1) that is exciting! do eet! would you want to do it locally or move?
Lesley has a really good program for education, i am hearing from everyone and their grandmother's dog's pet ferret, and it is affordable compared to other schools, so that would be great. i think Emmanuel too is a good call.
i wanna go back to school too, but it would be far from here and no idea when or if that is going to happen.

2, 3, & 4) YES YES YES i love this outlook, i love this effect, i love you.
hurray for pictures since i missed it.
Portland Maine is where the tattoo artist of my dreams is, whoa. when is this show?

5) yeah everyone is, sorry :( i am sure you will find something with nannying though. parents in a pinch not working?

6) i am excited for our travels!

7) oh man i relate. we just got to got got to keep afloat. i'm trying to pretend i am happy and making that manifest. a bandaid but better than wallowing.

1) i'll probably stay locally cause i obviously don't know how to leave this place. i HAVE been looking into lesley.. also simmons. do you know of any other places? maybe places that pay your tuition if you contract to work in public schools for multiple years?

2,3,4) yes yes yes yes yes yessssss!!! who is the tattoo artist of your dreams? i really like phuc tran from portland. he was supposed to do my back but he was WAYY too booked. the show is 4/19

5) parents in a pinch can eat my dick. they've given me nothing

6) i am also excited for our travels! i'm glad you get to go away for a bit!

7) yes i'm also trying to pretend that i am happy. and sometimes it works. but i'll find myself fall to the floor randomly with a moment of panic/depression.

i love you!!!!

1) well i don't even have an undergrad degree, so thats pretty much all i know. there definitely are programs that pay you but a little bit, but thats better than you paying them. sorry, you'll have to research that one. luckily there are a lot of resources. keep us updated!

i want to go back to school for elementary education too. i am a preschool teacher at the moment, but i want to have the option of going up a grade or two as well. it is really rewarding.

Without going through an agency, you could try sittercity.com or care.com ... I found my jobs on there... Good luck!! :)
What age are you thinking of teaching?? Young elementary like 2nd grade-ish or older like 6th grade-ish?

well i'm going through an agency.. and my name is ALLLLL over sittercity.com.... but nobody is writing back. cause they all don't know what's best for them!!

and yes, 2nd grade is the grade i want. once 3rd grade hits and you get into mcas... it makes me want to throw up a little.
