...but I think I can manage.

I finally got my drivers license. A bit late, I know. So now I'm driving myself back and forth between Huntington and Fullerton. Joy. I still don't have a parking space at the apartment, though, so now I have to learn to parallel park. x_x

I have a job now, teaching the K-1 religious school class. There's a teaching guide, so I don't have to come up with a curriculum all on my lonesome, and my colleagues are always willing to answer any questions I might have. I'm really looking forward to it. I used to volunteer with the preschool when it was up and running, and now I'm actually going to be paid for working with the kids. Crazy.

I have two theory classes. History of and Contemporary Anthropology. So that has been a bit of a mind melter. The research papers are going to be a hoot, too. One for each class and then I get to lead discussions, joy of joys. surprised

I've been trying to get my brother to enroll in a teaching credential program, but he's been so depressed that he's threatened to join the army for lack of options. He used to tell me that enlisting was the last thing he would ever do, he didn't want to work with or on weapons. Now he thinks it will solve all his problems. He's living at home, not working, not in school, he thinks that he's failed. It's really making me sad, seeing him at such a loss.

Derek I've given up trying to get back in school. If he doesn't want a degree, fine. It's his time and money that would be on the line. I just thought that he wanted to finish his education. Now I just feel like a nag.

There's a whole lot more going on in my life, but I don't feel like rambling anymore. XD
