Thanks, Jono. I like having a sense of purpose. Ideally, I'd love my former teaching position back. I taught about 4 days a week for about 4 hours a day and only had 1-4 kids per class (it's an alternative high school and I really liked the students). I was an independent contractor, so I was able to do some writing from home, too. I've been talking to the head of the school, and it seems that they'll need me come September. Fingers crossed.

Thanks =).
