Is there even such a thing as a quarter life crisis? Better yet, seeing as how I just turned 24, is there such thing as a pre-quarter life crisis? If there is, I think I am going through one. For the past 5 years my life has been pretty planned out. I knew for the most part where I was going to be living, Chico, and what I was going to be doing, going to school. Not only am I completely stressed out with finishing school and going through all the hoops I have to jump through to become a teacher, but I find myself on the verge of entering the real world and I am terrified. What if I can't find a job? What if I get a job and the kids are so out of control I lose my mind? What if I ruin them for life? It can happen, I saw a Dr. Phil about some kid who went on a killing spree because he didn't like his teacher from 4th grade. I like to think I'm a likeable person but you never know what a kids going to do these days.And then there is Ryan. He is working so hard to find a job and I know he is feeling like he is failing because he hasn't found one yet. It's this damn economy. He is competing with people with like 10 years experience! It's plain nuts.
So to try and get organized I started looking for a place to live in the Sac area last night. It is somewhat difficult because we have Marley, so we need to rent a house with a yard. Not so easy to find a cheap, decent place that allows dogs. Then I was looking at the applications and they said you need to prove that you make at least 3 times the rent per month. Yikes. Double yikes considering we are both unemployed. We're screwed. Hey, there's always moving back in with mom and dad! On a lighter note, I found out a school district in Roseville is hiring a special ed teacher and they are going to be at the job fair next month. This would be perfect! I would absolutely love to work in Roseville.
