Wow, I never heard someone pin what's been bugging me. The timeline thing. I know what you're talking about.
It's like every year from 25-30 is a precious thing. One slip up and it seems like it will take forever to recover. I have the next 4 years of my life so booked trying to meet some kind of wierd goals I have for myself before I'm "30".
Go on an adventure. You've just freed up a massive amount of time for yourself. So if there's no bills to pay - go do missionary or volunteer work in a far away country. Teach English in Europe for a year. Work on you. The social life will always be where you are, so long as you look for it.
We treat mishaps like sinking ships and I know that I don't want to be out to drift Well I can see it in your eyes like I taste your lips and They both tell me that we're better than this

My high school geometry teacher once told me that 7 x 8 was 52. If you are smarter than this, then I'm sure you can get a job in good ole' hickville, Virginia. Not that this is a place where friends or family reside, but it's a low cost of living place with plenty of nice - however somewhat unintelligent - people

i know. its completely crazy talk though. And this guy i turning 30. Not like his life changed at all anyway.. being that he still has a job and a home.
As an addition.. i have only been teaching 1 year. Perhaps that is why i feel this immense pressure to do it again. Though at this point i dont want to. Im afraid though that if i dont do it this year.. then how will i ever want to get back into it next year. Of course I also would like to be getting paid and not working next summer. But really most of all as i sit here and think of my options i think of what an obstacle it is going to be regardless of my choice. To move to new york i need a job. And if i dont teach.. or stay in the field teaching.. then what? Do i really want to do temp work or waitress again? Then of course i was checking craigslist for apts in the city.. and just 3 weeks ago i was putting my room up on craigslist.. it sucks to be on the other end.
im completely rambling on about this. i guess its better to get it out and not keep it in my head. although i still dont feel like i have come to any decision at all. the only thing im sure of is that this kid really really messed me and my life up, and its just not cool that i have to make all these crazy hard decisions because of someone elses decision. It would be one thing if it was ll because of me but...
don't worry. i made a voodoo doll of him. It's all good. He's a jerk for not taking your own life in to consideration, and I hope you let him know that.
And yes, get it all out there.
Why not pick up the phone and call your old school in NY? or the local schools there in FL? just see if anyone needs a teacher. At this point, you can look anywhere and relocate at the drop of a dime. Just do it!

HAHAH!! i actually didnt get to say much while i was there. i was only in arizona for 13 hours. i spent 6 of them on friday waiting for him to get to the hotel. Then i spent 2 at the airport the next day. So really we hardly talked. It was so hard to hold back my tears and my emotions. I really didnt get to say as much as i wanted to.. and when i did say things i wasnt mean. I dont know why. I guess i thought maybe i would feel like the better person. Except i AM the better person. LOL.
Of course i am struggling with emailing him my feelings in a well-written letter. But i imagine thats not the appropriate thing to do.
As for my NYC job. For one.. i hated it there.. my school was hell.. which is why i need something uplifting to begin with. And 2. I resigned from the Board of Ed.. so i cant even transfer to a new school.. i have go about applying all over again. And of course.. the schools with openings arent typically the ones you want to work at. After last year teaching and now this big thing.. i do not want to work and have another realllllly hard year.
man thats rude, but at lease he was able to muster the courage to tell you. my father waited almost 40 years to tell my mother that he didnt love her. 5 years later im still in shock. one of the wierdest things ive ever seen
