Oh, also!

Yesterday the guy I'm digging gave me a call. Well, returned my call anyway, and we had a pretty cool conversation. The charity group he's with is kind of amazing and they're touring around the country in cars, vans and buses, things like that. Which is quite neat! I don't think I could do that for so long. I'd get homesick.

So that's the update on that.

First midterm tomorrow. WTF.

Also, another strange thing happened yesterday and I'm still confused and wondering about it. My favorite high school teacher emailed me out of the blue and said, "Are you there?" I said, Sure I was, wassup? Because I mean, like, high school, that's a damn long time ago, although I did track him down two years ago and email him to thank him for involving me in science back then and getting me started down this track. He's amazing, BTW. Then he wrote back and just said, "Let me know what's going on in your corner of the universe."

Which I am glad to do, and really quite thrilled to hear from him.

It's weird, because at work on Saturday, I ran into a guy I went to school with, and he was one of the, maybe three people who was really cool to me. Actually what you'd consider a friend, now that I'm thinking of it.

But still, how random, right? I wonder if anything's up? I should really stop thinking the worst in every case. I was going to Act Casual, and expect the best, and be an optimist, remember? Yes, so that's what I'm going to do.

Hi Kapunua:)

How wonderful that your favourite teacher contacted you. Do you know what, I think that he's really proud of you, proud that you've gone back to college and pursued your love of Science.
I've often thought that you'd be a fantastic teacher K. You have such enthusiasm and I'm sure kids would love to be taught by you.


Anyway hope everything's wonderful in your world.

Take care.

Welshie.

Hiya Welshie, and thanks so much. I used to want to be a teacher and I considered it, but now I'm glad I didn't because there are no jobs for teachers around here. Or really, anywhere anymore. Very sad.

Good to read you! Thanks always for stopping by to say hello. :)

Wow, small world K. That's so cool that your teacher got in touch. You know, my fave teacher wrote me a reference that got me into Uni and when he heard I was doing Egyptology he said "I always knew you'd do something different" and I loved him for that.

Good teachers can change your life.
