'all the umbrellas in london'

[morenamuse]

elementary schools smell like locker rooms in this 31°C heat. the kids still ask surprising questions and one eight year old girl does strip-tease sort of dances when I ask them to mimick animals. I'm leaving in less than two weeks now; I'm exhausted, excited, emotional

wow, looks like you've made it! i was thinking of getting myself into a teaching situation but i think i could use your advice. i wanna know if i should sign myself up or get a therapist instead. what do you think? i know this is a crazy impossible question to answer, but did you enjoy it?

yes

no regrets. have you graduated already? if you decide to go for a teaching poste en france, head south. evites la normandie. meme que c'est beau. les gens sont fermés et les hivers durs. but the kids are the best (and worst) part of the job. if you can handle painting faces, you can handle this. but you might want to ask your therapist as well.

p.s. do you still work for clowns?

yes, i still work for the clown pimps. i think this might be my last summer though. it's been getting crazier and not worth the headaches sometimes. i was thinking of trying to get a post in the paris region. i know it's expensive and hectic and i love the city and have some friends there whom i could live with. the south would be nice too though.....gosh, i have so much more to ask you...are you back at school? i'm done and graduated, just working and trying to save money. well, shoot me an email or something michelle.lomeli@gmail, yo. thanks!
