Time for my monthly post again...I have taken this month off of school, and will likely take some extension classes at UCLA as two of the classes I need are wayyyy cheaper there. I also have to sign up for the CSET test next month. It's a new test they give to teachers and it tests them on their subject matter knowledge. I already took one of these about 7 years ago and now with No Child Left Behind, they have changed all their damn tests. Of course, I usually test well so I am not worried, but they focus on each subject that a social studies teacher would teach. So a whole subtest on economics doesn't sound good to me. But eh whatever they want to do is fine by me.
I still don't know which path I will eventually take, but either way it will work out. I'd just really like to be set on one path and stick to it so I can buy a home and build a life for myself. Nothing fancy, just a small old home with character that I can fix up and enjoy being in. Like a 1930's/1940's Craftsman style near the beach. Ah that would be perfect if even the rundown ones didn't go for nearly $1 million or more. Of course I could always choose to go live in the desert somewhere for next to nothing, but that would mean living in the desert. And after 3 years of Fresno, that just isn't going to happen.

Of course I could just sell all my worldly possessions and move to some tropical island somewhere and just live out my days in peace and serenity. With more money that would make it more fun, island girls to feed me pineapple and mangos as I lay in my hammock on some white sandy beach overlooking crystal blue lagoon. That would be a very nice way to spend my days. Until global warming causes the ice caps to melt and we all get washed away. In which case I might be smart to buy up that desert property now, before it becomes expensive ocean front property.
