Falling Into Place

It feels lately to me, that my life has been at a crossroads and I've really just been standing still. Yesterday, my college e-mailed me and told me that the program that I would be taking there starting this summer, is now being offered online. I flipped out! If I got into the online program, then I wouldn't have to move, spend all that money, and I could still work full-time while going to school online. It seemed like fate had stepped in! I immediately called the college, and applied for this new program. I am not sure when I'll hear back for it, but I will be staying where I am for a little while longer, till I know for sure. My coworkers at my job now were pretty happy that I was staying, and honestly so am I!

So, I just wanted to take a minute and share this amazing program with others. The University at Buffalo is now offering the Library and Information Sciences Master's degree with a concentration in School Library Media Specialist all online. As long as you live 60 miles from Buffalo, you can be a candidate for this program. Here's the link: http://gse.buffalo.edu/online/mls-lms. So check it out! There are only 24 spots available, and you must apply before June 1st!

I am excited for my future, and what it may hold now. I just have to get through the next three to four weeks until I find out everything! Wish me luck! :)

Everything Happens For a Reason, I hope!

Just recently, I was turned down for the Teach For America position, that I spent long months applying and preparing for. I can't say that I wasn't disappointed to read the generic "Sorry you did not get it" letter they sent me. It was hard to see my dream of working for Teach For America, and finally being a teacher get dashed, especially with a generic letter. I really had a great feeling about the process, and left the interview feeling like I nailed it. I guess that I didn't impress like I thought I did. I broke down at first from the shock that I didn't get my dream job, and then I cried because I realized how badly I did want it, and how wrong I had been. Later that night I talked to my mom about what had happened, she knew I was upset about missing this opportunity and offered some advice. She said like so many do, "Everything happens for a reason." At first I was annoyed, because I feel that so many people use this logic as a cop-out. But, as...

So Lost...

For so long I have been focused on getting a full time job, and now that I have that I am once again focusing on my future. Questions just keep plaguing me like: "What am I going to be doing in a year?" "Will I go to grad school?" "Will I get a teaching job?" "Will I stay at my current job?" "Will I get another job somewhere?" And now I just can't seem to get these questions out of my head. I feel so lost.  I don't know what to do, where to apply, how to find new opportunities. Ever since I was a little kid, I have been striving for something. Whether it's doing well in sports each season, or getting good grades at the end of the year, getting Top 10 of my class, and then graduating high school, then it was doing well in college, finding a good major, and then graduating. Now that I am done with all that, I am finding that it's hard for me not to feel a little lost, lonely, confused, and without purpose. Once I discove...

Book # 38 Water for Elephants

Thanks to a co-worker who lent me the book, and friends and family that told me how amazing this book was, I finally read, Water for Elephants , by Sara Gruen. I have been hearing rave reviews from friends, family, coworkers, online sites, and other blogs about this book, and I have to say that I agree whole-heartedly. This is a wonderful book about love, life, the circus, and how connected people can become with each other and animals in such a short time. It's a stunning tale of the carnival and circus people of a time long ago, and how their lives revolved around the circus, the performers, the workmen, the animals, and the crowds. I loved all the characters in this book, and it was really interesting going from the past to the present with the main character. The love between Marlena and Jacob is so wonderful, and pure that it's a great part of this book. I also love how involved and invested Jacob becomes with the animals and some people in the circus. It's a tale of...
