well i knew it was coming
Nov. 30th, 2007 02:19 pmI kept saying that at the end of three years my contract is up and i can NOT be rehired on this same track. The head of the department didn't think so...got the letter today. I'm done. I knew it. I can NOT be rehired on a non-tenure track.
However, if the college wants to hire me on a tenure-track I can be brought back. BUT that means they have to legally readvertise my job and I have to reapply. naturally, I'm a known entity and they like me so chances are I will be hired unless someone dazzling sweeps into town. I've only been teachin a total of 4 years so i'm still a cheap date salary wise.
The dean said today that they need my position so it's unlikely that it won't be reoffered in January. However, I do see a catch in this. what if they don't want to offer a tenure track position? Then I'm out-out. sigh.

Writing stuff and weird dreams
Nov. 30th, 2007 05:26 pmFirst, while I don't remember all the dream I do remember the part where I cut out my own spleen because I thought something was wrong with it. Oddly, this didn't hurt a bit (not to mention I cut into the side with my liver, right over the area that's hurting me right now so I figure this has something to do with this dream) My spleen looked like a Rambutan and when I started cutting it apart there were all these tumors in it.
You know brain, some days I really have to wonder about you. This wasn't a scary dream other than I was mad that I couldn't make the pathologist look at those tumors and tell me what they were.
and the writing stuff well here it is
But oddly i don't feel good about it this year. I mean yes I did write all those words and it's not that they're bad words but my decision to try to write the ending of the three other novels wasn't a good one. It felt fractured and really there wasn't more than 15,000 going to any one novel so not much got done.
And because the website was so slow to load, I didn't hang out in the forums as much as I have in the past so I did feel isolated. Not to mention that seriously some of the people posting in the fantasy parts of the forum were just...let's say they reminded me of students.
oh well. Still, nearly 58,000 words in a month, that's something and I am happy with that.
