So Now What?

So now what?  I’m done with class.  That goal has been met.  I now have to wait until grades get posted before I can submit my credential paperwork.  Do I wait for the local high school to contact me, or do I start looking at all districts?  I need a job!  I’m starting to line up the sub jobs, which is good because by June they’ll be gone… and so will I shortly after school gets out.  Between now and then, I would really like to know where I’m going to work next year.

Today was an expensive day.  I took my car in for “minor” service and a smog check.  At the Porsche dealership, “minor” is still $900.  I can’t afford to pay this every year.  Not on a teacher’s salary.  I need to find another place that can service my car, or I’m going to have to get rid of it.  I don’t want to, but it’s costing me a fortune  just to keep it on the street.
