I got a job for the fall!!! I was just hired as a teacher's assistant at a special services district near me. I'm so excited! This is the job I wanted. It's not teaching so it will be less stressful and it will give me a chance to decide whether I want to continue in teaching or not. It's still in education though and it will give me a chance to see how special services classrooms work and decide if I would want to be a teacher there. I will continue my master's program for now just in case I love it and do want to be a teacher there.

It's just such a relief to have a job! Unemployment is giving me problems so I wasn't sure if I'd even be able to get it. They're saying I was fired for misconduct which isn't true at all. I was going to have to contact my union rep and go through all that to get my unemployment. Now I don't have to worry about it.

I had a rough day overall with some triggering dreams this morning about being in IP and then the guy I was seeing saying he wants to see me again but doesn't want to "get attached". I was feeling pretty dejected but at least I have a job! I'm no longer unemployed!
