Hardy Har Har....

Back to school...but in a weird way. Not only am I a student this year, a gradual student, but I'm also a teacher. Granted, I'm not teaching what I spent the whole summer prepping for, but still. Hardy har har...

It's funny how things will work out even when you have doubts in the beginning. I resigned from the program I was in because it wasn't in tune to my big goals. I know, it's hard to believe I have big goals, but I do!! I made three phone calls last week. Three! Only three and I had 2 job offers. One for tutoring and another teaching in Gallup (yippy!) Then yesterday I got another call from my boss in Gallup about doing book reviews for money. Somehow if I've done the math right, I might actually end up ahead with my money at the end of the month. I know...I can't believe it! And the best part is....FREEDOM! I have my freedom back to a certain degree.

Granted, I still feel a little bad about leaving the special program, but then again, I don't. It's weird. I feel better like I'm closer to where I'm supposed to be. I'm in graduate level classes that I'm taking now which is exciting. I am teaching at the college level which I love. I am also getting to do some pretty cool things regarding my main field of study, Microbiology. I'm not having to deal with APS or OPC all day, every day ( OPC=other people's children). It's lovely.

Oh and then there is the freedom part. My classes are essentially only 2 days a week. One of them is nearly all online so we meet once and that's it. the others are all on Tuesdays so it gives me free time to do other things like work on my business plan, get my house in order and what not. Oh and study...gotta do that too!

So I am happy. Really happy. Hardy, har har.....sometimes you gotta take the bullet and walk away because honestly, if you aren't going to look after yourself, who is? Seriously....

Hardy har har.....This professor is back in the lab! Oh happiness! Oh joy!
