TGIF
“Thank god it’s Friday!” I thought this phrase was only part of the employed species’ vocabulary until I became an unempludent. Unemployed people rarely use the TGIF phrase because when the weekend comes, what are they really relaxing from? But when you add the student bit into the unemployment equation and replace lady of leisure “funemployment” activities with new unempludent activities (like long lectures and memorization of a bazillion new terms that you can’t even pronounce), come Friday the unempludent’s brain is ready to burst.
So yes, I’ve survived the first week of school with very few bumps and bruises, but I’ve got a long way to go. So much information has been covered in just the first week of school that I can’t imagine trying to cram anything else into my wee little pea brain. All those brain cells of mine that have been slumbering like a bear for more than a decade were rudely awakened, but it’s nice to know that brain cells do come back to life. It’s also nice to finally see a path instead of a brick wall as far as my career goes.
Anyway – more to come next week – just needed to make sure everyone knew I was still alive. TGI-effin’-F!
I went back to school too but only temporarily and as a teacher at a community college. I am getting confused. I went from unemployed to underemployed and now to temporarily overemployed. It will not be long before I will be underemployed again. I look at my students this week and think I may be switching places soon if I can’t get just right employed. I feel a little like Goldilocks. So I agree TGIF. Hope it goes well for you.
Woohoo! Finally, it was about time that you wrote a new post. Just kidding. I was waiting patiently and I’m glad to hear that you’re still alive!
Your school makes it sound like you’re studying science or maybe, something really techie. Yes, I’m just guessing and making things up for your own entertainment.
TGIF – Ha! No comments. Well said.
Learn lots.
Have fun.
Keep blogging.
Finally, I’m glad that you now see a path. Good for you. Way to continue soul searching.
