I didn't get the job.
And the news probably couldn't have come at a worse time. It's finals week, and those who know me know I am pretty unorganized and forget to take attendance, which means that this week is all about a rush to catch up before grades are due, as well as deal with students begging me to up their grades. The ones begging at the end are usually the ones I refuse to do that for. Especially when they plagiarize TWO papers!
Sigh.
My mom is wavering a little on the UL deal now that I didn't get a job and I may not get much in the way of financial aid. That scares me shitless, frankly. I've been getting ready to leave, anxiously.
So now I'm furiously trying to find a job. As soon as school is out for a couple of weeks I'm tearing through the internet to find something. Anything. Even teaching for online schools (something I'm on the fence about. I don't like the idea of upper level education being totally online. There's just something wrong about it).
I've seen better days.

Damn, I'm sorry about the job. I really don't think you should waste the UL opportunity, though. Do whatever it takes . . . aside from prostitution. I suggest you draw the line there. Let me know if you want any help with your job search or need some company to take your mind off of it. I've got my fingers crossed for you.
ReplyDeleteI know someone from Lafayette whose friend's in Master's program at UL, and she says that the English Department will cave and give out an instructorship with just a little pressure. And that's as a Master's student. So that's good news.
ReplyDeleteHis name is John. I'll hook you guys up when you get there. Maybe he can help you punch through.
