City Life Blues...

Ok, I'm back. Finally. This city life thing has been quite an adjustment. Hence the fact that I haven't written on this blog in months and months.
Well anyways, I am teaching at a high school in downtown San Jose. I knew that teaching inner-city kids would be quite different from teaching kids on the North Shore of Oahu. But still, it has been, in many ways, much more difficult than I had tried to imagine.
Oh well... I'm just taking one day at a time basically. And trying to focus on the few hours of my life that I enjoy = getting home. making dinner. sitting down. seeing brett (after he gets home, usually around 8:30pm)

anyways, i have this terrible habit of whining about this new city life, so i'll stop right now.
to celebrate my birthday, i am taking this friday off, and looking forward to that is making this week look much brighter.

thanks to lanell, allyson, mikila, nancy, and friends who have called me out of my hole and asked me to be responsive and human again. i am coming back!

and guess what: thanksgiving is coming soon. i'm sure you're looking forward to it as much as i am. ben, esther, and her husband brian are coming to san jose to celebrate! yeah, that should be nice.
