Puzzles..

I officially didn't get into the class I was trying to get into. I need 3 prerequisite classes before I can start applying for nursing programs. The good news is that I will try and take this class in the summer. The funny thing is that I have a reunion to go to this summer and we already booked our flights. At the time, I was potentially thinking about teaching summer school again this year so we made our vacation plans to coincide with that. Well, the summer school class I want to take starts the exact same day as our summer school that I decided not to be teaching. How's that for timing?

Also, a few days ago I got approached to teach a Chem class that would start evenings in March. Initially I would not have been able to take the position, but since I didn't get into the class, I would be able to. Not only that, but taking on a chem class (since I currently teach earth and bio), would make me more versatile for a placement next year if a transfer comes up or if they decide to cut my current position. What's that about the doors closing and others opening?

I'm hoping there is a reason that things worked out the way they did and maybe I'll be pregnant by summer....gosh I hope.

I'm beginning to think that "life is what you make it" doesn't mean what I initially thought it did. I can try and make it the way I want, but in the end, I am waiting. I have an idea how maybe the puzzle pieces will fit, but we'll see.

Maybe I will be able to get what I want, but not the timing I want.

Okay, enough philosophical randomness I've bored you with.

And it's not like we have a puzzle box top to look at either!

this reminds me of that saying, you have to let go of the life you planned so you can live the life that's waiting for you.

it's like we're set up in childhood to think that you can plan what you want to be, do...and then it just happens. what is that? is that part of the american dream bullshit? it just seems like we're set up to expect to know what's going to happen, and never to just let things unfold. maybe that's the east/west thing.

I agree with Charmer, it's part of where my blog name came from, the not what I had planned thing. Now I have to live with what I have, planning hasn't done much for me, ever.
