it's over and I made it.. .I went back to work on Wed at the public school I work at. arrived at 7:10 and then around 9:30 was out of there on my way to the last class of the community college class I taught this summer. It went well, showing the film Helvetica and doing their final essay . I was feeling sentimental as usual and told them all what a great class they'd been. after class I was on my way home for a quick sandwich and then changed to go to the water park with a friend from out of town and her 2 boys. they picked me up around 230 and we went and played and swam and rode the rides. lots of fun and lots of hot sun, man how awful it was like 105 out wednesday what are we, crazy? ha
yesterday was a teacher meeting all morning and then after lunch I found out about an opening at the admin office for a position I think I could actually be good at. I applied for it online and will now just wait and see I guess. :)funny thing to note here, I saw this guy at the admin building today who I thought FOR SURE was "part of the family" as they say in the military for gay guys.... I had asked him what he did this summer and said since he just got married, he and his wife just stayed in the city etc etc etc... wife? wow, ok cool.
As much I was dreading teaching again at the school I was at last year, and the dark gloomy cloud that was approaching all summer... well it's not so bad, I kind of like being experienced with a year already behind me, knowing teachers at the school already, getting back into my classroom, and so far not too big of classes.... I'll find out more next week and then really by the end of August since a lot of families don't return from Mexico until then anyway. blah blah. lots of new teachers this year so that is cool and fun to meet new staff... many jsut out of college whoah! that will be interesting indeed.
I've been emailing my Austin buddy about going back to Santa Fe next summer. I told him all I need is a hot young boyfriend like he has to take with me so the four of us can get a 2 bedroom place. ha.... I better start getting back to Banana Republic at the mall and start looking for Isaac, the hottie boy said hi to me once there. mmm
hey I really appreciate the comments lately. thanks tons. Rambler, no I'm not holding back on love, just hadn't thrown myself into anything, I guess I'd have to say I had a crush on a friend in college at one point and that ended and he never had any interest in me anyway, even though I know he HAS to be gay now living away life divorced in the marines... love...hhmmmm well the ex gf from okc I thought for sure was the one and felt somewhat in love with her until we broke it off. now I don't know I think I'd make a really good partner. I know I'd be giving gifts and running around having adventures, travel, the physical part, arms around, hugs, touch of the shoulder, back, back of the neck. all those nice things... but nope no head over hills in love with anyone so much. which is sad 'cause I'm a hopeless romantic at heart, I know since I love movies like that. just answering a question, not saying I'm pining away for that....also thanks for the comment about traveling to Greece. I'm going to look into that for fall break. nothing for sure yet, but I know I want to get away to somewhere. ONE huge motivator is we just got an extra months paycheck, because since we're starting school early, there was still last year's fiscal year check for August and then now that we're starting up we get this year's check on normal schedule for this year. man I had a green ink pen come open in my right front pocket today and had this dark green spot show up in front. oops.. it washed right out in the sink when I got home though, will throw 'em in the wash. what movies are you guys seeing this weekend? I'm excited to see a few if I ever get a chance, Cowboys and ALiens and crazy funny love, or whatever something like that. I really like Ryan Gosling. Did anyone see Lars and the Real Girl yet?? I told you to a few years back, it's an excellent little film. cue it up, now!

Wow! That was a rambling post, wasn't it? I'm glad that your start-up of school went well... it is always involves a little bit of stress, even for experienced teachers.
I know the feeling of that black cloud over you at the thought of returning to school. I will probably meet some of my new students tomorrow for our parent work day. I have to go and sort of supervise the parents, though not much is needed to be done in my classroom. I had hoped for a full-time position at a local community college, but they still haven't made a decision. Summer has gone by far too quickly.
BTW, I have always thought that you sounded like a great guy, and I know you will someday find that special someone. Just keep the faith.
Yeah, I think you would make a good partner, too. All the aspects you mentioned, plus all the interests you have. A lot to offer. Don't hold back if you meet someone you like. .... Good luck on starting back to school. It seems strange that the OK & TX schools start up so early. Maybe it's common in the South, but different from here in the Northwest. Who knows, the community college gig could turn into something more permanent. .... Nothing wrong with being a romantic, btw, with a nice touch of realism. .... Rambling comment here.
best of luck w/ the admin job. best of luck finding that special someone too.
cheers!
Dan!
105 degrees?!
Yikes!
And I was complaining about the upper 90's here in Chicago.
Hopefully your new school year will run smoothly for you!

Good luck on the admin job!!! Hope you get it!!!
1 question about teaching ELD - what do you teach? I was given a couple ELD sections with no curriculum, no nothing. And remember, I'm a first year teacher. I have tons of vocab I can teach with a program I'm familiar with, but beyond that I'm stumped. I may piggyback off of what they are doing in their regular classes?
