I should be better at this
So, here I am, sitting in the Houston airport, checking my friends page, then realized that I haven't posted in forever. Not that there are many people who still read this, but this is better for the maintaining of the human record, or some such manner like that, I'm sure my anthropology professors are already wincing at the use of my degree.
England, that's a good place to start, since I'm not there, I've never been there, and I'll probably never make it over there. I'd like to say that fate or luck has something to do with that, but mostly it's the economy and my health that caused that to happen in such a way. Yes, Durham got canceled because I didn't think I could scrape together the money for it. Instead, I'm staying at home for a year and working my pants off to earn some money.
Work, the natural transition for that topic change. Yes, I still have the same job that I've had forever, and the same people are there with the same drama. It's very much the same thing that's always been going on, and that is rather nice. I get most of my social activity from the office, since I have two friends there who make sure I know that I talk. Office partners and such like that. I actually have a second job, which is slightly more interesting, and a great deal more frustrating. I'm a substitute teacher.
Yes, you heard that right fair reader, I am a sub, passive little me, am a substitute teacher. I deal with adolescents all day, who particularly think that because I'm a sub, they don't have to listen to me. However, I don't let them get away with it, and each day I sub, I get a little bit more and more strict, and learn the tricks of the trade. It gets very annoying rather quickly, but I deal with it, as it's good experience for my future career.
Ug, career, I feel rather conflicted about that. I mean, I want to get my Masters and Ph.D, but all the stupid things that have happened to me along the way just makes it nearly impossible to stay optimistic about these things. I'm nearly tempted to either take the job in Ohio that my dad could get me, or get my teaching certificate and teach in TX, or some nearby state. However, I know that that would end up very very poorly for me because I know that several friends would take great care in making their displeasure known about those decisions.
Hmm, what else? Oh yes, hobby. I have a new one, which is rather fun, and I love it. I collect Asian Ball Jointed Dolls. My family thinks they're massively creepy, but I've stopped caring what they think, as I'm enjoying myself, and that's what truly matters.
So yes, I'm sitting here in the Houston airport, waiting for our next flight to Tampa. Then I'll spend Christmas with my grandparents, and hopefully have a good time. I hope to be better at this, in case there are some who still read and are interested in what I have to say. Or, as stated earlier, for the sake of the human record, someone needs to know what I'm thinking.
Ja ne!!
