new job...

So now that the holidays are over it is time to start thinking about what the heck I'm doing with my life...which at this point really means my job. My position with Teach For America will end in July and then who knows where I'll go. There's a part of me that wants to find something else...see what else is out there. And then there's a part of me that wants to stay on in my current position. I know that after this year, I could make some serious changes to make the position so much better and livable. I would apply for the Senior Recruitment Associate position which would also put me in the "mentor"-type position...helping train the new RA's coming in. I feel that this is what I've done in the past in my four years at EGARC, two years at Douthart, and the two leadership positions w/ the March for Life at St. L's. So I guess that could be good...I just have to figure out what would be best for me..

I guess I'm just confused.

One thing I do know is that I am finally "okay" with moving here to Chicago/Evanston. While things haven't been perfect, I know now that it was the right decision. I was basically just on God's ride for this move and trusting that He would help me through it all - give me friends and family that would keep me alive. And He came through. I'm so close to the Reddigs in Madison and just a bit of a drive to Dayton to see the Buschelmans. Plus, after deciding to fly to Kansas City...I realized just how it easy it is to get back home when I need to. And the friends that I have made at work have truly been life-savers! So Chicago is my kind of town - at least for another year. I think I'm going to look for an apartment in the city...depending on where my "potential" job is at. If there is one thing that I've learned, commuting time is certainly important.

So I've finally updated my resume (imagine the accents over the e's) and I'm ready to see where I'm headed and who I'll meet along the way. Here's to a blessed 2007!
