Changes

I'm facing a change in the near future. I'm going to be giving up one of my jobs: teaching for Athens Technical College.

For the past couple of years, I have taught the College and Career Success class for them at their Monroe campus. The students are great, but with the rising price of gas, I no longer really profit financially - and I need to.

Giving up the class saddens me.

I was from a family that did not go to college. When I went, I didn't know what to expect and - because of that - I think I wasted some opportunities.

My daughter has been much more efficient.

I am hopeful that there will soon be more hours from my library job. I also hope that I can do more writing during the down-time. Although the class was only a couple of hours each week, a lot of prep time went into it.

I'm trying to look on the bright side of it all, but I am sure going to miss the class.
