Gabriel is sick with a bad cough. I have canceled his appointments. I hope he feels better. Everyone is feeling sick. My students come to class with the plague, and urge them to go home.
I saw Slumdog Millionaire, and still can't get it out of my mind. The film was a beautiful tale about survival, love, friendship, and desire to beat the odds. I simply can't stop thinking about it. The massive poverty in India is overwhelming. I wish our global government could put greed aside, and actually come up with a plan to at least help fight diseases, and create fresh drinking water. Why must greed paralysis the minds of most governments? Why must people turn to crime as a survival method? Welcome to reality!
Back to the problem of a typical American. The job situation is getting farcical. Yesterday, I went a job agency, and the place was just blah. Robots vomiting pleas, and worker bees taking tests, and stewardess telling you about potential jobs. Note to self: I suck at Excel. I must brush up.
Well, I hope to get more teaching gigs, and hopefully could lands this awesome testing manager gig at ACC.
Random- I am writing a non-fictional short story about my thrilling experience Panama. A traveler's guide, if you will. Must have editor brush it up!!! Then, study about the complex step in order to submit my short story. If no one gives a shit, I'll produce it at next year's Fringe Fest.
