a bunch of schools. I am a bit nervous because many of the suburban schools are top-notch and therefore highly competitive, so I will be up against a lot of candidates. But I think I have a few good things to offer. We'll see how my life changes forever in the coming months.
