A Plan

Hello Everyone: A pretty peaceful start to the week. The Brit BF and I had a nice chat about last night's bombshell interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Judging by the comments on my social media feeds, the revelations unhinged a lot of people. Frankly I now get why they felt they had to step away from their royal duties. It's not something anyone in their right mind would want to do unless you're born into and even then, not so much. Insane way to live. Anyway, I did a quick bit research today on what schools the teacher training program works with and was pleasantly surprised. I had it in my head that I'd end up in one of the worst schools in the local school district, spending the bulk of each class period on getting everyone to sit down and pay attention. Turns out the program has partnered with some charter schools as well as the local school district so I can request assignment to a better school. I'm not going to worry about that for now because I haven't even gotten an interview yet. This program is occupying a lot of head space because it would be a life altering thing--going from sitting at home for most of the day to earning a living again. Wow, what a concept. Anyway, I have other options that I need to explore but my focus is singular, lead the class, not fetch copies for the teacher. At least I'll have a funding source for the credential exams. My ultimate goal is to formulate a historic preservation curriculum for high school students. Ideally I want to get placed in a school with a strong arts program. Again, I'm jumping way ahead of myself but I need to have some sort of short-. medium-, and long-term strategy in mind so I don't waste too much of mine and someone else's time doing something that doesn't serve anyone's (mostly my) purpose. Do I have ambitions? Sure doesn't everyone? I think it's just part of human nature to have a greater version of yourself as long as you remain open to other roads toward your goal and don't get too full of yourself.
