To market, to Market

After being reminded the people actually (read: sometimes) look at what I write on here, I decided to put up a much needed post.

A big flying bug just landed on my hand and I freaked out thinking it was a moth. Just thought you oughtta know.

The final days of my final semester of college are rocketing towards me. It's already Friday night, my last Friday night of school. I mean, there's exam week, but I have a 9 a.m. exam on Saturday so I don't think I'll be doing much besides memorizing Chinese terms that night. It's weird to think that I won't be seeing my friends much more after May 22. Weird being a synonym for sad in this case. It's not like high school when we knew we'd pretty much end up in the same state...now we're all splitting up to different parts of the country or world, wherever our jobs take us.

Speaking of jobs, I was rejected for the KWHS job. I don't know why, probably because I bombed the interview. There could be other reasons, but I think that's the most probable. Now with that disaster behind me I'm looking elsewhere for some kind of employment opportunity. After becoming depressed while browsing the VA Employment Commission's website and seeing that almost every job that's not hard labor required about 2-3 years of experience, I decided to look back into teaching positions, but in South Korea. I had left my resume with a South Korean school at the Curry Career Fair, but had forgotten about it until I started looking at jobs. Even then I didn't think much about it until I got an email this afternoon from someone in Curry saying that the president of the school in Korea would be contacting me soon. I read the email, put my head down on my bed, and started laughing hysterically....the possibility of me moving to a foreign country becoming more and more realistic as time flashes forward.

I went to see the AHS production of Phantom of the Opera tonight and I was smacked in the face with the reminder of why I've never been able to sit through the whole thing before: It's SOOOOOOOOOOOOO boring. I don't know what the proportion of slow songs to medium-paced songs is, but it's got to be like 20 to .5 or so. Which I guess would be 40 to 1. Either way, OMG. The kids did an excellent job though. My babies.

My foot, for the most part, is better. Rather than feeling broken now, it just feels stiff. And in typing that last sentence, I realize how much Polish has taken over my mind as I tried to spell words as they would be in Polish. And speaking of Polish, Lany Poniedziałek was this past Monday and I totally Śmigus Dyngus-ed my former Polish teacher. I was going to put something on Facebook about it but it would have come out sounding like I did something in a sexual manner with her, and that's not the case at all. I don't think either of us would have been down for that. She's a good sport about having water thrown on her as she's teaching though.

I'm back to being single, too. When things break down to just the nominal sense of being with somebody, I'd prefer just to not have it. So, I guess I'm back on the market for that...I'm also currently in the market in which people pass by and say "Oh, you, you're Social Studies? We've got nothing for you." And I look at them, smile, and say "Fuck you. I'm going to Korea."
