I think the 10 is ridiculous...
Aha! I have two weeks left before I am unleashed unto the real world with all my glorious teaching powers! TWO WEEKS.
Now, I am going to pause here and say this: I have wanted to be a teacher since oohhhh, 7th grade. How many years has is been that I've been wanting this job? Like almost 10 years. TEN YEARS is a long time to want something. A long long long long time. That's nearly half of my life, right there.
And, in two weeks (give or take the actual amount of time the state takes to process my paperwork), I will be a teacher. How cool is that?!? It is very cool.
Of course, at that point in time, I will be a very unemployed teacher, but I will be done with school for a little bit - until I get my masters at least. Haha. I'll be done with school. Funny how I can say that, yet it's not true at all, since my life will revolve around school. Just not my schooling.
On another note, driving for like 5/6 hours does bad things to your mind. You start to question billboards. You wonder about street signs.
Yesterday as I was driving back to Cali, I saw this sign on the road - it was one of those electronic blinky ones - "Slippery when wet." Now, I may have been losing my mind at this point, but I could not for the life of my figure out what the point of the sign was. Nor could I really decide what was slippery when wet. The road? The rocks by the road? Only this section of road? Because it is my understanding that when a road gets wet, yes, it gets slippery. Fact. Do I need a sign? No.
I also saw a billboard that said this in big letters:
SIMPLY RED
Followed by a small tagline underneath that said this:
Syphilis is back.
I kid you not. It was not SIMPLY RED? Or SIMPLY RED!?!?!?! Or SIMPLY RED! Or SIMPLY RED :(
It was like SIMPLY RED was a brand name. I was like, oh what are they advertising??
Oh, Syphilis. Of course.
