Highs and Lows

High's:
  • The month of July was amazing!
  • New Orleans was a great experience; life changing and faith inspiring.
  • Camping Extravaganza was PHENOMENAL! I got to go back to Michigan for a great 2 weeks. We went to Calumet, cliff jumped in Marquette while visiting my brother, saw Pictured Rocks and Mosquito Falls (yikes), Taquamenon Falls, Whitefish Point, took our first trip to Mackinac Island and got the wettest I have ever been in my life, spent a great couple of days with my parents in Traverse City swimming and eating, and then a great end of the trip in South Haven with his family.
Low's:
  • Summer is ending.
  • Vacation is over.
  • Found out I start work in 7 days...1 week...UGH

I had high hopes for this summer and believe me this has been above and beyond my expectations. But one of my prayers was to find a new place to teach, and I feel like I have exhausted my options. I am stuck. No body is hiring anybody, not just me. I just wanted to start this year fresh and that doesn't get to happen. So instead I swallow my pride and march back to work and do the job. But that is exactly what gets to me! "Doing a Job". Teaching is supposed to be more than that...and I am in a place that has sucked the love of teaching right out of me. It is just a place that I work so I can get paid.

I've got nothing else.
