And all of a sudden...

Ok. Now we can bust out the Cristal and confetti.

I am no longer a pawn of MoMIS!

Yessssssssss!!!!!!! (a la Napoleon Dynamite)

Now I'm juggling a theater assistant teaching gig, a temporary receptionist/admin assistant gig, and a gig at Bath and Body Works.

Once again, life is crazy at 100 miles an hour and I'm loving every minute of it. Because I'm not at MoMIS anymore.

It's kinda funny how two weeks ago my life was practically in shambles (except for one awesome thing that keeps getting better) and all of a sudden everything's falling into place. Ok, so I'm working three jobs and probably making less money than I was before, but I'm fine with that. I'm so happy right now that I don't care. I can't remember the last time I felt so good about myself.

Oh! Did I ever mention that I've decided to go back to school?

I want to get my Master's degree in Theater Education. I'm applying to Emerson (in Boston) and NYU for Fall '06. I'll have my degree in 2 years and then I'll get to be a teacher and I can't wait. I'll probably be in debt for the rest of my natural life, but I'm ok with that.

And you know what the best part is? There's even more things that I'm totally outrageously happy about. But I'm not telling, nyah, nyah, na-nyah nyah!

And so September has flown right by us. The weather's getting chilly, hurricane season is almost over (thank the powers that be because the Katrina victims have gotten more than enough for 5 lifetimes), and Christmas is right around the corner.

You hear that? It's "Jingle Bell Rock." Playing ever so merrily yet tinny from those overhead speakers in Macy's. It's gonna happen sooner than you think.

That's how happy I am. I'm looking forward to the holidays because it just means more joy and happiness for all.

What a bright time, it's the right time, to rock the night away...

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...

With the brokeness...

That's how I'm rollin' right now. With the brokeness. Thank god for ramen noodles and chicken nuggets. Just finished spending my paycheck before I've even gotten it...on bills. ::sigh:: But there are happy things to look forward to! Andre is coming down to visit tomorrow because he's a lucky bastard who gets a 5 day weekend thanks to teachers' convention and Veterans' Day. But I guess I'm really the lucky one because I get to see him for a few days. And yesterday I got a call from another one of my awesome friends in Chicago who wants to come visit in December. Between that and the fact that the weather has turned absolutely gorgeous, I'm starting to see a few of the benefits of living down here in Florida. Except for the fact that I'm broke all the time. But then again, how many of you can say that you went to the beach last weekend? That's what I thought. So there. Ok...have to finish cleaning and then I have to put gas in my car (thank god...

Ha. HA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Omg, that was hilarious. HILARIOUS! Did you read that last post? Jesus TF Christ. So I found those things that I was worried I would definitely find. Found a sad, pathetic dude who lied - LIED - about his job. Lived in a condo under his mama's name that I'm pretty sure was retirement housing. Claimed he was going to school...maybe he was...but failed a pop quiz. Then he used said class as an excuse to get out of coming to Rutgers Christmas, then said he would go, then LIED about why he was two hours late, then was the first one to leave and took his bottle of Ciroc (that I purchased, mind you) with him. Gawd. The good news is that I'm single. I still have the best job ever. Got promoted to manager in five months. Built a kick-ass team. Merger announcement dropped last October. Got serious about grad school, applied to Penn State. Got accepted. Had panic attack. My right-hand man at work is messing up and will probably ge...
