Been tired lately...I can't believe that as of next tuesday I will have completed 9 graduate credits. My masters will be over before I know it. A bunch of us are going to go out for a drink after class on Tuesday. It should be fun. I really have made some nice friends at LIU. More then I ever made at Purchase in one semester...Wow!!
Friday I went over to Barbara's (my bosses house) for the staff holiday party. I spent the entire lunch hour with these people LISTENING to them talk about the first time they ever had sex and then about which real/world road rules characters they like best. (I didn't participate because (1) It's none of their god damn business about my sexual past and (2) I don't watch that much TV so I couldn't chime in if I wanted to.) Then to have to go to the party to have a continuation of the conversation. Once they started to call Josh Groban an "Opera Boy" and say that they can't listen to him because he sings in a different language, I had enough...Thankfully I DID have to go early because I had to go and give Mathew and Julia their Hanukkah gifts and sit for them....I hope that when I work in a public school people there are more cultured...One day, one day...
Still haven't really made a dent in my Christmas list...I have like 10 more people to buy for...This shit never ends...I think that I will get more in the spirit when I'm on my 2 week break from school. Actually I think that after Tuesday all will be well.
My kids (all 40 of them) are starting to give in Holiday gifts. So far I got a frame. Now I know what it's like to be a teacher and have to write out thank yous ALL THE TIME. I do appreciate it all. my kids are really great and while I may sometimes complain about my co-workers and the fact that I'm not teaching what I want to, I really do LOVE my kids. They are damn cute...
I'll write more later on. Hope all is well out there with all of you...
BYE!
Jesse (as Matt and Julia call me)....Forget it....
