Unfortunately more than half of the work of the course still needs to be completed, especially when I consider the mountain of papers that will still cross my desk before it's over.
But we're halfway.
The other thing that's halfway is my job letters. Yes, I'm almost halfway through my application list. Of course, if additional postings come up over the next few weeks, that list might grow (that would be good!), but right now I'm halfway through.
But, boy, oh boy! do those application packages take a loooong time to assemble! When every posting wants something slightly different, and each letter needs to be tailor-crafted to the school, there's a lot of time that goes into these things.
The worst part isn't the time though... it's that niggling voice in the back of your head that tells you all these hours of work will come to nothing because no one will call for an interview and you'll be scratching around for work next year.
Man! I hate that voice.
I tell it to shut up all the time, but it just. doesn't. listen.
Today it's practically shouting. I'm thinking sleep might help, but wonder if it might just invade my dreams instead.
Here's hoping it doesn't!

I dreamed that while I was lecturing my cousin about being responsible and not making the mistakes I made (and I was yelling a bit) a tornado suddenly struck and nearly sucked me up into it before I could even think about running. Before I woke up, a saw a man holding on so tight that his lower body was ripped off. Sweet freakin dreams.
