Painful

No interviews.

Some flat-out rejections.

No prospects.

Some serious doubts.

When can i stop feeling like a lonely seed, floating on the breeze, at the whim of fortune and fate?  When can i land in fertile soil and put down rooths and grow?

I'm supposed to be calmly listening to the universe.  turns out I don't know what to listen for, or even if I speak the same language as the universe... what if i miss my cue?  What if my opportunity comes and goes without me because I couldn't recognize it when it called to me?

I really can't do all this for another whole year.

I really can not.

On a mostly unrelated note:  how do you teach contractions to a first grader without just blatantly giving away the answers?  You try it.  I bet you you will end up just telling them the mystery word.  It is so hard to explain 'will' and 'could' and 'are' (i mean ARE?!?! this one is especially tricky because of it the whole 'am' 'is' thing! jesus.) without just blurting them out.
