The entry right before this is long and looks very tedious to read...oh wait...it is! Read only if you are bored out of your mind or if I am forcing you to read it. Just venting again!:-)

Today is Wednesday and it is December 19. I'm not real sure what has happened in the last 3 months that kept me from writing. Possibly that the world has been in chaos and I completed the first semester of my student teaching experience!? Probably. Since September the 11th, I have re-evaluated myself as a person and as a citizen of this wonderful United States. I have learned that there is more to life than money and social status and that I am blessed to have food on the table (or on Sue's bed as the case may be). Sue and I are currently living in the basement of a group home as the live-in staff for overnights. We have found that we need very little and want very much in life. You learn a lot about a person when you live with them in a room that is about 20'X20'. I have learned that Sue Wintheiser is a wonderful human being to her very core...and I am so lucky to have her as my friend. She claims that she is leaving in February to pursue her dream of living in a big city...Chicago. I tell her she's full of it and should quit talking about nonsense. I, on the other hand, am beginning my job search by filling out applications for urban middle school teaching positions and am getting very nervous. I want so desperately to reach the goalpost of graduation, yet I am petrified of what lies behind the door of the real world. Mike and I (the adorable red-head, using previous blog quotes, has now become the ass wipe) have broken up and I have never been more satisfied with myself as a human, a woman, and as a goal-seeking adult. I am coming to know myself better than ever before and have decided that there is very little room for a man in my life with all of the things I want to do. In June, I plan on buying a house in the Twin Cities and beginning my new job in summer school. I will own a dog and touch base with at least one close friend per week. I will drive my new Saturn and pay off bills that have been awaiting payment for over 5 years now. LIfe will be great...and if a male happens to find his way into the maze of my life, that is wonderful...but if not, I will be all the more satisfied and in control.
