Summer time...

Well that's it, I'm done earning my bachelor's degree. The graduation ceremony is this Saturday (the 12th) and i'm damn proud to be walking. It's somewhat of a hollow victory as i'll be going back next semester for grad school, so it doesn't really feel like i'm "done" with any thing. It's just my normal summer break and back to class for me, except now one of those classes -i'll- be teaching. On that note i have learned that i will be teaching beginning algebra next semester unless something changes, and no matter what i'll be teaching some level of remedial algebra, but the good news is that i get payed, i definitely know the material, and i just have to keep it simple, and not go all "higher math" on them. I already have my teachers edition book to look over and apparently i'll get an office (or some sliver of space that they deem to qualify as an office). All in all i'm pretty excited about next semester...too bad summer has to happen first.

That's right! you heard me, i'm actually a little upset that it's already summer. School gives me something to focus on and apply myself to, summer doesn't so much. I'm already thinking of ways to kill time this summer. I'll definitely be biking and walking the dog a lot, but i think i want to do something creative as well. So far i've thought about wood working, guitar, martial arts, painting models(...not the people kind), photography, film, sculpture (clay or composite), and landscaping. As you can see the list is pretty random, but it's all stuff that seems interesting and creative to me. I'll probably also sign up for a class about one of these next semester as well, unfortunately the art classes are already pretty much full, but i think beginning guitar might work out. Anyway, i'm sure i'll figure it out, but in the mean time, you can probably expect a lot more posting by me...
