Honestly, I have been feeling inspired to blog lately; but then I come home and fall asleep.
I have good reason to fall asleep though (in my opinion), because I've been working 8-hour days teaching ESL in La Verne. A new teaching session starts tomorrow, where I'll downgrade to a 2-hour morning class, and then I'll be driving down to Cal State Long Beach to teach another 2-hour afternoon class.
I'm paying my teaching dues; all this work is pretty much just so I can hopefully get some good letters of rec and a little experience (NOT a lot of moolah). Luckily I really enjoy it. Thank goodness I didn't spend 4 years of undergrad getting a linguistics degree for nothing. (I really wasn't sure if I even wanted to go into teaching after college.)
Also, all this driving in a car with only a radio enables me get in my daily quota of NPR. I used to feel guilty about not being up on all the current events; now I feel like I know TOO MUCH. I mean really, do they have to talk for 30 minutes straight about home mortgage problems? Or bailout plans? Seemingly every hour? All the financial stuff gets on my nerves after a while, and I've started to tune it out, even without meaning to. But honestly,
who wouldn't rather hear an interesting story about the sex lives of sea creatures?

Oh man, I heard about that Isabella Rosselini movie last year! My friend was a blogger at the Tribeca Film Festival and he wrote about it and I thought he was joking...
And I hear you on knowing too much. We don't have TV; all we do is listen to the radio.
