audubon

i got a message from the principal at audubon elementary yesterday letting me know the position is still open and he hasn't forgotten about me.

right on cue...

these past few days have been marked by a crescendo of panic as it sinks in that the summer is plugging away and i still don't have a teaching job. and the thought that if only i'd had one for last year i could be sitting on the beach right now makes me throw up a little in my mouth.

i look forward to an interview at audubon. it's in roscoe village, which is a great neighborhood. i'll be coming to this interview as prepared as i can possibly be.

i'm running on the lakeshore again. after work with will. the only time of day that i can appreciate the city's unrelenting wind. will's like my personal trainer. he makes me run faster and longer than i would alone. i'm really excited about keeping it up.

lunchtime. peace.
