"What I want most of all..."

[senormo]

Can I just say that it still amazes me that I cannot get to Wikipedia, but I can get to Livejournal? What sense does that make? Freaking firewalls...

So I've been wracking my brain, trying to come up with an alternate career for myself. And coming up empty. Which leads me to believe that perhaps my current discontent with teaching is not so much

you have been writing more lately. i think this is really good. not to be all therapisty or anything. i just tend to think it helps to get stuff out.

you know, i think you are probably a damn good teacher. well actually i know you are. and i think it's the height of bull-shitty bull-shit that you keep getting stuck with the same stuff. i mean, there's always the argument that you sort of OWN your curriculum if you teach it that long, but we, as homo sapiens and lovers of knowledge, need to switch it up every now and again. this i understand.

perhaps you should try new approaches to your curriculum. i mean, yeah, you've already got everything planned for it, but this would be a pretty cool opportunity to do a whole bunch of new stuff, or just a little bit. like, you've got all the basics, you know all the objectives, so why not mix it up? try like, blogging or message boards or other new technology. or you could try new essay prompts or new approaches to writing or doing lots of project based lessons.

i don't know. i'm not pretending to be susie fucking sunshine, because sometimes shit just sucks. maybe there's an upside...i know you mentioned in your other post that speech was starting, so that'll be something new and interesting.

basically growing up sucks balls, and we might as well get used to it. i'm going to try to make it up this weekend - is it ok if i let you know tomorrow evening? i'll have a better idea as to whether i'm all caught up.

love you, and sorry for the epic comments :) this is why livejournal should have limits.
