Its after ten at night and I have to be up at six tomorrow. I should be in bed, but instead I'm taking stupid quizzes online. Finished my work hours ago... still have more I ought to be doing but I just can't bring myself to care. One more year. I love it here, I hate it here. I love riding my bike up to class on beautiful days (about a third of the time). I hate walking in the rain. I love the discussions, the random talks before class and the occasional heated debate in class. I hate the close-minded habitual conservativeness of small town, bible belt, Nac. I love what I'm doing and hate the busy work, I hate the stupidity of the administration and love the people under it.
I was looking at pay. Teachers are always complaining about pay (hell, most of them put in 50+ hour work weeks, so its at least partly justified), but right now it looks like paradise. Once I pick up all the crap my parents are still paying - cell phone bill, car insurance, etc - it still dosn't look that bad. I really want to be on my own. I'm sick of being dependant on my parents, I want to have my own life, want to stop going to school. Ironic, but I want to be the teacher, not the student. I dunno... frustration is setting in.
