govcampbellAfter months of stalling, we have FIANALLY engaged a photographer. I think it was fate/kismet/divine intervention, what have you.
I went up to see this guy's portfolio, and we exchange a little small talk, blah blah, kind of thing. I mentioned that I was trying to be an American history teacher. We're watching his photo slideshow and he asks me what my specialization is, I tell him military history. We then proceeded to spend the next half hour talking about the Civil War, how Jackson was a genius, trench warfare at Petersburg, the whole shebang.
We had such a great personal rapport, and his pictures were dynamite. Things do work out after all.
Other than that, I've been doing a lot of subbing. Mainly at Middle Schools, which is NOT my chosen field, and with good reason. Middle schoolers, I've found, with a few exceptions, are far harder to control than high schoolers. Middle schoolers are just plain too rambunctious. *Sigh* But it pays, and it keeps us in the black, temporarily.
I'm too excited about the photographer to get down on my current state of employment though.

Keeping you and yours in my thoughts and prayers. Hope things work themsevles out. *hug*
