Pay Attention.

Today is an important day of my life. I woke up feeling at peace with the world. The weirdest feeling, I promise. But I refuse to get all worked up and kill myself to work at some $8 an hour desk job. It is ridiculous. I need to get into teacher mode, as i will be in the big S in two weeks

Are you moving to Seattle or a suburb? This State is great place to live:)

[stephanierose]

I'm teaching and living in Burien. It's about as close to the city as i can afford.

[fuzzin]

Yeah - I'm familiar with Burien. I used to date a girl who lived up in that area. I live about an hour away from Seattle now (Olympia), but I used to live closer. I'm not much of a city person myself...I tend to like the more rural areas with lots of trees, etc.

So what do you teach? Have you lived in this area before?

[stephanierose]

Olympia is absolutely gorgeous! I've only been to Washington twice: once last October for a Learning disabilities conference, and in april for the Teacher Job Fair (which happened to be during the 10 year anniversary of Kurt Cobains death...whom I still cherish). I've lived in Ohio all my life. The area I come from is a small town where everyone knows everyone. Your purpose in this town is to graduate from high school, get married, and stay there forever. Not me, I live to defy the norm. This will be my first year as a special ed teacher. I got hired as a Reading and Writing teacher.

what do you do?
