Things have not been going here in Madison as of late. I hate to say this. The last several months have been filled with me writing journals which extoil my latest sense of woe. Needless to say, there has been little reason for people to check out this journal if they want to feel good! This is all the sadder when you realzie that I'm actually a fairly happy person, by nature; the type who always looks on the bright side of things. Unfortunately this entry does not constitute a massive change of form for me.
"So", your no doubt thinking,(if you were actually reading this, that is) "what could possible have gone wrong for Dan". The answer is a sad one. About a month ago I applied for a job working with Americorp in Madison. I got the job, moved down to Madison, and have been busy tryign ot set up a life down here. As a result of getting the job, I was forced to make several sacrifices; most notably my chances to get into Grand School this year, as well as my chance to get a teaching job for next year.
I had the job for four days. I arrived to work this Monday to be told that they (Americorp) didn't really need me after all. After some digging, it would seem that they simply just didn't like me after all. This was all sprung on me with no advanced warning. I had been asked to meet the three coordinators at Michelagelo's Coffee Shop down on State Street on Monday. I had figured that they were going to take me to my placement or set me up as a shadow so I could better learn my position. Instead, they dropped that bombshell on me.
And so, I am now in Madison without the job I had first moved down here for, and in a bit of trouble. Oddly enough, I am not worried about all of this. In fact I'm trying to look on the bright side of this dark cloud. I've had a lot of time to think and read as of late, and have fallen in love with the works of Joseph Campbell. Also, when I was released, the coordiantor's did not follow proper procedure. I am hoping to to get a transfer to another program within Madison if possible.
