the one where i went to school for six years and didn’t get a job…
Well, folks… it’s been one busy, busy and stressful summer. we’re now in august and all my friends (teachers, students, siblings, etc) are headed back to school. im just headed back to my couch (where i continue my search for a career).
long story short, remember that “job” i told you about in my last post? well, turns out that the BOE tried to pull a fast one and offer me a full-time job for 20k/yr. I don’t think so. two degrees and earning 20k? no. so, i made one of the hardest decisions of my adult career and decided NOT to take the job at ec. remember, this was my “dream” job for the time being…so this was no easy decision to make. i cried for many hours, but at long last i realized that there is a place much bigger and better for me.
…right?
i mean, im still sitting here unemployed.
oh well. time will tell…
When you wake up in the morning…

the one where joey tells rachel.
how many times do i have to create a post beginning with the question “why don’t i ever keep up with these things?”? ugh.
i was perusing good ole facebook this afternoon and noticed that a friend of mine had made her triumphant return to blogging…and that reminded me that i have this beautiful little tumblr blog that i cant seem to keep up with. so, id like to say thanks to heather jenkins…for reminding me that the world LOVES to read my ramblings, therefore, as i always aim to please, will…AGAIN…try to keep up with my little life journal here.
currently watching: FRIENDS. season 8. every summer i make an effort…no, i make SURE to…watch the entire Friends series, seasons 1-10. it’s kind of a guilty pleasure, but not really, bc i feel no guilt in watching every episode more than once…twice…thirty times…the show makes me happy when i am sad, and makes me laugh when no one else can. what could be better? joey just told rachel that he’s in love with her…and shes pregnant with ross’s baby. and chandler and mon are discussing why not one cd is in it’s right case. ohhh monica and your organizational skills. ive always wished i had 5 friends who i was this close with. i mean, ive got 5 friends (thats about it…ha)…but i dont have 5 who are all friends with each other. i guess the closest thing i’ve got is the staff at EC. which is slowly diminishing…and drifting, mainly because i don’t care to listen to people lament about how miserable their lives are.
oh, btw…since we last talked…i got a job. it is one of those dreams i had mentioned in my last post…yep. ill be working FULL TIME (BIG GIRL ALERT) as the Student Success Coordinator. although, I have yet to sign a contract…so perhaps i shouldnt have told you about any of that. oh well. im pumped…but at the same time, im a little sad…because some of my very favorite students, the ones with the MOST promise, won’t be returning in the fall…and that breaks my heart. but…the show must go on.
see…when I get into it, i sure can WRITE! gosh…i hope i can keep this up.
until next time…
ross: if i were a salmon shirt, where would i be? UPSTREAM
What is my DEAL?
Why don’t I ever keep UP with these damn things? Good god. Remember the days of XANGA? Man…I had one. I think I had two. Those were the very first days of my social networking CAREER. Technology has come a long way since then…
Anyway. What’s new with me? Well…Master’s graduation is a month away. Holy shiz. I never thought I’d be where I am today. I’m excited for the future…but scared as hell, because I have absolutely NO CLUE where the fuck I will be come August. My heart is in Milledgeville. I have a life here. I’ve made a family here. I will do anything in my power not to leave here. Unfortunately, the power isn’t really all mine now, is it? The power is in the hands of someone…The One, i suppose…greater than me. I don’t want to move back home. I mean, i do…I want my mom’s cooking and my family right at my fingertips. I miss them. But, moving back home will create a lot of stress for everyone. Plus, I have a lot of shit. And I don’t want it all in my bedroom at home.
Where am I going to work??? What the HELL am I going to be doing?? Ideally I’ll be teaching. SUPER ideally, I’ll be teaching at Early College. DREAM ideally, I’ll be living in Florida working for the House of Mouse. But I don’t anticipate that happening for a few years. I dont have any leads anywhere…and it’s now April. Mother. Current Mood: frustrated. Ha..XANGA used to have that. Lolz.
Anywho. I don’t even think anyone reads this. What a waste. Maybe I should start posting MORE private stuff on here then, since no one even really cares about it.
I’m gonna keep up with this. It’s fun. And a nice way to end my evening. Tomorrow is the first day back after spring break. I’m excited to see my pets…everyone else can go scratch.
Until tomorrow.

Dear Christina
Dear Christina,
What a sad, sad thing that you can’t be here to see it, but you did something with your life that no politician in yours ever did or could: you unified the United States of America. Today you’re making people think more than speak. And maybe when they’re done thinking, they’ll speak differently. And then maybe after they speak differently others will want to think differently, and maybe that’s how the world comes to change for the better.
Peacefully…
John
why hello there.
hey tumblr. man, i’ve missed you. i’m sorry i havent been keeping up. perhaps my pre-new year’s resolution will be to keep up with my tumblr doings.
since we last met, i’ve done a lot of things. but most notably (admirably, dedicatedly, etc), ive been on a cruise with the backstreet boys. yeah, you read it correctly. backstreet’s back……..alright. they never really went anywhere, like nsync did. nsync actually like, broke up…bsb has been putting out albums pretty regularly…and they all kick ass, like every album before.
during our first night at dinner, we had a few surprises…aka nicky and AJ dancing on tables. it was sexy as hell, and thanks to kari, i was right at AJs crotch for the entire performance. pics are beautiful. we were lucky enough to eat dinner in the same dining room as the boys every night - and they just walked by our table like it was no big deal. and we’d be like, “hey! what’s up!” or, “come eat with us!”…it made for some excellent entertainment and pee-in-your-pants moments. we had a wonderful time. despite all of the criticism and ridicule about “going on a backstreet boys cruise”, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and don’t let what other people say get in the way of my enjoyment. when you love something so much and are able to experience it on an extreme level, i think that’s pretty kick ass. so, yeah. my life rocks. i’m so lucky to have been given this opportunity. i cant wait for the next one!
what else is new? well…christmas break 2010 has commenced. im very excited. in celebration, i spent most of my morning and evening laying in bed. i did some shopping in between, came home for dinner, did some cleaning, and now im back on the couch. life is good. i’ll leave you at that - but I will return for details re: #bsbcruise2010 :)
