A hunting I will go...

Sigh. The last few days have been a little frustrating. I’ve been hunting for a job tutoring, mentoring, or part-time teaching position (mostly afterschool programs) and am stuck in the “waiting stage.” It’s hard to just wait around—especially since students are used to making every minute count. It isn’t that I have been “sitting around” doing nothing: I’ve been reading, working out (woohoo time to burn off the turkey!), chipping away at some extra footnote stuff for when my thesis is published in May, and doing application stuff for further graduate study. The waiting game isn’t a fun game to play! I think that every vocation has some sort of uncertainty about it. We go to school for years and years and it can be a scary thought to realize that a job might not be waiting for you immediately when you finish up with everything. Well—of course our education isn’t “for nothing”…but it is disheartening at times. Hopefully it will be worth the wait.
