I am thismuchcloser to being a "teacher." I am teaching summer school--my own class, finally. I just got all my grades and they are better than I expected. I just need to take a US Constitution class and I will get my preliminary credential. Then, I will look for a job in summer. I wish I got an ELD credential. I will look into it. It might be a good fit since I am so interested in linguistics. Oh my god. I just realized how boring my blog has become.

Gone are the days of philosophizing about the revolution, love, and where I'll end up. I am in a happy (but very exciting) relationship, I am building a career versus an "in-the-mean-time" job, and I am feeling more solidly planted in who I am and can become. I miss dreaming...but I'll save nostalgia for later...this summer, I am going to be running pretty much the same 7am-7pm schedule, but hope to reward myself handsomely with a trip at the end--unless I become ultimately boring adult sensible and put in the bank. My folks have become sucked into the casino institution in Reno...so at least I can get away any weekend, albeit to Reno...but hey, free stuff? Cool. I think I want to go to Europe...I had weird Danny moments recently. My music box played the other night. And then the next day, this student that was doing her dress rehearsal for her senior project was playing the Hawaiian version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Then I went to go visit my friend and an old red, Civic hatchback DX was parked right infront, which I never see at her place...and then finally, today when I was in the grocery store, I was looking for toys for my neices because they are coming to my boyfriend's grad party tomorrow...and "Daniel" by Elton John was playing...I don't know if I am just manic, and miss my brother so much that everything reminds me of him, or if these are his little ways of hitting me over the head and checking in...the music box hasn't played since the day after his funeral. And before then, it never did that, ever...strange. Today was the "Farewell Rally" at the high school I'm student teaching at...woah, brought back some memories. The teachers danced to Napoleon Dynamite and dressed up and everything. It was great. Okay, back to grading...

bout to give this girl a shout
