december

This break is coming to a close and normally I would say it went too fast, I need more time but this time I'll only say I need more time. The two weeks seemed adequate in length and even though I feel I did enough around the house I could have worked a bit harder on the scholastic side. Much has happened during this break and I discovered that I am very pleased that I metamorphose quite well in different situations and I just do what I need to do. 

I can be that girl walking and taking the bus every where one day and driving my brand new car the next. Walking is nice because I get exercise and can listen to my iPod for long periods of time and it is easier to stop to help people and taking the bus is nice because it is time to read my book and driving is good because it is faster and I have an iPod hookup in it.  

I can be stalked at food4less one day and taking tennis lessons at an expensive country club the next. Being stalked was funny because I did not even notice and all she needed was some beer and cigarettes and the tennis lessons are fun and humbling and more time with them.

I can drink in their garage one evening and be dancing in a laguna beach club the next. The garage is cozy and everyone makes me laugh and clubs are always great because dancing makes me happy.  

Dinners with family and friends or alone on the couch. I get more variety with other people and the conversation is great and the couch is relaxing because I get to watch television with my meal.

I do not necessarily feel like I fit better in one situation over the next. This might be the thing I like [most?] about myself. I lack an intrinsic feeling of entitlement and have an appreciation for what I do have in my life. 

This week I begin my teacher life again and I hope I can be optimistic and this time actually make some sort of difference in a life.

p.s.  ...I was not embarrassed to carry my umbrella...
