Things change

I went for my second interview on Monday. They said they would get back to me by Wednesday. I couldn't sleep much Tuesday night and spent half of Wednesday asleep- half-hoping I could just sleep until they called me

I thought you wanted to be a writer - not a teacher (it's been awhile since I've read LJ regularly). When did the teaching thing surface?

Ideally, both.

[hairsute]

Teaching is something I enjoy and I think it will be good to be working on something career-y while I decide if writing is something I have the interest- or discipline- to pursue (and it's also something that I could live with doing for a long time if the writing thing takes a while to go anywhere). Also I've found that when I have nothing else to do, I frequently am unable to get any writing done. And not only do I love working with kids, it also gives me a ton of great stories, some of which I plan on not-so-subtly stealing later on for my own use.

Re: Ideally, both.

Be careful - parents (myself included) are quite wary of men who want to work with kids. Too many freaky-ass stories out there.

Understandable

[hairsute]

Though I've found that it's advantageous, as well. A lot of kids seem to respond very well to male teachers since they're comparatively rarer. The fact that I'm hairier than Shmuel HaNavi is a bonus.

Congratulations!

I swear, the first year post-college is just determined to be painful.
