On the Road Again...

No, not planning a road truip. Just commenting that I am back on the road to wherver it is I am supposed to be going again. Trying hard not to be fatalistic about stuff, but it seems like this year, despite my efforts to change things, is shaping up to be a repeat of last year.

The AP thing not happening this semester as hoped. At this point, feeling very doomsday about the possibility of it next year. Trying hard to stay positive about the rest of the semester and finding great things to teach.....but teaching is a two-way street and these students' receptiveness is about as high as a dung fly.

The new car is working great and I love riding around in it. I feel very weird about it like it was the wrong choice and I have a sense of guilt driving it around.

I miss Sara and all my other adult friends and hanging out with them. But, I did have a great time hanging out with the family on Saturday, this time WITH the Elf, and then watching Mystic River a film that should be burned immediately along with Eastwood who should never direct a film again. He is an exposition freak and a predictable director. Steak and Ale was interesting and the evening was profound with laughter.

A stirring of emotions is being rekindled inside me that must be snuffed out and held at bay or I am going to lose my mind and put myself in a situation I do not want to be in.

Decided to create a blog to take notes for my high school experience. Easier than trying to write it down. Not as visually personal, but I DO want to be able to read the damned thing. I fear that I willhave to quit teaching at this school if and when the book comes out because of all the stuff I am "uncovering." I understand so many things about the secondary system that I didn't quite get before.

Golden Globes were interesting. Glad Angels in Americawon all the awards it did. Wish LOTR did not because traditionally if it wins at the GG, it's to make up for not winning at the Academy's. I hope that is not true because it really was an amazing movie.

I am at a loss right now and not sure for what. I am eagerly awaiting my next paycheck so I can plan my NY trip over spring break. I need to reconnect with that city and check out living and working possibilities. I am going to get nowhere slowly staying here in Florida.

Disjointed blog anyone?
