Perspective shift

When things are looking bad from one point of view, take steps to move to another.

My plans for the time following my trip to Bali with Marina are in disarray. That is, I have no set plans yet. I have no job prospects, my applications seem to fall on deaf ears. I have a vague idea of where I want to live, and a pretty clear idea of what I'd like to do, but until I find someone willing to hire me, I am out of luck.

Short term, things are looking brighter than ever. My workload at school is minimal at the moment, due to relaxed expectations in the time leading up to Grad Show. It's stressful in a way, but it's also easier. Skimming stuff is both accepted and expected, and spending a few extra minutes at playtime is okay. Even better: I've been told that starting in August I'll be down to three kids, and that I'm expected to blaze through the remaining curriculum quickly in order to spend more time with them at the park, going to movies, or just generally chillin'.

Sounds like fun.
