queso?

At the start of the school term, I acknowledge a sense of familiarity. I am fortunate enough to live where education is provided to all children (the debate on the quality of this education to be posted at a later date), and I have discovered my passion for learning. I am quite excited about where I am right now. There is so much to look forward to! Amidst the familiar sense of working for the same company and the routine of going to class, I feel myself developing and becoming more of my own person. I see the class of '07 in the same position where I was last year. I remember throwing once valued possessions into a little box in exchange for oddly practical items such as a teapot or a toaster.

Somehow, a part of me enjoys the familiarity of routine, as boring as that sounds. I am completely open minded to change, but I find comfort in having at least a general idea of what lies ahead in the next few days. But, as I plan for the rest of my life, there is so much that can happen, so much I haven't seen or can imagine seeing. There is a conundrum of thoughts currently in my head. Heh the beauty of livejournal is the freedom to just write, and

but that is distracting away from whatever point I attempt to make.
But outside of the classroom (or other formal environment) rules shoved down my throat for the last 12+ years can be ignored. But, why would someone want to do a thing like that?

All, well most of my classes are amazingly thought provoking. My world literature and art appreciation teachers are collaborating so the lessons relate to each other. Right now, we are examining the emergence of the written word and the discovery of the first art works. I could go on for days..

Josh's mom is an amazing woman who is currently attending SJSU and just became a Registered Nurse. Yesterday we had a lengthy philosophical conversation that resulted in my excitement with the idea of becoming a teacher. I love learning and keeping an open mind, and I think I can help others get excited as well.

So that's it, I've decided I want to be a teacher! It's a very weird thought that sprouted yesterday, and I need to research what this means for my education.. (well after doing the business homework I am putting off.... heh. I considered a major in business and I realized I just don't like money enough). I feel like I don't have any friends anymore though :(

Now that school's out, I find myself with a lot of time on my hands. Downloading a lot of music/deleting old music seems to occupy me most. Music is amazing, I love relearning my passion for it. Making music may be another story.
This summer is going to be a lot of Work work work. Hopefully this ballet class is not too much of a joke, and I utilize the summer open lab hours to work on a lot of prints.
Its hard to tell if I'm any good at anything. The only thing that matters, I suppose is if I like my work, but I'm filled with doubt. Practice practice practice and hopefully I continue to improve.
Saving money is hard, it seems like that is the only problem I have at the moment. I have to get my radiatior fixed which is going to cost $350. I discovered this when I got my oil changed which cost me $50. The summer lab is $90 not to mention several parking tickets due to my unfortunate place of living and business.
I love the long days though and I love my love! Santa Cruz is really really crowded during the summer for a reason. I want to go back home but I don't know how it's going to be. A week to catch up with everyone and show Josh the best parts of SD? Hopefully all will go well.

A couple days ago, I enjoyed my walk home from downtown SC and Borders

Help! I am lost, and I need to get back onto the path of self discovery.
To: The Reader.
Does that mean myself? Yes. I don't know who else will take the time to read this. It's not very important to other people, I would assume. If what I say is long, boring, or unintelligent, or incorrect, please don't tell me. I know this already. I don't care.

livejournal?! I'm confused on how to work this thing out.
