I drink too much water...

Is that even possible? I find that drinking water helps me to not eat like such an over-indulgent fatty fat fat. If you care to know its not working. Although the side effects can be pretty intense. (talk about pee) It is summertime ladies and gentlemen! My first summer as a school teacher. My goodness! There are no words to prepare someone for how awesome it is knowing that you could potentially have summers off for the rest of your life. It is relaxing. I should be using my time more efficiently. I should be preparing the heck out of my lessons for next year, but ya know what? I'm young and dumb and I just want to chill for a moment (ahem..*cough* or a month *cough*)

My first year teaching was a great success! There were no major pitfalls, there was lots of learning, and I feel like I accomplished a great deal. Its rather strange to think that it has been a year already. Seems like only yesterday I was sitting in my newly rented apartment, staring at my gob of keys, and wondering to myself, secretly of course: What the hell have I done? Little did I know that I had made one of the best decisions of my life. I have grown so much. I have learned how to run a theatre program and I feel that I can do it well. I directed the musical You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown and a student written adaptation of Charlotte's Web. If you must know they were both so wonderful and I cannot express the quality of talent I have in my program! I have been a plethora of new friends, and I have developed as a teacher and as a professional. I can't wait for another year of laughter, tears, growth, and making a big-people's salary (woot).

I should try and keep up on this whole blogging thing. However, that effort is thwarted by a serious lack of anything worth saying.

EGOCENTRIC PASSAGE ALERT: I have been staying at my parents house for the past month, I have been getting paid to just hang out and have a summer, I want to travel a lot still and visit people, and I bought a new guitar. I am quite possibly one of the coolest people alive.

WARNING. THE FOLLOWING HAS THE APPEARANCE OF BEING A DEEP THOUGHT.

Do you think that women are lying their faces off when they say that confidence is everything? For example, it has been said in multiple magazines, which I firmly believe are the same publication cleverly rearranged and published under different titles, that all men have to do to "get the girl" is be confident. I think that is just a bunch of jib-jab. Are you telling me in order for me to get that good looking girl across the restaurant to let me telephonically reach her, all I have to do is act like I am a complete boss? I don't feel like that will work. I feel that, as men, we are operating under some shaky intel. But hey, I could be wrong.

So..that is life up to this point. I can't complain, but things could always be better. Perhaps in the upcoming months they plan to be just that. One could only hope.
