Well, it has been a little over six months since I quit school. I am more relaxed than I have ever been in a sense, but also really stressed out. It's wonderful not having classes, homework, labwork, teaching, and all that to deal with. It's also great not feeling stupid all the time. But it's not such a great feeling when I think that my life is lacking purpose and direction. For some reason I think finding a job will clear a lot of that up, but I don't know for certain.
Today I'm going down to the Stockton Unified School District Police Department to get fingerprinted... again. Becoming a substitute teacher is a much longer process than I had anticipated, and is rather complex. I've taken the CBEST, got fingerprinted at a livescan place, copied the forms, and sent them in. But it turns out there's a ton of other stuff I have to do for the school district, which includes getting fingerprinted... Blah!
I've also been looking for jobs, and I applied to a few yesterday and hope to find more today, but that's proving difficult as well. I think I picked the wrong major...
As for other stuff - On Sunday I'm going to visit Angie, so that will be great. Not sure what we're going to be doing, but doesn't really matter. I know I'll have a good time. Am also debating with myself about what to do with my hair - I dyed it a few months ago, the roots grew in, so I dyed it again last month and now the roots are growing in again. I can't decide if I want to dye my hair as close to its natural color as possible (so the roots won't be as obvious) or just cut it all off and start again. Both solutions have pitfalls, I'm just trying to figure out the best way to solve the problem.
Anyway... that's all.
