Less Chaos

Hello Everyone: I had a quieter day after my frenetic Monday. As I was drifting off to sleep last night, I had a chance to reflect on the actions I took to better my situation. Although I'm not crazy about applying for another student in order to take the community college training course, I strongly believe that this is the right path for me. I'm just going to follow the Brit BF's approach to life and be Zen about the whole thing. In the meantime, I applied for a couple more jobs, one of which is at a local bridal and formalware shop. Could come in handy one day and they do have a nice selection. I just wish I finally see some, ideally positive, results. One possible career job dropped into my inbox about a couple of weeks ago. It's with a multi-state, multi-national infrastructure planning and engineering firm based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with a local office. The position is an entry-level assistant planner and they're looking for someone(s) who's organized with good relevant skills. That's definitely me. What I lack in actual experience, I make up for in being a quick learner and hard work. If the corporate powers that be decide to interview and, go so far as to hire me, that would definitely end my plans to teach community college. Why am I so keen on teaching community college? Teaching is something I can do fairly well. I feel completely comfortable standing in fron of a room full of students and delivering a lecture. The only thing is I need to learn the "mechanics of teaching" i.e. how to write a lesson plan and syllabus,creating assignments and evaluating them, preparing for a lecture, and so on. It's a lot of material to absorb but I can manage it. The best thing about the teaching program I chose is that everyone seems so chill. I like that. Now then, if I could finally get a (please positive) response from the places I applied to yesterday and today, I'd be happy.
