Bridging the gap

Ok, so I guess I’ll pick up where I left off four posts ago. I withdrew from the teaching program a few weeks ago. I’ve applied for a few positions in the field I originally wanted to get into. I’ve made improvements to my resume and cover letter that better communicates what they’re looking for. Anyway, we’ll see. I don’t want to mention what the positions are or where they’ll be. I’d rather just talk about what happens than what might happen.

In the meantime, I’ll be doing a “whatever job” at Target. *sigh* I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I’m glad that I’ll be earning a paycheck. But on the other hand, this is incredibly humiliating and depressing. The last time I had a setback this big was when I didn’t make it into the military. But I replaced that with going to university to study biology. That’s a decent trade.

Well, I still need to be patient as I’m certain I have a shot at these other positions I’m applying for. I don’t see myself ending up at Target. But from my past, I know it’s easy for me to get stuck in these kinds of jobs, both because I get too comfortable with them and also I have a hard time trying to do more than one thing at a time because I always focus on what I’m doing. ...Anyway, I’m not going into that right now.

Um…so, yeah. There you have it. I’ll write more when I have more to say.
