thanks, i really enjoy working with the kids. it's only 22 hours a week (2 to 6pm on mon tues thurs and fri and 12 to 6 on wed). yesterday was fun reuniting with all of them again plus some new kids. the problem with a month off is losing routine so i let the kids get away with more than usual. as for me, i am going back to school next week (i'm not sure yet) it depends on whether i pay for the fees by the deadline (end of this week, i think). i dont want to use a credit card to pay for it though but no other choice. after making all the calls for me to actually get back into school and convince them i am a "serious student" (after a year long hiatus), it seems like a waste not too just because of money. i quit the second job i had (the night one mentioned in one of my older entries) and if i hadnt i wouldnt have been able to get away on the minitrip that i just took, so i am again looking for a second job - supplementary income. however, i cannot have a second job if i am going back to school - i dont want to foreclose the possibility of a "good education." i'd like to amend the "school is for suckers" statement above to add that we are only suckers if we think that higher education makes us instantly better off. if only we were all independently wealthy, we could stay in school forever and not even care about the practically of it.

i havent left you a monkey in a while so
