No dice, pay no attention to that last entry. I called Patty a month ago telling her about the job and then just recently called her and told her to forget what I said. I'm back in Waynesboro and let's pretend like nothing ever happened.
I could tell you all the details of what evil little students I had. How I dropped ten pounds, stopped eating, and had panic attacks at night so that I couldn't sleep, because it was just THAT bad. But I'd rather not think about it. I lasted a month but had basically decided to quit after the second week, and had a myriad of support from other corners. Sanity is expensive so it's best not to lose it in the first place.
I am not sad that I have left Hinesville; I am sad that I am back where I started, in boxes. More boxes now since I started to expand again. I bought a couch and a computer. This should make me feel like a grown-up but instead it makes me feel poor. And honestly the apartment was fabulous. I walked to work; it was quiet, and the school track was right there in the evenings. Which made me realize: pretty apartments do not a happiness make. I've been perfectly jolly living in different hovels so maybe it was too soon to have a bathroom that large.
Anyway, Project Destiny has begun. I've filled out grad school forms, and job applications. Sorry to put my readers once again on hold for side-splitting adventures. But I'm visiting Julie in Florida this week; surely I'll have something to say about that.
