First Day Down

The first day of testing is over and...
I feel pretty confident. My math was slightly troublesome and then I went back later in the day to go over some of my work. When I finished this second time, doubling back, the guilty conscience I had that maybe I was rushing to finish drifted away. It was really a feeling of relief.
I didn't have a second period exam, so at the end of the day during this class we had pizza and ice cream! It was a nice change to have, but it made my stomach feel so so full. My teacher spoke with me about college though and career options. It was really interesting and we both agreed on some of the same points. He asked me what I wanted to do in college and my feelings on the uses of history which I had ready (because it was an informal assignment due today though no one seemed to do it). We agreed on these as well and his main points included that history is also the "past" of the people you meet and when you learn of their past you become more sympathetic towards them.
So, his approach was more humanistic than some of my literal points but we both agreed. Today I have felt many times that I know I really want to teach. I want to teach children and I think I have some of the qualities to make it a sucessful career. I really enjoy learning myself and teaching or explaining things. I also believe I am rather patient and willing to listen to both sides of the story.
I hope that in the future these qualities can help me and I hope I am not being too selfish or introverted. So, I have this strong feeling of wanting to teach and next year for my senior project I think I will job shadow one of the teachers...

It was really good and the wine makes me sleepy, so I only drink it slowly. I mean it completely puts me to sleep most of the time. (______)
I spoke to my mom today about working with her and exactly when I could get started. I wouldn't actually work with her and of course I would be interviewed alone. Apparently they are very short handed and my mom said she wouldn't be surprised if I had a lot of work this summer.
The problem is, obtaining my 75 volunteer hours or so, I still need. I only have about 7 as it is, so, my mom is worried I wont be able to work as well as do the community service. I know that things will somehow work out though. Basicly, I think I am going to apply when school lets out. She was still me about the equipment and the training, then also that the job is all based on how quick you can scan and count the numbers. I feel pretty confident, I'm not good in math but I know all my times tables and she said it is math like that. Sometimes rows and piles stacked up, while you using your times tables so you don't have to sort it all out.
That is the simple way to put it (laugh). I am very excited for it still and interested as well.
Today I have had a lot of time to study Japanese and it's all about the counters. There are so many! It is somewhat daunting but defenitely not impossible. I think I might post a blog eventually about what I have been looking at to retype and help better memorize some of it.
For now, I feel pretty sleepy so I might nap for a half an hour. Tomorrow I have two very easy exams so I am not worried.
The only other thought on my mind is Shou's health. I hope she gets better soon.

So, you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
You learn that you really can endure,
that you really are strong, and you really do have worth.
You learn and learn, with every goodbye you learn.
Scream your name
Your thoughts, and your cries. Be nice.
Tagboard here, I like shoutmix.com. It can be 100% in width, the height you can put it as whatever. Best if the style is "wide"
