Pictures!!!!
After 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.

The class I was in today was reading Riki-Tiki-Tavi by Kipling, and I attempted to give them some historical background on Kipling, and talk about "The White Man's Burden". Went right over their heads. *sigh*
Keeping you and yours in my thoughts and prayers. Hope things work themsevles out. *hug*
