ok, so i think i'm getting this house. i hope so. everything seems to be going favorably. i know moving is a bitch but i'm actually looking foward to it. i'm going to de-clutter my life. no seriously. i'm minimizing everything. my clothes, my junk, my dishes and pots and pans. i'm going to have like 4 plates, 4 bowls and 4 cups... why do i need more than that? there's just me. if i have some kind of dinner thing people can just bring paper plates. this house doesn't really have a closet. i'm going to try to find some old wardrobe type thing. i must go thrifting soon. speaking of furniture thrifting the DAV on berry blvd. has loads of cool furniture. also i heard that a little vintage has lots of cool furniture too. but if you go and see an old wardrobe i've got dibs so back off! =) ok so maybe i'm putting the cart before the horse. i haven't actually signed the lease yet, but... it's going to happen. i hope. why am i so anxious about this? where i'm living now is the longest i've lived anywhere since i lived with my parents. you can collect a lot of junk in 5 years. rattle rattle blah blah i'm just running on and on at the mouth.
so i'm starting to get into this teaching stuff again. i'm getting lots of ideas. the only thing is i don't know what grade level or type of class i'm going to get. funnily enough i'd like to have an EBD class. nobody wants that but i do. i've got lots of idealistic theories about how to make learning fun for them... like letting them write songs and we can put them to music. wouldn't that be fun? also my cousin just had an article in the newspaper. i haven't seen him for years but he's an artist and now he's teaching kids... in his article he says something like "give me the rebellious kids, those are the ones art can really help." which made me start thinking about how he can come up and do special art segmants for my classes. here's the article for those who are intersted. we kind of look alike too. we used to look like twins.

ok well enough rattling. i'm going to be late for class.
