One of my students said that she wants to name her new kitty Michael Jackson. XD Cutest part of today, so far.

I saw a trailer for a new Matthew Goode movie (Leap Year) last week and I haven't been able to stop thinking about him. Remember when I couldn't shut up about him last Spring? Yeeah. I put Watchmen on my Christmas list, but I think he's much better looking in other movies/real life with his real hair and real sexy beard.

I have a thing for beards. Have you noticed this?

But, so, anyway, speaking of Matthew Goode trailers, I finally looked this one up on YouTube, and oh. my god. It's an amazingly edited trailer. ♥ I can't wait to see this. Hopefully it will be good. The trailer already makes my heart hurt.



Besides Matthew Goode stuff now... I saw Cate Blanchett as Blanche DuBois in the Sydney Theatre production of A Streetcar Named Desire last night. It was amazing. That part was made for her. ♥ I love my some Cate Blanchett (and not just because of Galadriel).

My favorite line: I'm looking for the Pleiades, the Seven Sisters...but these girls aren't out tonight. Yes, they are! There they are, God bless them. All in a bunch going home from their little bridge party.

I think I'm watching Rushmore tonight, if my sister ever comes home.

Three things!

1. I HAVE A JOB!!! I am now a tutor for a Saturday morning, in-school tutoring program. I help teach kindergarteners to read. :) It's only two hours per week, $20 an hour, but it's great for experience and for my resume. Not to mention FUN and tear-inducing because the kids are SO. CUTE.

2. I'm still somehow managing to keep up with the NaNoWriMo daily goals. And I have a widget for my progress now! (I posted it on my profile, too, because I don't want to annoy you with this every time I make an entry. XD )



3. I'm thinking of trying to play with The Sims 2 again. I'm insane. Every time I install it, I play for a while, get frustrated/bored and uninstall it. XD But we'll see how this goes. I gave myself a goal this time, at least.

I think I made one of the most important decisions of my life tonight.

I am going to be a teacher. An elementary, K-3 teacher. Of children.

There's a nearby university that offers a one-year Master's program in Education. I am going to enroll as soon as I have enough to pay for it. I need to email three of my professors (my three favorites, no doubt) and also JMU because I need two copies of my transcript. My GPA is a teensy bit less than 3.0 due to me being a theatre major the first two years and not knowing what the HELL I was doing in that department. But they'll probably wave it because it improved and I had good grades in the important subjects. AND my chosen three professors loved me.

I don't know how soon this will occur, but I'm so excited about it. I'm hoping to get a job as a receptionist or something in a school's office until I get my teaching certificate. But cross your fingers for me, okay?

I ♥ CHILDREN.

Oh, and if you are or have been a teacher, any advice you can give me would be amazing.

I went and saw Kathy & Jamie sing in this multi-cultural variety show this evening. And, behind me, there were about six, tiny, no more than 5-year-old adopted Chinese girls. And my face was like ♥ ^______^ ♥ the entire time.

I love children. Love love. Love.
