funk, funk, and more funk

I feel like a failure this semester with my masters students.  Did I not teach them or are they thick-headed?  Students from our program are okay... some are better than others.  But the other students aren't getting it.  Frustrating.  Really frustrating.  

I rec'd an email that I've made it past the preliminary rounds for a position in MN.  Great job, but MN?  Really?  Um, cold, very cold.  At this point though, I'm ready for a change.  Hubby is up for the move.  We'll just be poor, cold, and well, poor and cold.  Nothing brings a family together like being poor and cold, right?

There's a job here with Big University that I applied for a month or so ago.  It's fairly low level - not tenured.  It's sort of an instructor position. I'm completely over-qualified, but I think I would actually like it (at least for a while).  I had a friend of a friend inquire and apparently they have a TON of applications.  I've emailed the head person and never got a response.  I know they have my app b/c I got the postcard.  I at least want my cv to be seen!  rrrggghhh.

I finished writing a grant this weekend. I should be working on my dissertation, but I guess a grant would be nice to add to my cv (even if it is itty-bitty).
