Change/Unknown
Looking for a new job is always a bitter/sweet ordeal for me. I always enjoy certain amounts of change. Those that have been around me for a certain amount of time know that I change the status of my facial hair on a regular basis. I've currently done two stints with a full beard over the last couple of months along with different variations of a goatee. When possible and practical, I like to periodically change the furniture around just to have a little different perspective. In many ways, I think change is good. What I don't enjoy as much is changing jobs and changing houses. That's what I'm facing right now. A lot of it, at this point, is the unknown. I'm not one for surprises. I like to know things ahead of time. I have been known, in the distant past, to find my Christmas presents before hand instead of being able to wait until Christmas day. That's just a part of my personality that I struggle with. Right now, I've applied for a head coaching position in Caldwell, TX. I think it would be an ideal situation but there are a lot of unknowns and variables that I'm considering and the simple fact that I have no idea whatsoever that I have a chance of being hired. Then comes the chore of finding an ideal place to live. I'm getting anxious for Spring Break so that I can maybe get a little closer to knowing how things are going to "pan out." I look forward to getting out of Newark High School. I'm tired of having over 200 students and very few resources. I'm tired of teaching 6 classes on top of my coaching duties. I'm tired of being in a place where I feel restricted in being able to do the things I'm capable of because of a system that is so broken. So, change will be good but it sure can be pretty scary for me, too.
