It didn't used to be this hard to keep up with my blog. I guess life just gets the better of you sometimes and you feel guilty about spending valuable time sitting at a computer. I feel like I should be working on homework or cleaning my house but I know that Sam will appreciate reading about life at home.
Life here definitely isn't as exciting as Sam's semester at sea. I take time almost everyday to check his blog and check to see if the new slideshow has been posted. I guess you could say I'm participating in my own "vicarious voyage". I loved watching the "Literature and Lions" slideshow. It was a combination of two of my favorite things: literature and animals. I really hope that Sam was able to feed the baby lions or at least had the chance to be near a lion. Do you remember that video of Christian the lion? I wonder if they talked about that during the excursion.
Anyways, tomorrow is the start of my fall break and I plan to visit the 'rents. I don't know what we will do but I could use a break from "adulthood" and Aries could use the exercise. I guess Cash has been terrorizing everything and I believe it is the result of boredom so I think my visiting will help. Aaron has a second interview next week for a much better job. He will get a $20,000 pay raise, a company car, and travel expenses paid (including car insurance). If he gets this job, a lot could change for us. I'm trying not to get my hopes up but after my unemployment and the sacrifices we have had to make, its hard not to be excited. I am tutoring now but it doesn't pay much. I'm just happy that I'm getting some teaching experience in before I student teach in the spring.
Two Mondays from now, I'm going to Monrovia High School to observe Mrs. James' class all day. I had to call Mr. Hagist for his official permission but he seemed excited to hear from me. I was surprised that he remembered me at all. Mrs. James is pretty much thrilled that I'm coming to see her. I'm excited that I'll be sitting in on Lydia's class. I'm starting to get to know her so much better lately and really enjoy talking to her.
Well, that's about it except that everyone around me is getting sick. It reminds me of some low-budget zombie movie where everyone is dragging their feet and groaning all over the place and when you touch them, you turn in to a zombie as well. I feel like the last living human surrounded by the living dead. I don't know why I haven't gotten sick yet. I guess I have an extra-strong immune system.
