Relief Is Spelled W-O-R-K

lol Like the title? I know it seems wrong but in this case it's true. See, I always teach a summer course on base for USC. It always makes though the number of students varies. It's been a close call the last two years but has gotten enough students last minute. Well, this year has been different. Classes start next week (they run it differently than on main) and up until yesterday I only had three students signed up. Then I had a fourth yesterday. yuck So, I've been a little frantic inside because, well, it would help if I had a job for at least part of the summer. Granted, doing the dissertation, wedding planning, and housework are all jobs in and of themselves but they don't provide funds.

I got an email about the start of classes next week, blah blah. General one. So, I emailed her and asked what the procedure was since I only have four students. She said that there is a soldier pending to take the class and that they put the paperwork through today. Woohoo! I have been moving from shock to relief over the past hour. Normally I think I am supposed to have 10-12 students registered before they will do that. But I am so not going to argue about only having five. Talk about an easy job. The hardest part will be coming up with things to do with them so that we actually use some class time. lol My normal way of doing things is geared towards 15-20 students needing to do their speeches. hmmm Can we say guinea pigs?

Man, this is just awesome. Michael is really going to be relieved. Cause, this was about to suck big time. I mean, who's gonna hire me when I would have to quit in August? And I will not lie about that. Oh, I do have an interview next week with the university's test prep center to teach for them but I have no idea when that would start if they hire me. They may not want me considering how swamped I am in the fall. But we'll see. Ok, time for lunch!
