I think sometime soon the world is going to explode. We've been polluting it for years, trashing oceans, cutting down trees, filling the air with crap, messing with the ozone layer. I think the Earth has had enough. It will either destroy us or be destroyed altogether. I kind of think the human race, a definite "parasite" (as it has been called by many smart people), deserves to be destroyed. We've killed off resources and some species of animals altogether. What right do we have? As I go to sleep under the (really, really scary) lightening, I do not feel certain that tomorrow will be the same as today. We can never be certain, especially with the way we're treating our Earth. I do kind of hope it doesn't explode in our lifetime, but our generation, and each one ahead of it, must take responsibility...

so things are winding down.
stacy has gone back 'up north' ;)
sonya/sadaf/matt moving up and away soon. too soon?
But I love mornings like this. I love sweaters and the chance to drink hot tea--but not weird teas with names like 'calm' or 'awake' because what the heck is that? I love not having work and not having school but just needing to read at my own personal lesiure. I sorta want this day to extend far beyond the standard twenty-four hours. Or at least seem like it does. Why is it that all the really crappy days always seem to drag onnnn for an unreasonable amount of time? they should stop that.
Something that I was thinking about when I woke up and was just lying in my bed--haha about 5 minutes ago, was me teaching. Im sure that the few people who read this blog know how I feel about the prospect of teaching, so i wont get into that. But I sorta started looking up TEFL programs the other day, and this morning I imagined (to the best of my poor underdeveloped imagination's ability) what it would be like if I went into teaching. What I would teach, WHERE I would teach, and if, by some odd reason, if I COULD teach. I thought too, that if I were a teaching I would stay away from things like RatemyProfessor--I wouldnt want to know what students had to say about me and the way I would teach because they would just make me feel sad and depressed. It was all very interesting because I had never really given into the notion of being an educator. But thats a whole different story. Anyway, so maybe TEFL but I would want to teach Latin and Greek too--oh, I decided to take Greek next year in addition to Latin. I dont know....maybe I should talk to my Latin profressor about this over coffee and a lifetime. haha :)
