Hello everyone! I decided to dust off the old blog and write a little something. I realize from looking at my entries that the last entry I made was at the end of our first semester. This entry is being written one week from the end of this semester! (Okay, so I am not sure what the point in that little ramble was, but anyway).

Things are just as hectic as usual during this all-out sprint to the finish. The difference this year is that I am secretly looking around at teaching jobs in the DC/Metro area. I have told only one person here that I am doing it, and so it feels really good to write it on here and tell someone, because the little white lies and half-truths I am having to tell people about some of the things I am doing are about to drive me mad. I am going to a job fair in Virginia this weekend, and I have had to tell everyone that I am going to visit my sister. I hate lying to them, but small schools are like small towns--If you don't know what your doing it's okay because eveyrone else does. I love the people here, and I especially love my students, but I feel the need for a change. I have always wanted to live in the DC area, and I don't want to wake up one day and realized that I didn't at least check it out.

I thought that I would feel a lot of pressure about looking for a job, but I really don't. Of course it is easy to look for a job when you already have one. I am a little nervous; however, because I haven't interviewed for a job in nine years. I have to keep telling myself that it should be so much easier this time because I have worked for nine years, and my experience should be a huge advantage.

Okay... I believe I have rambled enough!
