Friday was one of those crappy days, cuz I had to put up my loft. Its ok now, I guess, but I didn't enjoy it. My little cousin pissed me off, (My uncle brook's daughter) cuz she was so freakin cute and innocent, and it made me wish for those days again.

Saturday was pretty much head to Eden day. Nothing exciting there unless you just so happen to stare at your night elf pictures every night before you fall asleep.

Sunday was supposed to be the day that me and my parents hung out, except my dad sucks and went to the track instead. So I had to go shopping with ma and grandma. How opposite of fun can you get?

Monday was just a crappy day in general. I came back to Central, and I had an assload of stuff with me. Like the ladder for my loft. If you guys head down here, I'll show you this death trap my parents thought was a good idea.

This morning I took my Education class for teaching, and the more I take it, the more I'm convinced I don't want to be a teacher. Everyone else in there has different drives for it than I do, and I'm not sure if thats because I have the wrong ones, or because everyone else is a freakin genius. We had to share our parts of ourselves that made us who we were in school, and I said I never liked learning, and that it felt like a chore. The only things I enjoyed were the things were I could say what I wanted or do things with creativity.
Everyone looked at me like I was retarded, and then told me how learning was their life, how they felt they had to pass the knowledge on, blah blah blah I'm Jesus Christ, lookit me. If I decide I don't want to be a teacher, I r teh screwed, because I haven't really thought about a second career.

But I'm probably just getting ahead of myself. I'm sure things will work themselves out and I'll be just fine. TTYL.

Is what the positive side of me says, but the side of me thats a little more negative but has common sense says,

I'm screwed. I'll see you all later

it looks like i'm in the wrong business. because i feel the same way they do. and i'm not kissing anybody's ass. any of my friends who have asked me a question will attest to the fact that i LOVE to pass all the knowledge on that i may have garnered over the centuries... but that still doesn't make me a teacher.

you don't have to KNOW what you want to do with the rest of your life. but i would start eliminating possibilities. it's definitely a step in the right direction. a step that's easy to make at first. think of all the things you would NEVER IN YOUR LIFE want to do for a living. then, DON'T go to college to be any of those things. i'm pretty sure you'll have that down pat.

next step, is to ask yourself if you can see yourself in yourself's shoes doing yourself's job for yourself. what i'm trying to say is, look at the teachers you've had... and seeing the bullshit they've had to deal with, are you also willing to deal with that very same bullshit in order to get a paycheck. and how long do you think you'd be able to put up with that bullshit. and why would you want to (aside from the paycheck).

you don't have to know everything. but if you start finding answers to SOME of those questions, the picture might clear up a bit.

i know it doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense, but there's much much more to teaching than passing on knowledge. i was a TA for mrs. millard last semester, and i rarely, if ever, passed any knowledge on to anybody. i taught more people as a STUDENT than as a TEACHING ASSISTANT.

what the fuck kind of sense does that make?

sorry. i'm rambling now. jackie and i must come visit you, and all of your fellow... umm... TROUTERS?

hopefully you got something worthwhile out of all that. (considering i'm a communications major, i don't communicate very well sometimes...)

I've NEVER noticed that you like to pass knowledge on. Ever...not once. But I mean that in a good way.

I'm kinda like you, except I like to help people, since I don't really have a large pool of knowledge to pass around to others.
