Tonight is a night for three beers.
Today was my last day at my job. Not because I was let go, but because I have finally hit the turning part in my career. I begin student teaching on Monday so that I'll be done with my teaching credential when school gets out in June, and so I can apply for a full-time teaching job in the Fall. This means that I will be in the classroom all day, everyday from February through June, without getting paid.
So today I left a decent paying job, one with security and benefits, where I have worked since high school for 13 years. I am married and have a five-year-old son, and somehow I have to make the next four months work. Yet, there is not much else I can do to finish my teaching credential, so that I can finally get to doing what I really want to do - teach music.
So here's the plan for tonight: three beers, one each for each of the milestones that are coming together here. One for the past - the familiar and secure, one for the present - the trying times and hardship, and one for the future - the goals and dreams I've worked hard for.
I'm going to dig through what I have been saving and storing for quite some time and I'll share each one as I pull t from the fridge.
