i was looking at teaching opportunities in hawaii today. i really would love to teach in the rural areas of hawaii. robert spoke w/one of his instructors about it today too and he was talking about the need for teachers and the poverty the people face there. i am reminded of the "land is life" curriculum, why a land so rich can still be so poor. while i still believe travel is a necessary thing in life, i have as of late began to wonder about the western idea of "entitlement to travel." maybe almost a year ago, i got into a squabble with a really good friend about traveling to hawaii. i'd love to pick up that conversation again w/you angela. i have some new thoughts...

i just got word that i passed all four of my cset single subject exams and i am pretty damn pleased with myself. it's good to know my college education wasn't wasted and that i am deemed "subject competent." i really feel like i'm making progress. i'm going to start volunteering w/the 10th grade ethnic lit class at balboa again. so excited for that...they are reading morrison's "sula." jeremy and aya wrote me letters of rec which i'm really excited about reading.

coachella looks really damn good this year. i hope we go. i can't think of a better way to spend a one year anniversary! it's really gorgeous down there at the indio polo field. mountains all around, palm trees. the best sunsets.

except for maybe hawaii.

i've been listening to all the talk about the same sex marriages and i think it's really ridiculous. i think it's sad that conservatives are trying to pretend that our society upholds marriage as sacred. only about half of marriages are "sacred" anyway, since most end in divorce. i mean, why not have same sex partners participate in the divorce economy as well? i'm not a cynic about marriage. i believe in its sanctity, just not its exclusiveness. i know there are same sex couples out there who work a lot harder at staying together than a lot of heterosexual couples i know. i'm rather old fashioned actually. i believe in love--for anyone. if two people, can be committed to each other, and really want to be in union with another, then why should the state have anything to do with it? the state says that what is going on in sf is a joke. the joke is on them, actually. gay people are never going to stop being gay! duh. gay people are never going to stop being people, and will never stop having civil rights. marriage is the joke. why not outlaw divorce too, since we are keeping safe the sanctity of marriage, mr.bush? i think marriage should have little to do with the state...and more to do with the churches or the will of two people to come together where their loved ones bear witness to their union...anyhow...a rambling i will go...
