Hi everyone, I didn’t want to post here until I had made some good positive progress in my life. So here’s my latest update.
-
Me and my friend have completely smoothed over our argument we had over a trip I had bowed out on. We both agreed that we were both somewhat at fault. I’m flying out this weekend to say hello and visit. Things are well
-
I just ran my first half-marathon in four years. Finished with a time of about 2:19. I was very proud of myself. It was a mental battle more than a physical battle. Essentially part of my mind was yelling at me “you can’t do it, you’re not good enough”, but I literally talked to myself out loud and forced myself to keep going. It was a huge victory for my confidence and ego. Yay.

The best news of all. I finally landed an interview in my home town, and they offered me a substitute teaching gig. They also promised me they would try and find me a position for the fall. My interviewer said I had a great interview and it looks like there is lots of demand for teachers in my area right now. So after seven years of trying to get into teaching in my home town, it’s finally happening.

All of the above has happened (happening) within the span of a week. It’s been a good week!

Now that I have confirmed employment for the fall…I don’t need to take summer courses for a possible career change. Which means I will likely treat myself for all the hard work I did this year. Looking into planning a trip!

Life is now officially awesome. It’s been a year of me rebuilding myself. I think I’ve done, and am continuing to do a pretty awesome job. Thanks all for encouraging me, and or kicking my ass. It’s been a journey.
