yep, still awake
well, since i am obviously not going to sleep this morning i might as well tell all the weird things going on in life as of late.
let's see... christie is getting married in january instead of the summer. she actually called my mom wanting my number because she needed help with her wedding. when my mom told me that i about fell over. we both couldn't believe it. curiosity getting the best of me, i returned the call (only to stay in good graces with her mother who will be very beneficial in an education career in the upcoming years.)anyhow, she wanted me to get her on base so she could meet with the people doing her reception at, where else, the same place i had mine! i couldn't believe it. the only difference is she's using the officers' club at NAS and I used the one at Mayport. I wish i could get on base again so i could see if that one is as nice as the place i had mine. curiosity is a terrible thing.
in random ramblings last night todd mentioned something about wanting to go to england and norway (how random). i said i wouldn't mind hitting ireland, england, and scotland in one go. he replies, "ireland? no way. you'll get your head shot off over there." ok, i ask you, what in the heck is going on over there that would warrant that response? as if england's problems were any different? stupid.
tomorrows interview is with a school. not just any school... an inner-city/urban school. oddly enough, i'm excited. i know i have the job given the fact that i'm young, female, white, and willing to work with the scourge of the educational system... oh, and the fact that they told me that but i have to interview so it can be on record. i have no idea what i'm thinking. todd and his mother are completely against it, but of course that means squat to me. we were discussing that over dinner tonight. mr. shaw seemed to encourage it; we both agreed that you have to start somewhere. title 1 means more money and they will pay for my masters (starting in january btw at UF--hooray). i'm sure the school isn't that bad. bad area, yes. i keep telling myself that the kids can't help where they live. at least i'm prepared for what is coming and i'm not blindly going in thinking i can change the world. oh yeah, back to the point... todd was making a comment about how he is going to quit work once i start teaching so he can do school full time and i reminded him that he's been giving me nothing but flack about this job. then he says, "it doesn't matter what i think. you're going to do what you want anyway." i replied, "you're right. i never listen to you." i am horrible! i'm surprised he puts up with my crazy antics. i'm not that bad, i'm just extremely independent. always have been. it's how i've been raised. he just hasn't come to turns with that yet.
i just went to turn off the living room light (since i'm in the study). i hate walked across the room with the light on. the creepy neighbor was leaving for work and i bet he could see me in my underwear. creeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy.
