I am happy because I got a phone call this morning at 9 am asking me to work all 4 hours at Sylvan, as opposed to my usual 2, and I jumped at the opportunity. After I hung up I felt happy. And for the first time I realized that I am definately in the career I want to be in. Not only do I love teaching, I also can’t wait to start. This was a big moment for me. To KNOW for certain that you are going to be happy in your career is a very good thing to know. I feel almost relieved in a sense. This is what I want to do.
What is kind of funny is that I would watch the Sylvan Learning Center commercials on TV, and the commercial would state that the teachers who work there: “Just Love Teaching!”. Up until today I can honestly tell you I thought that line was a joke. I always just assumed it was just another job, a way to make money, and I am sure I am not the only one who felt that way. But I can tell you now, that the line in the commercial isn’t as cheesy as it sounds. I work at Slyvan Learning Center. I teach Math, and I do it because I love teaching.
I also made my lunch today. This is a new thing. I am eating a tuna sub, I MADE at home, a tiny bag of chips and some cottage cheese (snack size or better known as the “Greatest Invention Ever!”). But since it was such a good day I had to stop off at burger king to get my self a reward. yes, sitting next to the keyboard is my icee. (Stephanie takes a break from typing and takes a sip)
For those of you who have not yet visited thecomfortablegirl.com, you have insulted me. Go there now, look around, and bookmark it. If you are a girl, or a guy, I want your suggestions, ideas, thoughts about it. I am having a lot of fun with it and it would be nice to know that I not doing it solely for Savanna’s amusement.
I was talking with a friend yesterday, and one conversation we had stuck out in my mind. The names have been changed to protect the innocent (I always wanted to say that, the real reason the names have been changed are just because I feel like it - but if you are clever enough you can guess who it might be, that is, if you know me peronsally). I will give you one hint though. You hint is “Book Two”.
Sam Pithe: “Do you ever think life is boring? The whole routine of it sometimes… Everyday is somewhat like the day before…”
Ed Mavia: “I think life is more boring for you in some ways. You are in a relationship. Everyday you wake up knowing someone loves you, and you know you might see that person. You know that probably this weekend the two of you will get together, watch a movie, or go out…”
Ed Mavia: “For me, I wake everyday not knowing what to expect. I wake up every morning thinking that today I might meet the person I could spend the rest of my life with… That’s not boring.”
Sam Pithe: “So, we are just talking about relationships right now. But think of everything else we could experience in a day. We could meet the most influential person in our lives. Something could happen that would change our lives forever. A tragedy, something wonderful, or simply something different…”
Ed Mavia: “Life doesn’t seem so boring after all…”
Sam Pithe: “No…”
So… Noel I was wondering if you could make my site pretty. Or at least prettier… I was also wondering why I cannot “float” an image to the left or right. I think I figured it out myself though, is it because I don’t have textile linked up to my website? Because it looks the same as comfortable girl, but I can’t do those neat little tricks. I am not liking not getting to italicize something just by using the “_” thingy. I had a cute picture of the snack size containers of cottage cheese when I ran into my problem. And the picture looked stupid just sitting there in the middle of the page. So I removed it immediately. I was also wondering if you could change the background color. I would like mint green. You don’t have to spend any time making it as pretty as comfortable girl, just change the background color, that’s easy, right? I wish I knew how to do that.
Other things I want changed (WHEN YOU HAVE TIME, NOT TODAY!)
1. The font size. Needs to be smaller. It’s huge!
2. The logo, needs to be different. Any font will do. If you want me to chose the font I will chose your favorite one. I would like my logo to be in the font: Comic Sans, lol, or was it the Zapf one you hate? Either one of those would look fine, ANYTHING is better than what is there now…
3. I will PAY you to do the color change font thingy for comfortable girl.
4. The textile thingy added.
Well I think that is enough “thingys” for noel to hate me for, so I am done now. I also think I am done updating.
My orignal plan today was to add in a whole bunch of pictures to make my site look pretty, but I have been spoiled with using textile, and am now against putting up any pictures that arn’t able to float this way and that. If you are not Noel, or familiar with websites, you will have no idea what I am talking about. So therefore the above 3 paragraphs are just for Noel, and I apologize for those of you who spent you time reading them.
This is all for today. Goodbye.
Stephanie
you could just have emailed me what you want done to your site, ya know? well maybe not. anyways, you don’t have to pay me you weirdo, just tell me what you want. aren’t I your significant other? you keep talking about this “color chaning thingy” but don’t tell me what colors you want or anything. I thought you wanted CG to be pink, right? Leavesrustle works better with different colors, cause it’s just white, it’d be superfluous with pink. but just tell me what colors you want and stuff and I’ll do it. I’ve been real busy lately so, sorry.
Jersey Giant rocks.
Ok…I’ll admitt it too…I have been reading your journal too just to make sure! LOL I can’t wait till next year..and I can’t believe you found lights with batteries. It will save a lot of money! hehe I’ll talk to you later (we all need to go to potbellys soon
) bye
Just so you all know, Rachel was a sexy construction worker for halloween. And boy, could she work.
jk
Why must it be stated that Rachel was a sexy constructon worker??? Did Noel forget to mention that there was also a sexy pirate!?!?! I WAS A SEXY PIRATE!!! There was also a sexy Alias chick. Yeah. What about them??? I’m sexy, damnit!!!!
Yes, Noel, I am going to have to agree with Savanna in being a bit unhappy about your comment left involving Rachel’s hotness (no offense to Rachel of course), but still, the question remains: “Did Noel think I looked good?” Apparently not. “Did Noel think Savanna was one sexy chick with three nipples?” Apparently not as well. Noel we are offended, simply put.
Well, see, I didn’t want to have to divulge my fantasies… but you’re going to make me, aren’t you? The alias chick, who was by far the hottest girl there, and the Sexy Pirate, who was quite Sexy (as her costume would not allow otherwise) were all a boy like me could dream of. Aside from the alias chick, who I couldn’t figure out who it was, The Sexy Pirate made my world come true: she had three nipples. Who wouldn’t want three niples?
I was just trying to make rachel feel better. Because you can tell she worked hard to dress provocatively, but the truth is that doesn’t compete with sexy red hair or three nipples.
(rachel, I’m lying to them too, I swear, you really were the sexiest.) In fact, Rachel, all I could think was “Damn, that girl’s FIT!” (not fit, as in fit, although that’s not NOT the case, but FIT as in HOT, but how the europeans say it.)
If you are rachel don’t read below here…
———————-
So now that we are alone girls. Savanna, you were HOT, and if I were allowed to I’d have a crush on you. But, Stephanie, you know I have a crush on you, and since you were dressed up as The Alias Chick, I’d have to say that you were by far the Sexiest out of them all. Sorry Savanna.
IF YOU ARE STEPHANIE DON’T READ BELOW HERE…
____________________________________________
(But seriously Savanna, you and your nipples and I will have a talk and we’ll get this all straightened out. You were the sexiest.)
(think to myself: god I’d be really bad if I had three girlfriends and tried to hide them all from each other.)
Whoa Noel……you are getting youself in a lot of trouble. We were all hott at that party. I remember thinking to myself Man….I get to live with a sexy pirate and a sexy Alias chick. I am the luckiest woman alive. But thank you Noel for thinking I was “fit”. But Noel you can’t have the best of all three worlds. LOL Oh and I’d like to know how did this whole convo start anyhow? lol Weird.
