To be a little more positive

I am currently sitting in the library of my school trying to entertain myself through a long break between classes.  I just turned in my last final and I only have 3 1/2 semesters until I graduate with my master's degree.  For some reason my other teacher wants us to come into class, even though we turned in the final on Monday. (I'm crossing my fingers for a surprise pizza party.  I know it won't happen, but a girl can dream!!)  I'm glad to be done, but I'm afraid of how to fill the time.  I haven't found a full or part time job yet (I'm only working 3 hours on Saturdays) and a lot of my friends want to hang out now.  We'll see what happens.  I have to start up my job search again since finals are over and now I can concentrate.   I'm hoping something will come quick.  On the news, I heard in 3 months that more job openings will start opening up.  It would be nice to be able to pay my bills, move out of my mother's house, take a vacation to an exotic local, and finally not have to scrimp and save.  But I guess that is the life of a sharshura, pinching pennies till there is nothing to pinch.

So far I like my Saturday job.  Its not every Saturday and it doesn't pay much.  That is the bad side.  At the school I'm working at, I'm working with the ESL students on ACT prep.  I finally get to have the best of both words, working with immigrants and with kids!!!  My students are cute.  The coordinator said that they have high comprehension, but I'm little worried.  He said that some of the kids are undocumented and for them to go to college they need a high ACT score to apply for scholarships.  (Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for financial aid in the U.S.)  I don't know how these kids can handle all the uncertainty in their futures.  I don't know if I could handle it with as much grace as they do.

I wonder if the Dream Act will pass today.  I really hope it does. Se Deus quiser.
