The future is hazy.

Yes, I mean, I’m about to graduate. That’s awesome. But we’re in a time when people are getting fired all the time, and I just… I don’t know if, once I start looking a month or two from now, if there will be good jobs out there for me. So I feel like I should exercise all options.

Which meant applying for Graduate School.
Ugh.
The last thing I want to do is have more school. THE LAST. But I was told about the Teaching Assisstantship thing on campus, and it just seems way too good to pass up. Basically, I can teach a class and work at the University Press some more and have all school fees waved, plus get paid for my work. So, basically, I can get paid to get more experience in the field I want to work in and get a few graduate course hours.
It really does seem like a good thing to do. I can’t just pass it up. So I’m not. I’m signing up. If I get a magic perfect job before the semester starts, I can always drop out.
It does bring up the question of what I’m doing about transition… I’ve been waiting forever. I’ve been waiting for graduation to move away, but if I do this, then I won’t be moving away for… hell… another 2 years at least? So, you know, I’m going to do it anyway. I’ve waited long enough. I deserve it. It’s only going to make more stress, especially with the parents, but who cares. I need to be happy.

Of course, just applying creates headaches. In a one week period I have to fill out all these forms, pester people for letters of recommendation… it’s been exciting times… but I think I’ve got it all in hand… still, it’s been a lot of extra stress. I’m too easily stressed.

Stress! Yes!

Anyway, I guess that’s what’s been going on with me in the “Real” world.
