It’s a bit of a drive, but it’s in the same metro area as the school at which I currently teach. I applied to teach earlier in the day on Mondays and Wednesdays, my same usual fall/winter teaching days at my current school, so I could make two trips to that metro area every week, and get two full days of teaching out of it.
If I could teach at both schools and get that hospital job I would be sitting pretty, especially with the benefits offered by the hospital job. But even just financially, I could pay off some bills, thus boosting my credit rating, making it so I could actually get an apartment at a nice complex in a nice neighborhood, for a change. Would be awfully sweet. Just need some things to go right to make it happen.
