I've decided to start school this fall.

I think I can make the finances work out. It'll be close, but I believe we'll be okay. And if we're not, I'll figure something out. In the end, I've realized that academia is my intellectual home. That's where my comfort zone is, where I belong.

I'm a nerd. I should go be with my people.

And as for the details, as Delenn says, faith manages.

Yeah, so... the disaster job is still posted, and still no call. I'm gonna guess at this point that I'm out of the running.

No word from UC yet on if my reference letters have gotten there. I guess that's what I'll start putting my mental energy toward now. I had a dream the other night that I was teaching again. It was biology, and it felt good, and I was good.

(No, I don't believe in signs. I'm just sayin'.)

And if that's how it plays out, that's fine. I can look forward to the summer, hopefully spending more time with ghoulchick and her kids during the day. The new marketing director hinted that they may want to keep me on in a different job. *shrug* Depends on the job, I guess. And the money.

And if not... well, I can still email UCC. In fact, I may do that tomorrow, just as a safety.
