I have a mix of thoughts running through my head. I have people going, "yeah it's fine" and others going, "hmm ..." so I'm a bit confused. I mean, I guess it all doesn't matter since it'll go nowhere in the end anyway. Ah well ... back to sucking at life I suppose.

Today working was fun. Megan's hot and so is Gretchen so ... yeah, no problems. :-D

I got Double Jeopardy, Happy Days Season 1, and Mork & Mindy Season 1 on DVD. Quality stuff right there. I've watched Double Jeopardy already and part of the first disc of Happy Days Season 1. Good start, right?

Reflecting back on Megan's last post about drinking life away ... I think if I had alcohol with me right now, I'd probably be doing the same thing. I know it's not healthy but it calms the nerves as long as you don't do it too often. Ah well, chocolate is a nice substitute.

Gretchen's right, teaching will bring new opportunities so I can forget about ... yeah.

I start classes again Monday. I may go to Montgomery Mall as well since I haven't been there in a while. That all depends on if Megan and Dave want to wait for me or not. Of course, they'll probably leave and go at 8 and I'll be at home doing school work instead or something. Bleh.

OK, so I don't know if I gave the official report or not about my professional semester's 2-week experience I just went through. It was a good time. I enjoyed teaching on the one day I got to. I think I should have taught the rest of the chapter on Monday and given a short quiz to check for memory. That would have been a good way to get my last part done. Ah well, I don't think ahead like that, do I? I actually only thought of it about 10 seconds ago so I think I could have thought of it if I really wanted to. I was just so drained from teaching that one day that I had to relax the whole next week. I'll have to get used to this tiring feeling I suppose. Hehe.

I gave each faculty member I associated with a movie pass to the theatre. I figured it was better than shoving their face with more food. They didn't want more food so that is what I came up with. I'll take any way to suck up more :-D

Jeff is convinced I'll still be around a year from now. I may be actually, but I can't hang around there forever. The job is fine but I think it's time to move on. I hate to say it since it'll be 6 years in August but the workers stay the same age and I get older. You know what I mean ...

So it looks like Gretchen is going to be heading to Kutztown in the fall. Part of me is excited because she won't be disappearing but I know she really doesn't want to go there so I'm sad at the same time. Psh, nothing ever seems to be perfectly ... perfect. Well, hopefully she'll like it there more than she thinks and can transfer to wherever she wants as she sees fit. If not ... she can manage the movie theatre and take over for me :-)

My reader flow has decreased significantly. I feel as though I write to less and less of a population. Maybe I should look at it as, "I'm finally down to only my loyal readers." Yeah, that's it! ...

I really can't wait for May. I want to be able to lounge around and do whatever I want. I do have the Praxis test in June (June 11th to be exact) but as long as I pass that, I'm in the clear. If not ... gotta take it a second time. Or third. Or fourth ... I have to pass it or I can't teach. I suppose this is going to stress me out down the line but right now I'm fine.

They make it sound very challenging to get a teaching job. My co-op said that history teaching jobs are slim pickings, which seems contrary to what I have heard in the past. I know math and science are in higher demand but history should always have a demand. I guess I'll just have to hunt and seek and eventually one will arrive for me. I could always teach at Harrison-Morton I suppose. Nice school. I like the kids ... can't be all bad, right? No teachers my age that aren't married though. That's a problem.

Well I'm sure I've wasted enough of your time. After all, it is EASTER NOW! Yay!

Happy Easter everyone.

Do the Loyal Readers get a memebership card or anything?

Are there levels of Loyal reader membership, such as "Silver" after one year, "Gold" after two, "Platinum" after three?

Have you considered awarding ribbons on an annual basis for categories such as "Oldest Loyal Reader," "Scariest Loyal Reader," etc.

Perhaps you could hold a raffle. Five dollars per ticket, the Grand Prize being dinner with Chuck.

logical explanation for the less traffic to blog thing- the more you blog, the less people have to check for an update. for example, say, you blogged. I visit, I read. done for the day. but if you didn't. I will check multiple times until I do, in fact, find that you have finally updated your blog.

the end.
