Teaching
I have now 14 days left of teaching. It feels like God himself is smiling down on me.
Oh man, 14 days. 14 glorious, glorious days.
My sister graduates next weekend from CU Boulder. Zak graduates from CU Denver as well. Two nights of crazy partying in a row. Man, oh man, it hasn't been since Oregon since I rocked so hard. Speaking of which, I still need to get paid for that whole deal. Hmmm....
I'm pretty checked out from this whole ordeal, I must admit. Here I am, writing on this while I'm supposed to be prepping for teaching. I love my kids, they are so awesome but my energy level is just at rock bottom.
Today Devan started driving out toward Denver. She'll be arriving in Denver on Saturday and then will be hanging out with my sister until I arrive a week from today. I have a feeling that things are going to be incredible when she arrives. I'm really excited.
I hope everyone saw Colbert roast the hell outta D.C. and Bush last weekend. It was FAN-tastic.
Here is a quote to keep a mind working:
"It is very clear. We want honesty and openness back in our government. We want real security and a real strong defense based on telling the truth to our soldiers and our citizens.
We want American jobs that will stay in America. We want a health care system that includes everybody, like 36 other countries have. We want a public education system that allows optimism and opportunity back in America again, and we want real retirement security.
I think that's a great agenda for the Democratic Party. We're all united from the Senate to the House, to the governors to the mayors in that agenda, and a million people are going to have that agenda in their hand by the end of this weekend."

Last weekend, we helped out here in New Mexico. I started a group out here called Democracy for Gallup-McKinley County. It has been nice to get back involved. Watching the implosion of the right-wing in this country has been very cathartic as well.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day.
