Tomorrow, I'm headed to another state capitol to see about teaching. They'll look at my transcripts and tell me about the Lateral Entry process... since I know nothing about it... The worst case scenario is: I get to have lunch with my little brother. The best case scenario: I land a history position in a high school in a cool city. There a total of three cool cities in this state.
My other plans include running. I spoke with my cousin with whom I did a 24-hour adventure race about fighting the DPI. He told me I didn't have a snowball's chance in hell because the guidelines are linked to state and federal funding. I told him thanks for explaining it to me because I was going on logic rather than funding. But, while we were chatting, he told me that he wanted to do an ultra marathon. I hem-hawed. But, I think I'm in for phase one. I'm planning to run a marathon on November 16; it's a local one so it's no big commitment. I won't run for time; I'll run for completion-- with a goal of 4:30 or 4:45. Then there are several fairly local 50 k's and 50 milers in January and February. Then there's a really nice (flat and temperate) 100 miler the first week of April we could do.
I'm so depressed and despondent about employment that I think I need a new outlet. If I stick with this, I'll see results... unlike applying for jobs or dating.
