8.5 hour days are boring!

I figure I really haven’t posted anything of significance recently. It has been a boring work sort of life. Still enjoying my car. I am happy it is summer here at Brookdale but the days just drag on forever. Then when I get home I have no energy to do my Pilates. Hopefully when all of the season finales for my shows are done with, I will just set out to do my exercising.

Anyways, I am going to adjunct next fall for one of the pre-algebra classes. I am quite excited about it. Now maybe I will not feel so much like a tool. Yeah, I feel like a tool at work. Just sit around waiting to answer peoples’ questions. Plus I get to have full control over the material and grading. I now have the whole summer to plan out lessons, quizzes and tests. By the fall I really shouldn’t have to do anything except for teaching and grading. Hurray. Not to mention the extra cash will come in handy.

Also I managed to pick out a couple of more schools to apply to. As I make steps to through this application process, I am starting to get this big sinking feeling that I won’t be accepted. If I do get accepted, it won’t be on terms amenable to my situation. There is this little voice in the back of my head that says, don’t let yourself get rejected like this. Go enroll at Kean for a Masters of Education and get into the classroom real fast. But my other little inkling says, you have always wanted those three letters attached to your name and the title Professor. If I don’t do anything, I know I’ll be stuck here in the job forever because it is secure, and I am no risk taker. Ugh. *Need to stop thinking about not getting in and actually apply* So here is my list: Princeton, Rutgers, Duke, Virginia Tech, Old Dominion, NC State, University of South Carolina, and Vanderbilt. Reminds me, I need to email Dave and Ben about it. Also need to sign up for the stupid subject test again.

In 5 weeks, I’ll be enjoying the sunshine and the Big Mouse. Other than that I am a boring, boring person with no life.

Well, if life doesn’t work out I can always join a convent.

Yeah, I'm at work right now. There are no pressing matters of state here, so I present you with the new Oasis song. It is just stuck in my head. I think it's good.

Lyla by Oasis
Calling all the stars to fall
And catch the silver sunlight in your hands
Come for me, set me free
Lift me up and take me where I stand

She believes in everything
And everyone and you and yours and mine
I waited for a thousand years
For you to come and blow me out my mind

Hey Lyla
The star's about to fall
So what d'you say
Lyla
The world around us makes me feel so small
Lyla
If you can't hear me call, then I can't say
Lyla
Heaven help you catch me if I fall

She's the queen of all I've seen
And every song and city far and near
Heaven help my mademoiselle
She rings the bell for all the world to hear

Hey Lyla
The star's about to fall
So what d'you say
Lyla
The world around us makes me feel so small
Lyla
If you can't hear me call, then I can't say
Lyla
Heaven help you catch me if I fall

Hey Lyla
The star's about to fall
So what d'you say
Lyla
The world around us makes me feel so small
Lyla
If you can't hear me call, then I can't say
Lyla
Heaven help you catch me when I fall

Horoscope

Sometimes I am amazed at how dead on my horoscope is. Case in point,
Today's Horoscope:

Your threshold of acceptability may now be tested as contrary voices tug at your consciousness. One voice reminding you that you can do anything you choose. You want to love and be loved. You want to be needed at work. You want to be recognized for your wit and your intelligence. But the other voice is asking for quiet anonymity, for you are much to careful for indiscriminate interactions. Take a risk and let yourself be seen for who you are. You may be surprised at how liberating it feels.

Well everything except for the last two sentences are true. We all know I'm not a risk taker.
Well...an interesting weekend. Went up to Dickinson. Good to see the boys for a tiny bit. Got to see all the wonderful physics people. I miss being in that whole atmosphere. Saw Nea, physics Brian, Skip, Geoffy, Dackman, and Bass. Good fun. The infernos concert freakin' rocked. They sounded about 20 times better than we did last year. Or that is what I thought. Scotty sang my favorite Hootie song in the entire world, Hold My Hand. Ader and Cuyler did a little parody on If I Had A Million Dollars, which rocked. They all rocked. I miss it so much. Maybe I should try to find an a cappella group around here and join it. That would be cool.

Went to a suprise baby shower for one of the gals I work with. It was awesome. The surprise worked out perfectly. Plus the day turned out to be beautiful. Beckie and I went out to Applebee's that night for a little bit of food.

Sunday was Mommy's Day. So we trekked out to Old Bay restaurant and had wonderful beers and food. Ugh was super stuffed. Afterwards, Dad and I headed out to see Hitchhiker's. It started out really good, and then it puttered out. It almost seems like they picked the wrong things to show in the movie. But what do I know.

The bro comes home tomorrow. OOO Fun.

you suck, and that's sad
you are the "you suck, and that's sad"
happy bunny. your truthful, but can be a bit
brutal.


which happy bunny are you?

Ha....funny. I almost certain it's true though.

Cinco de Mayo

Happy me, as well as happy car! I finally picked up my *new* car Tuesday night. Hurray for my blue Volvo v50. I absolutely adore it. I haven't quite decided on a name for the car...so for now it stays happy car. Only thing I don't like about the car...it has no freakin' place to keep change for tolls. But one makes due. I still love my car.

Happy Birthday to my lil bro!!!

It's my last late night for the semester. No more late evenings for another month or so. So I'm happy about that.

Don't have anything else to report.

happy!

Can't Be Held Responsible...

Dude...might as well just start with my story. Friday night, beckie presented me with a perfectly good opportunity to go out and hang with her, steve and james?? And what did I do...I said I don't feel like it. What did I do instead, you ask? I cleaned. Yes, the entire house...dusted, vacuumed all that jazz. I also did a wonderful 30 minutes of pilates. What the hell is the matter with me?!?!?! I must have some serious chemical imbalance if I'd rather stay at home to clean and workout than go out with friends.

Saturday at King of Prussia was enjoyable. Would have been moreso if dana was able to make it. Good to see laurie, after...sheesh it must almost be a year. Glad she is getting along well down there. Yey for seeing cryssy and suzer. We had lunch at t.g.i. friday's with our overly friendly water dave, who happened to share more information with us than we really needed. It still gets me how huge that mall is. I was the only one who did any shopping...being in need of a bathing suit. *Can't fit into the suits from like 3 years ago...yeah remember crosscountry sized me. they were tiny bathing suits.*

It is May, and that is a happy thing. Warmer weather, being able to spend some time outside. Brother comes home. That should be...interesting.

I'll write when some big life changing event happens.

The middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To the river so deep
I must be lookin' for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross
even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and stand on the shore
I try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find what I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
I been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I'd never lose
Something somebody stole
I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is I've been looking for

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To the river so deep
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night

’M’not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That is runnin' to the promised land

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night
