Questioning

Do you ever just question everything? Everything you have done? Stupid Slipknot, don't listen to their music. Recommended to me by inmates, nonetheless. God. Turn this shit off.

Crazy student

This is my umpteenth revival of my blog, but this time is for real. haha. like always. I have many more exciting things to focus on now, though. Like my newest crazy student. Like,really crazy. Like not all there, at all. He busted a Michael Jackson dance in the middle of my floor today, and I was actually too impressed to be upset about the distraction. That was some good footwork. He refuses to say "sperm" out loud and pretends he can't read it, even though he just read the words "mitochondria", "endoplasmic reticulum" and even "reproduction" so obviously "sperm" is not so hard to sound out.
In other good news at work, one of learning-to-read guys brought a letter from his ex to read out loud today (good practice for him) and she said "I have to go too the store" and he said "hey that is the wrong "to" because I think it should have only one o in to" and I very nearly cried.

Help!

SO I use the Haloscan commenting thing, well I think I do, not that I ever get my ass on here to write or anything, but I got an email today saying
Haloscan is shutting down Feb 17. Ack! Say I want to actually write my blog. What do I do?

Prison Drama

Last week was a tough one at prison. I got my first subpeona, had to have a three hour long deposition today, and a very, uh, let's say "rude" plot was discovered that would potentially not be fun for me to experience. Blah. I am figuring out a new course for life. The prison will suffice for another couple years, but then I think I will change career paths. I want to be an editor. Not like a newspaper editor, but an actual editor editor, one who edits manuscripts or articles or whatever you want edited. If I miss a comma, no one will want to rape me. Good call. I like sign language too...some career options.

last week of freedom

I start work Monday. I am trying to get as much done on my new house as humanly possible before then. I won't get to move in before work starts, but if I can at least get the place put back together, that would help. Remodeling is more work than you think.

Holy God it is hotter than Hell

Well I almost died of heatstroke in Rome today, it was around a hundred and this Alaska girl likes the beach and sun but that is too much for me! I saw the Colosseum and Roman Forum, the Vatican for the third time, the Papal tombs and Pop John Pauls burial place, which was neat since last time I was here, I saw his green, dead body layed out, and attended high mass in Latin in the Vatican! How cool is that! Couldnt understand a word but I figure God might love me more for going to mass in the Holy City...off to home tomorrow, and I am ready. I want to do laundry. I think I smell.

Revived from Europe

If anyone reads this or checks it, tell me so I dont waste my time. I have not posted since Jan 27th apparently, that is like 8 months, so I would not be surprised if I have NO ONE. I thought it would be appropriate to update my blog while in the city of its birth, Florence. I flew over here, well, to Venice, the 17th and 18th. Sage and I travelled to Croatia next and spent three days there. We then spent another day in Venice and on the train for 7 hours going to Vienna, Austria. We left Vienna last night, trained all night and I got to Florence today. I will be here for two days, it is Thursday at 130 right now and I will leave sometime Saturday to train to Rome, where I will sightsee til my flight home Monday. Sage left for school today so I am officially on my own travelling.
