The Cold Shoulder

This week has a been a real downer. Ever since I found out I got dumped for the tutor job I've been in a funk. I feel anxiety creeping in and all that ickiness that makes for second guessing oneself, and it's not a good thing. Plus, it's been as a cold as a a witch's arse this week, and that never adds any comfort to the situation.

I start back to school next week—thank the gods. Maybe that will keep me from focusing so much on what's not going right. I'm just sort of at odd ends with myself. My friend and mentor Karly says that it's normal for me to feel at loose ends with myself since I am not student teaching anymore, and it is a good sign that I really do want to teach. I'm exiting this stage of stability as a student into a more tumultuous time. It doesn't help that I heard that 85,000 people lost their jobs in the month of December 2009. What a depressing outlook on the situation.
