I need to get working on revising my novel. A friend read chapter one and liked it, and it gave me the drive to edit chapter 2. I find it's hard to work on editing (which is rather unfun) unless I have someone waiting on them. Took me 18 months to write, (though not straight. Long periods of nothing time in there) I'd hate for...

Well, I survived the week. I mean, they changed all my classes (including subject) on me 15 minutes before school started on Tuesday, so I had to wing it. Wednesday some little shit stole my cell phone and I had to endure a long and mostly pointless faculty meeting, then drive 30 miles to meet my dad to get a new phone. Today my pen...

probably quite a lot. I'm moody as fuck.

ew, real life. 
Another serious journal entry aborted. I sense a trend.
Edit: More like a way of life. Had a good idea, took the dog out for a crap, and by the time I got back in, it had evaporated.
Edit Edit: And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead might be the heroin of my muse. As soon as it kicked on, my cylinders...

yep $600 for a bedroom in someone's house. Well, private bedroom, private bathroom, my own laundry room. In a gorgeous house in a beautiful quiet neighborhood.
I mean there are places asking for much less, one of the cheapest I saw was $325 but I didn't hear back.
I have a lead on another $600 place. She was originally asking $800 but when I told her that was out of my price range she said she'd take $600.
Single apartments in this area go for around $1000 a month.

I hope teaching is going well.
"And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead might be the heroin of my muse."
That is cool.

School is going well, at least it did today. Not much going on, but I apprecate my weekends a hell of a lot more now. It's only tuesday! Crap.
Edit: Oh, yeah. Dropped my project class for my MAT. I'll worry about it next year, maybe.

Teaching went from bad (tuesday) to not bad (today). Tomorrow should be a kicker, what with it being friday and all. Either way, it's going to be a pretty long year. I'll be a little happier when the state works out their problems in regards to my level of education and I start getting paid what I'm supposed to be. Half assing my lesson plans...

Why, do you live in Scandinavia? Kidding 
You can barely see my house there, it's on the barely visible east coast. I didn't even bother to draw the Chesapeake Bay.

i didn't say you were uninteresting!
First contact went not as well as I'd have hoped. They had me at a disadvantage. . . it's odd that the first days are the most important for building stability and are also the most absolutely fucked up and out of control. Wasn't horrible, but I still feel sort of unprepared. Once more:
Oh, been sort of busy, so less able to keep up...

Ooh new bands! Always cool.
Is Röyksopp electronica sort of? I don't even know... but if they are I'll probably like their music or at least find it interesting.
"Norwegian invasion" doesn't sound quite as catchy as "Asian invasion"

Me First And The Gimme Gimmes AND Death To Smoochie? Rad.
My DVR is quite possibly the greatest single event to happen to me in my entire life…
Word.
Being able to fast forward through commercials has me COMPLETELY spoiled. I LOVE it. 
Yeah, it’s the little things that make me smile. I’m such a nerd. 
Went to inservice today. The school I work at is really.. unique. It's in a particularly run down area of town. Actually a derelict industrial zone, so it has that crowded emptiness to it. In many ways, the typical inner city school. . .
Except. . .
The school only serves 400 kids, despite being housed in a facility originally built to serve 3 times...

How fun! My major was Elementary Ed and my sister is an Asst Principal. What age are you going to teach?
I love that you list "DVRs" and "being both helpful and rude" in the things you're into. My DVR is like... the best thing to ever happen to me. And I'm a stickler for manners, but I'll be the first to tell someone off in public.

I'd like to see my classroom before the first day of school. Maybe even get it ready to some degree. A little nervous about the whole thing, but it should be fun. Done with Old Job, so I've got 4 days to enjoy the last of summer and write up classroom management plan, et al.
Need a nap today. Went to trivia...

So, I got a job today. Small (<400 kids) inner city school, teaching multiple subjects (History, English, Govenment). Pretty exciting stuff.
Still, kind of sad. Hear some bad news about a friend of mine, and it's got me in kind of a funk. Reminds me of a something that happened a while ago, with the same friend, actually. Got some bad news and had a...

Congrats on the job and sorry about your friend. I know how you feel. I could really give a shit about what happens to me... but my friends... that's a different story. Anywho, I hope your friend feels better soon.
Annie is cool
