So yeah, I should probably post an update or something. Ya know, with my new job having started and all, plus I don't have anything really irritating or elating to write about, it kind of decreases my posting frequency, which I kind of expected. I have been trying to prep myself by gradually decreasing said frequency by month since May, so neither one of us would be shocked if I somehow ended up posting so infrequently that once a week becomes the high-end of frequentness (yes, frequentness, because I don't want to sound redundant).
I'm working at the elementary school in Cannon Falls (15 miles east of Northfield) as a teacher assistant/mentor of sorts for all the kindergarten classes. I'm basically gonna be the guy I wish I had when I was in kindergarten. So while I'm helping the younger versions of me I will be certain to gain much personal insight from this position, even with all the speed bumps that sure will come my way pretty quickly and often.
I should probably be careful about what I post on here relating to what goes on in school, partly because it's where I work, but also just the whole confidentiality thing with kids, parents, and other school staff members. As whatever goes on in the Cannon Falls Elementary School will at least occasionally be the biggest thing on my mind from time to time, you may see even fewer posts from me over the coming weeks and months. Other things, like the contest of the Blues vs. the Reds (in both baseball and in politics), might come up in this space. Again though, they are rather trivial (as means of human entertainment and/or pain) for me, and therefore I don't plan on writing about them as often as I fear I might. We'll see how that goes.
Let's see, what else: I've been attempting to write another pop/rock-style song, I turned down yet another offer to join a get-rich-quick scheme, and I have been watching my budget so to cover rent, gas, food, and a little ROAD TRIP! Yeah, I'm excited on that last one. I've been wanting to do one so bad for the last 10 years, but said excitement will be tempered by the fact that we've set a strict budget and won't get to do everything that we had originally wanted to do.
I'm in the real world now. And to be honest, I don't think it's weird that I am where I am, mostly because I'm not thinking about it.
