I'm not too sure of what I'm doing. I take my orals on Wednesday at 11am. I'm not too scared. Not sure if I should be. I feel very prepared. I also have a term paper due by the end of this fall semester, which isn't done at all. But I suppose I could squeak by, especially since I've got nothing but time.
I'm also getting the email distribution list from the American Association of Teachers of German. There is a position open at Tufts University for a Lecturer. It's a full-time job starting September 2008, offering three university courses each semester. That would be so cool, but I have nothing except my SFSU TA experience to show them as university teaching experience. I have taught elsewhere, but... it might be a longshot. It might also be a miracle to have a job that would only propel me towards a PhD and/or university job I can love. Tufts is in the Boston area, which is a long way away from California. It's also an incredibly well-established university on the East Coast. That would be huge. And I can't exactly be picky if the job is right up my alley.
I've got until February to send in my resume and application. We'll see.
Sometimes I feel like I'm living someone else's life. I might as well be filmed by a crew and made into a movie. I wonder what the title of my movie would be...
