tv and jobs

interesting show last night on PBS called American Experience, is was all about the complete US history of Mormons. This last weekend Easter Sunday, we had a lesson about Jesus's resurrection and how that is the one miracle that our faith is bound to, and on the PBS show they compare the faith in that miracle to the miracle of the treasure of golden tablets that Joseph Smith found and translated into the book of Mormon. well anyway,
tonight I'm watching American Idol.... ya know, I rented the movie September Issue, 'cause ya know I like them documentaries. It's the real life behind the scenes of the editor's work at vogue, like Devil Wear Prada. I liked seeing all the behind the scenes work , definitely nothing like the movie, perhaps the hard nosed editing boss attitude etc... anyway, my favorite character was Grace the creative director former model. she is classic! what i hated the most was the Andre character, this over the top bigger than life gay fashion guy. I dunno it just got old hearing about his gucci wallet and underwear and blah blah blah. he seemed to REALLY be stuck in the name brand 80s. blech
I am really looking forward to class tomorrow, it's quite fun teaching these people how to write, we have a paper due this Friday and I'm sort of dreading what same old schleck I'll get turned in, on the other hand I've really tried to walk them through the preparation process of researching the topic and doing an OUTLINE!!!! I like it when they ask me if I"m teaching the Comp II class, but sometimes I wonder if they like the teaching or am I making it too easy etc.. ha ha. but NO, I don't even plan on teaching there after this summer. hopefully, Lord willing, I'll be employed full time somewhere doing something. I'm bound to find some sort of ESL position at a school here in OKC, but until then it means working at the water park this summer..hmmm
hope everyone is enoying some nice weather, I was off all day today and got out side up on a ladder with a chainsaw cutting off some tree limbs. gym today was back of arms day, I trying to get back on my 6 day plan from when I was overseas...also swam this morning, nice long day!

I called in and voted for Katie, Saibon, Andrew and Lee....my cureent faves who I'd like to sing again... but at this point I like seeing what they all have to sing each week, although I'm ready for Aaron and Tim to leave. and then maybe Katie and Andrew next, and then it will get REALLY tight between Casey, Lee, Saibon, Mike and Crystal. so we shall see. it's a nice entertaining ride from here on out.
