Fall is here.. lalala!

Well hey there, everyone! *mr rogers smile*

So i dont really even know who reads this.. i may be writing completely for my own betterment.. but be that as it may... i will continue to write.

So i'm in portland, for now. Going to portland state uni... seeing what will happen next.
I never can seem to stay in any place for too long of a time. I enjoy being home, but after a few months, i want to be out traveling again. There should be some school where you are on one huge continual study abroad program.. and that still only costs $2500-3500 a quarter. no joke. that would be AMAZING. i would quit all of life and just do that for the rest of eternity.

I'm teaching theater, but my classes keep getting canceled. yeah.. bummer. I started with 4, now i'm down to 2, and one of those seems like it may be going soon. It's all due to low enrollment. Definitely a blow to the self-esteem when your classes are cancelled due to low enrollment! Luckily for me, i dont have self-esteem issues....... uh... just kidding. um the actual story is that all of homelink is experiencing the same low enrollment, so its not because of me or something. *phew*
About the class, though, i really like the kids. Its a bit strange teaching high schoolers since i've only been out of HS for 3ish years, anyway.. but its cool at the same time. We can have conversations about their teachers and about their homework and i know what they're talking about because i did the exact same stuff and had the same teachers. Which makes me feel old at times when i have no idea what they're talking about!

In that last sentence i had a definite problem typing 'idea' instead of 'ikea', and it reminded me of how much i love ikea. Ikea is great! Everyone go to ikea. in fact, hang out at ikea! They have really good meatballs. Well actually, their meatballs are only okay... but their alfredo is amazing! And its only like $1.50. Because ikea is mucho cheapo. eeyah. and then walk through the rooms and feel that evil spirit of covetoussness grab your soul, and fight the urge to grab the lady's purse next to you, scoop up a few brilliant, sweedish-named cushions from the display, and make a fervent dash for the checkout line before anyone figures out whats going on. Yep... good times.

In other news...
Classes are good.

Thats about all.
i think i'm gonna go to goodwill..

Peace!
