I was let go from my job on Friday due to budget issues…. yup.
Friday was October 14th. Last year on this day, I wrote the following in my journal:
“Coffee with [one of my old professors] was really awesome. He made me think about how this is really a long haul, starting over, and that’s okay. Things zig-zag a lot. I think I really want to teach next year. I think (now) that I’d be a good teacher. I will apply.”
