zerfliessende Zeit

There are only 3 months remaining in my English teaching assistanceship! My time here has melted away as quickly as I assumed it would, but it's still something of a shock.
I have been fretting for a while about what's going to happen, where I'll land, what I'll do. Fretting is not a necessary aspect of planning for the future, but because I have devoted a lot of time and energy to thinking about what I do and do not want, I have come to certain conclusions that will help me in my approaching frenzied search for a teaching position. First and foremost, I have determined that it is of utmost importance to me to have a full-time, well-paid position. I considered applying for a second year, but I am almost 100% certain that I don't want to do a second year of assistant teaching. I am over-qualified and I want to earn more money. Secondly, I want to stay in Germany. I would really like to stay in Hamburg, but I am OK with moving to a different part of the country if it happens I cannot find a teaching position here. I really like the people in the North, I like my lifestyle even more; but, I can easily adjust to life in a different part of the country, especially if I land in the south, where I've already spent a year before. I have dear friends still living in southern Germany and the weather is nicer down there. What's more, I want to continue improving my German and learning other foreign languages, and it is significantly easier to pursue that goal here than it is in the States. Also, when I go to grad school, I know the perfect program/University for me, which is in Germersheim (though I will NEVER live there again). *I rode past Germersheim on the train while I was in Karlsruhe visiting friends and my stomach kind of dropped. Just the thought of visiting gave me hives, which I know doesn't bode well for studying there in the future. However, if I live somewhere else, I think it'll be totally manageable.*
I want to herewith shed the worry from my job hunt. It is pointless and I will be more successful and happier overall if I leave it out of the equation. Having said that, I'd like to create a fruitful job search: I want a full-time position that is well-paid and in a city that will continue to foster a healthy, happy lifestyle. And if I work hard, keep a positive attitude and stay persistent, I know I will find exactly what I want. I'll find exactly what I need.
