The beginning of the.....beginning?

So here I am writing my very first blog. I'm going to pretend like someone else will actually read this and hopefully not get bored too quickly. I'm also going to assume you are a stranger.

I've recently moved halfway across the country, almost a day away from my family and friends. Not only that, but I decided to change careers. Something else you should know about me—I romanticize jobs. I mean, I picture myself in a career like it's a movie or something. I can see myself doing so many things that it's hard to concentrate on one job. Does that sound fun? I am trying to enjoy that part of myself, but it does get a little frustrating. 

Anyway, I've been here for almost 7 months. I don't have a job. Well, not really. I don't consider substitute teaching as a real job. I guess it kind of is though. 

Backup: I did have a job until December when I resigned from my position as an elementary school teacher. The picture I had in my head about being a role model and a fun teacher who was patient and funny...well that picture didn't quite materialize. 

Now I'm substitute teaching. Well I have for one day (I'll tell you about it next). I have no idea if I want to try another teaching job or move on to something completely different. Maybe I should stop picturing myself in jobs....because I can only see the ones I know a little about. And the ones I do know a little about...well, I can't REALLY picture myself there because I don't REALLY know what I will be doing. 

I'm almost 30. I did what I thought I was supposed to do. I mean, I did my work in school. I went to college. Got the degree. Found the job. Moved out on my own. Went through the major heartbreak. Found someone to fix it. All of that. So why don't I know what I'm doing with my life now? I guess that's what this blog will be about—finding out what I like and what I might like to do.
