Path Changes
After a long discussion with Elli, I decided not to apply to either the Elk Grove program or the CSUS program for post-grad credential training. Partly, I decided this because I don't have time to properly do the applications, but mostly it's because I don't think either of us can cope with another year and a half of (relative) poverty. Elli may be well paid, but two of us on her income alone would be entirely too much stress on our marriage.
So this means that if I don't get into either of the two programs I am applying to, my teaching career is gone at worst, delayed at best. So now, in addition to getting those applications in, I'm also looking at publishing houses and other traditional "English major" jobs. Not fun, but *shrug*.
This does not really improve my stress, but oh well. This is what is.
