oh, and another thing.

Originally uploaded by Shunklies i also want to say that it's really weird that i actually have money now. it's hard to get used to, and i continue to live like i did before - you know, buying nothing for myself, feeling guilty when i do, forgetting that i can spend a little every now and then.
i was just browsing flickr, looking at these gorgeous batts by shunklies, thinking to myself, "wow. i wish i could ask her to card another batch of those for me, but i can't afford them." then i realized, wtf? i'm actually salaried. that's so weird to say!
it's even weirder to think about, because teaching is so much a lifestyle to me that it doesn't even seem like work. you can never really go home from it, you can never really get away from it. every show you watch and every thing you read, becomes "how can i make this into a lesson?" "would this work in the classroom?" "did i grade that stuff?" "did i call that kid's mom?"
anyway, just thinking aloud, so to speak. it still shocks me sometimes that this is actually what i do every day.
