Auburn after college...

isn't so exciting. Its actually quite boring. My days consists of cleaning, organizing, decorating the den, cooking, Friends marathon, and reading. Its like I am a house wife without the husband and kids. For fun yesterday I went to Hastings for like an hour, although I find Hastings entertaining wether or not I am bored to death. Its been the highlight of my week! At least tonight I am going to the men's basketball game Florida.
I got all my paperwork in to sub at Beulah (where I interned), now I am just waiting on them to call me. $60 sure would be nice. Today I was looking for teaching jobs that were available now and came across one in Atlanta. I decided to investigate even though the school is part of Atlanta Public School so I was just assuming that the school would be in the heart of Atlanta, which would not be where I would want to start off teaching. Well much to my surprise the school is located in Buckhead, the nicest part of Atlanta. We have some close family friends that live in this area and the school was very close to their house. What are the chances! So I called and talked to my friend and then called to school to see if the position was still open, but of course it had already been filled. So I got all excited for nothing. Oh well, life shall go on.
Though this whole process I have decided that I don't want to stay in Auburn. Its not the same anymore and I have nothing here excepts a few friends and lots of memories. So after all the excitement from the Atlanta job, I decided to look some more. Alabama isn't looking to promising for jobs since the economy blows and plus its Alabama. So, where to look? There are thousands of schools in this county. My method of searching was to find a city first, so I started with a top 100 best small towns. Nothing promising, so basically I have no idea.

More Moon Pie hooplah

This is the political cartoon from Mobile's paper today. J.D. Crowe is a genius! I love his work.
You know, the so called Moon-Pie looks more like the Krispy Kreme Hot Sign. HaHa.

Moon-Pie Poetry? REALLY!

This sounds like a perfect topic for "Really! with Seth and Amy" a segment on SNL, however Amy is no longer on the show.
How more ridiculous can this Moon-Pie hoisting get? Councilman Clinton Johnson was so inspired by the event that he wrote a poem! How sweet!!! And I thought the whole leprechaun siting was the worst this city has seen.


"A Moon Pie Over Mobile, a sight for all to see,
"I stood in the crowd that night while thousands watched with me.
"A crane it took to hoist the pie, with lights flashing very bright,
"It startled all as they looked on this cold, cold New Year's night.
"Chattanooga Bakery was on the scene with the World's Largest Moon Pie,
"RC Cola was there as well, when the electric pie lit the sky.
"Mobile is now the City of Dreams, the Moon Pie confirmed this fact,
"I'll await this event next year, when the Mobile Moon Pie comes back.
"I commend you Mobile for this joyous event, don't let them steal your story,
"Keep raising your Moon Pie for years to come — watch the Moon Pie bring you glory!"

New Adventures

Well as my college career has now come to an end, it time to impart on a new chapter in my life. I am not ready to "settle down" somewhere and start a career. I am to young for that. My friend Kami, who was one of my roommates from Italy, is currently teaching English as a second language in S. Korea with plans of returning to Italy in 2010. I am hoping to join her 2010. I feel the experience will be useful one day in the classroom with the increasing number of students in our schools who do not speak English. As a classroom teacher it wouldn't be my responsibility to teach them English, but I could help them and I would be able to be more understanding of where they are coming form. I would have to be trained, but I might be able to do it online since i have a teaching degree. Otherwise, I will have to go somewhere to be trained. This is all "up in the air" right now, so I will just have to wait to see how things unfold. But if I am not planning on going anywhere till 2010, then I am going to need a job. I am not sure a teaching job would be the best since I know I will only be there for one year. Thats a lot of time and effort for only one year. I don't think it would be right going in knowing I would only be there for one year. We shall see.
