So this is my real life: The 2009 Edition.

I am a high school art teacher in Crystal Lake, Iowa. You've never heard of it? Well, it IS home to the World's Largest Bullhead. Dually it serves as my "real life" for the time being. It isn't perhaps my ideal situation, but it is a job.

I figured I better put a semi-periodic update on my life when I have a tiny bit of time.

Here are a few positives about having my job:

I can afford to pay my bills.

I have a desk.

I don't live with my parents.

I am getting my first year of teaching out of the way.

I get to hang out with little kids twice a week. (I miss KTC kids)

I have time to do grad school application stuff.

My apt has an extra room that I use for making art.

Some students can be pretty cool sometimes.


And that is all for now. I will write more when things change or become more exciting.

Coffee and CocoRosie

It's August.

UPDATE:
I graduated from college. :)
I moved back home. :(
I was in the Des Moines Arts Festival. :)
I have two part-time jobs :/
I have no real life (job). :( :( :(
I am going to apply to grad schools soon. :)

I am making art here and there. Currently slump-age is taking over my ability to make art but this is soon to change. I feel it. I ate a fortune cookie and it told me that my worries will go away if I face them bravely. I thought that was good advice.

Did I mention I need a real job that's away from home. If anyone has one for me, pllleeeeeaaaasssseeeee help. I'll do a good job, I swear.

Not much else going on with this gal.

Oh, and I miss hanging out with kids more than ANYTHING. ug.

February, eh?

It blows my brains that it's February already. I am a student teacher and only have three weeks left at my high school placement. The students who are passionate about art are bomb. The rest are semi-ok.

Oh and i just realized that i GRADUATE in APRIL.....Yipes Snipes.

I just felt like I needed to post something because it has been ages since I have. But more will come when I am less busy and am making more art. This will all be in the very near future. I promise. This is my written contract to myself.
