Today work continued on as it has for the past week. I am currently working as a teacher assistant in an elementary reading room and as such, work has largely been a lot of testing students and filling out paperwork. My passion for teaching does not include large amounts of paperwork or sitting around with very little to do. I am beginning to yearn to begin teaching my small reading groups. But, I know I must be patient before the real fun starts. I’m just feeling rather worthless there right now, even though I know I shouldn’t. I’m sorry to complain, but this seems like a safe place to do so.

Outside of work, life goes on as quiet as it has been. I am still adjusting to life on my own. Having gone from a house of six, to a dorm hall of over 50, back to the house of six, and now to a house all by myself, I find the need to adjust to a quieter life. I finally got all of my stuff unpacked, which involved finally vanquishing the pile of junk in my living room. Now I look around my clean house wondering what to do next. I need to find some company or get out to enjoy life a little more. I have become something of a hermat and I don’t like it. I go to church every Sunday, but I feel the need to interact more with people and get off my butt. I will be working on that…

So, my dear reader, life goes on in the world of Chris, as exciting as it is. Perhaps you are having more fun and excitement thatn I, or perhaps not. But life must go on for us all…
