so I guess its due time for me to post that I was not extended an offer to work with Teach for America. I found out December 20th, so yesterday. The announcement letter was e-mailed to me. I didn't really know how to feel the moment I saw the cordially introduced first sentence, followed by a regretably declining second one. Part of me thought I would get in - I'm dedicated, I have experience, I'm interested in education - and part of me thought that I wasn't going to.

Jesse was also not offered a job. And judging from his grades, there were not looking only for scholastically exceptional students.

So I was pretty upset yesterday - or just in a shitty mood.

Sucks.

But in the end, I think I'm better off. I heard mixed reviews of the program ... and it would have been A LOT of work ... in not neccesarily the perfect location.

My next moves: go to my nyctf interview (dec. 28)...and look into other options. perhaps abroad. perhaps in other cities in america... perhaps other education options.

Jesse is considering taking the GMAT, I'm not sure if I will do the same.

Well ok, its late, goodnight

=)
