damn, it's already march 5th?
academy awards
tonight was my super bowl, my mom and i were out shopping, but we "had" to be back by 5 to watch the academy awards. i filled out some damn "predict the winners" on cnn.com about a month ago, the winner got some big prize, like a plasma tv, i got every one right...every ONE...except best picture! who would have thought that "crash" would have pulled the upset?!? of course, it's a wonderful movie that is deserving of the title, so i cannot complain.
i was happy to see a movie like "brokeback" there in the crowd. it took home three oscars that i know of. i'm proud. "i'm proud" is an odd thing to say. it's not like i worked on the film, but as a gay man, i was excited to see such a marvelous piece of work containing a love story that isn't the norm be up in the top 5.

i've spent most of my days and nights working. i don't really know why? i was behind in grading because cara and i were waiting for our new grading software to come in the mail, but i guess paperwork-wise i've been swamped. i think i had three regular scheduled IEPs last week, plus two added pre-expulsions. i have quite a few more this week too, but it should be slowing down soon. i hope.
i've been waiting for that sense of normalcy to come back to me. but it really hasn't. i've been super emotional and super sensitive to a lot of things. they are all not necessarily negative things...i think i'm just really...aware...lately.
also! i was waiting to break for kristy to break the news first, i see she did so now i can share! she got a job at fremont-rideout, so NO MORE SEARS. i'm very excited for her. the day we found out, my parents put a bid on a two-bedroom apartment in marysville to purchase. so we got it! it's a little, cute place that we will be able to decorate and paint and make super cute. escrow closes on the 21st so by that date we will have the keys to our new place. i'm excited. cheap rent too. : ) thank god. it's funny, there's no way that they would have bought me a one bedroom place to pay them mortgage on, but as soon as they found out about her job, my mom got so hyper she couldn't figure out the remote control. it was cute.
we've officially become will and grace.
so for the time being, my big move is on hold. i keep telling myself that i had to go somewhere...i really need to wait until i'm a little bit older with more job experience (and a credential!). i'm young. i need to quit telling myself that 25 is the end of the world and i have to jump to a new place which gives me no guarantee that i will be happy.
i think i'm rambling. good night for now.
