...this is what I have to keep telling myself. Ever since I graduated, all I've wanted to do is cry. I NEVER thought I would say this...but I actually miss school! I'm SO bored without it. I feel like I have no life without it and I feel like I'm going nowhere without it. I just watched Post Grad...a movie about a girl that is a college graduate and can't find a job anywhere. My life right now in a movie...except I'm married and she wasn't. I felt just like she did..."I am a college graduate, I'll find a job." You would think that because I am a college graduate I just might be at the top of the list, right? Wrong. Everywhere I applied to I didn't even get any call backs. Everyone kept saying to try substitute teaching...I'VE BEEN TRYING! Madison School District isn't hiring any more subs because they have too many, Sugar City makes you take your resmue to all of the schools before you can be considered to sub (I took my resume...still haven't heard anything), Rigby wanted another letter of recommendation (I already turned in 2...how many do you need for a substitute teaching position?! COME ON!). And both Booneville and Idaho Falls school districts are applying on line and they will call you for an interview...yeah I applied in November. Still haven't heard a word. Just thinking about it makes me frustrated...but it's all good because I've found 3 jobs now. After searching and searching and searching from Rexburg to Idaho Falls...I am finally busy. But now, I am a little bit too busy. So I work at Motherhood Maternity now at the mall in Idaho Falls. I had never been there, but dang they have some cute clothes. I am not pregnant...but maybe I should stock up on my maternity clothes while I can get a discount...anyway. I don't like working retail, but it's what I've got for now. And I work for OpenBook with my brother Scott, which isn't bad and I can set my own schedule and work from home...at least I would be able to if we had the internet. It's REALLY annoying to get out and go to the school to work when the whole point is so I can work at home. Annoying. And finally, St. Anthony called me for a LONG TERM SUB! I kind of wanted to quit Motherhood right away because this is what I was hoping to get. But instead, I am keeping Motherhood and just working nights and weekends. Just thinking about it kind of makes me want to cry...but for different reasons than before. Now I am a little over whelmed with work. But it's okay. I am hoping that this sub job (that goes until mid March) will get my foot in the door and maybe...just maybe I might get a real teaching job for next school year. Let's keep our fingers crossed. And pray. Teaching is what I LOVE to do...and I'm good at it. It's what I have wanted to do since I started to babysit when I was 11. So hopefully, things will get better and I will have a more steady job.

YAY for a long term sub!!! But I feel your pain with the working situation. I'm a sub but there are so many that I pretty much sit on-line all day hoping something pops up and I can grab it! haha not exciting!
Congratulations on the long-term sub job! I am doing my student teaching in St. Anthony right now. What school will you be at?
