So yeah...

It's been awhile since I've posted...I really haven't been too busy (although perhaps a little more busy than most)...I just haven't had much to say. I've been seeing my friends a little more, which is cool. I leave in less than 3 months (can you believe it??) and I would like to spend as much time as possible with them. I got fired (laid off) from Children, Inc...which I think is pretty shitty, but I've been able to pick up extra shifts at the Children's Home, which is cool. Everybody there is a lot of fun to hang out with and it's been great getting to know people better. I don't really have a whole lot to say right now, but I didn't want to get out of the habit of posting. I guess I'm just living day to day, trying to get by...I'm not sure if I've talked about this on here or not, but I've recently reached a decision that I don't particularly want to teach in a general edu. setting. Lately my dream teaching job is to teach in a hospital's children's psych ward or maybe at a children's home (either DCCH or another one). I have no interest in having my own classroom and I just want to help those kids who seem out of reach. I am determined to touch lives in my lifetime and make an impact on people. I'm not sure whether or not this idea will change b/c I tend to do that, and I'm sure that Australia will impact my teaching in some way, and I'm not sure how yet. But as of right now, this is what I'm interested in. I want to help people...pretty vague, but that's the main idea right now, especially children. I believe that everyone deserves a chance to dream and strive to reach those dreams...if I can help make that happen for one child, then I can consider my life a success...lol, at least I think. I don't know, maybe I'll never be satisfied, but I do know that I'm not going to sit around and wait for greatness to find me...I'm going to seek it out so that I can make a difference...

The Road Not Taken
By Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

I want to walk on a path that hasn't been touched before
