In my last post, I know I made a "decision"...but I realize now that a "decision" doesn't always mean "final decision" - so in other words...who knows where I'll be working next year. I have my days of leaning towards staying with Teach For America and days leaning elsewhere. Right now, I'm keeping my options open and applying to jobs here in Chicago...I need to see what's out there and maybe find something better than what I have at TFA. We'll see - and I'll keep you posted. It's really weird to look for a job when you already have one. Last year, as I was preparing to graduate - I knew that I HAD to find a job...I couldn't work at EGARC all of my life...so this job search is different - still stressful, but different. It is also nice to know that I want to stay in Chicago whereas last year, I had no idea where I was going. It's crazy, but thankfully I've got quite a support network of family and friends helping me and cheering me on in my search/discernment of what I'm doing to make car payments after the month of July!
This past weekend was the Recruitment Team's long weekend - so I got both Friday and Monday off. I headed east towards Dayton to spend some time w/ the Buschelmans and watch KU claim another conference championship. It was so nice to be able to be with family and not have worry about work. I had a weekend like this with the Reddigs in Madison right after our final deadline here at TFA - and there is something about having the weekend to truly relax and regain balance from a busy work week. So this, in a way, leans me towards finding a M-F type job ...but who knows. Somehow, everything will land the way it is supposed to...it always does.
I'm pretty pumped about March Madness this year...I've got a good feeling about our Jayhawks and I just hope they can make it to the end! I'm always loyal no matter what...even if it means losing a pool here and there. Rock Chalk!!

Wow! I get first comment dibs! If only I could remember my username and password!
Heard about the great weekend from Liesel! Sounds like a good time. Next visit to Madison should include manicures!
Good luck with job searching! Talk to you soon!
So a "decision" isn't always final? Nice! Now I can get out of all kind of deals...didn't I tell you once that I was going to pay off your car? Oh well, no longer! =)
So, Madison is out? Well, Chi-town isn't too far away I guess...and if you do get a better (read: M-F) job, then you can visit more often!!! (forget what Liesel said about you seeing me too much!)
So. . .normally, I get a heads up that you updated your blog. I should have known that you would have blogged about the absolutely best weekend ever in Dayton. It is sad to read your blog in light of the recent loss, but I know we have a weekend coming up in Chicago to look forward to!!!
By the way. . .Sunkist: on sale for 2.50, should I pick up some for Chicago? Ruffles are on sale again too. Just let me know :)!!
