Only a few more days until the kids go on spring break...then its only a few more days of work for us...then I go on spring break. Pretty stoked. It looks like I am going to get some time on the AT finally and the weather is going to be amazing!
for some reason I have that Gloria song stuck in my head...that one from the '80s.
I feel like working at this school is a cartoon, where the boat is sinking and I am plugging the holes, and then another one appears, and then I plug it, and eventually there are too many holes to plug. Its like putting a band-aid on the left arm when the right arm is the one thats injured, and it has been torn completely from the body. But enough of me being negative...I think someday I am going to teach at a Title I school...as soon as I get rich elsewhere and dont need to worry about money.
I shaved my head last night. It feels really good. I am thinking that it might be time to close the mohawk chapter of DAlen's life. My head feels so much less warm now to. I used the number 1 guard...meaning its super short. Everyone is super shocked. Of course, come winter I might miss it and grow it back out again...especially if I end up working with fire as a means of employment. It looks like I need more environmental background.
My Team Leader Interview was last week. It reminded me a lot of my RA interviews...which statistically speaking is a bad thing. Of course, I felt pretty good about it.
Did I mention I'll be hiking some of the AT soon? yeah....i'm excited.
and then we will be doing DR, although it no longer stands for Disaster Relief. Now its Disaster Recovery...ironic that they change the name, even though the work and the acronym stay the same.
Love y'all...LEAVE COMMENTS!!!! I miss my homes.

So you're going to hike the AT? Sounds really cool. I'm not sure I'm up for it though. I hiked about 9 miles last weekend in Kings Mountain State Park and was pretty wiped.
Have Fun!

Hey man, I know what you mean about plugging holes. I have what is sadly the wildly optimistic goal of getting 10% of my students to pass the national math exam. Of course, it's much more frustrating in places where the standards should be higher. I actually have a school that is well above average for Tanzania. I think it would be really interesting to compare notes when I return. Have fun hiking.
