ok, a new year, and some new blogs to go along with it! so i've been gone for a while....no explanations or excuses for that. i've just been lazy. and now i'm sitting around here with nothing to do except talk to an ex-boyfriend online. isn't semester break fabulous? i built my sister's k'nex roller coaster. i'm dismantling it tomorrow because it's too big for my room. i've already made my new year's resolutions, so i can't sit down and do that. there's a lot of stuff that i could do, but like i said, i'm too lazy to do them. but i think i might paint my room next week. and i'm going shopping tomorrow. and i'll probably go to the city with andre before we go back to school. did some more work on my piddly web page....can't even get the links to work correctly. so now it's pretty much all about sitting around and waiting to go back to school.....how sad.....ok, since this is going no where, i'll depart for now. happy 2002, kiddies, and stay tuned till next time.....
Struggling between commerce and the greater good...
...is emotionally draining. My current job allows me to work with schools in such a way that I'm beginning to realize yet again that I should be a teacher. To have the ability to work with kids and inspire them to work hard and get ready for the real world...that's something that's of real merit. That's something to truly be proud of. Even only reaching one kid a year out of the 30 or more you may teach...that's one kid that you've inspired to read more or write more or become a scientist or a teacher or the next President. I don't care if you think this sounds cliched...it's the truth. Anyway, now I'm in a position where the things that I really want to do can't be accomplished with the job that I currently have. Frustrating, yes. Surprising, no. Long time readers really know how not surprising this is. But things are ok for now. I'm thinking about lots of stuff and keeping busy at work and focusing on things that will help me keep my sanity...
