I was SO excited to get my USB modem which allows to access internet EVERYWHERE (except LA) with CricKet... SO cheap too! I even got the modem for free (with a rebate that I have to still send in) and the plan is only $50!!! I like!
Yeah..... didn't know that internet is SO slow... AND I can't watch Netflix b/c it really is CHEAP! So frustrated. And of course Verizon is out of the question cause its expensive! Wah! Being poor sucks... but it's okay... soo much to do... I teach whole 5 periods with little children going through puberty... so exciting. Good news though! I think they are finally getting attuned to me and my teaching style. But nothing is definite... except death and taxes (Ben Franklin?).
I wonder why teachers are paid dirt? There is SO much that we have to deal with... but we are criticized, underpaid, yelled at, scorned, put-down, underpaid, screamed at, cussed at, underpaid, and did I mention, underpaid? Yeah people say its rewarding... but are they teachers themselves? Is it really worth it? I really wonder sometimes. Perhaps I'm so down because I'm not employed. That's another problem... how do you get employed? I'm TERRIBLE with interviews. I totally suck. Whatever, not going to worry about it right now. I have 5 classes full of poor attitude-y kids, and 3 students in Korea that I teach English online. I hope I'll do well. I hope, I hope!
I am a lady with a mind filled with many unorganized thoughts. This is one way for me to be organized... but will it stay organized?

New Place, New Life
I moved for work. I moved to a strange new place where I am unfamiliar about my surroundings except for my GPS, which is my guide and friend. The place I moved into, had a strange dark feeling, but at the same time its winter, in a new place. I don't know what's safe, what's dangerous, only that I don't know what to expect. So strange. I've never been so unsure of what to do before; I always know what to do. I can drive home, only 3 hours. But still, it's three hours!
If I was rich, I don't have to worry about where to go, where to eat, who to be with, or what I need to do next. If I had money to spend, I could make things happen and not have to worry about the cost, the time period, my check bouncing, or my car breaking down. If I had money I could find an agent to set up housing for me, pay the deposit, rent it, sleep, and do what I have to do. If I had money, I wouldn't have to worry about what is a fair price, how far is the commute, which is the best direction to go, what time to get up for work and what time I need to get back to go to my other work, or wonder when I can eat. Man, if I had money I would find a place, get everything set up, maybe find a nice motel or hotel to spend the time for work, and enjoy my time doing my work and whatever else. But because I don't have money I have to worry about every detail, every idea; what's the cheapest, what's the fastest, where should I go to grab something to eat and what should I eat? The most important question is: when will this begin/end?
