This morning I finished watching all of the episodes of LOST. I'm now totally caught up and I have something to buy on DVD when I get home (Season 1). The way some things are right there in front of you but you don't always catch them, clues as to interactions between characters, the numbers that I listed above, etc... It's really cool and I want to catch things that I missed the first time around.

I posted a bulletin on myspace to see what everyone thought about my current situation and job options.... My students were the first ones to respond. One of my kids, Maddy was the first to reply back with:

HELLO???????? r u out of ur freakin mind? who would be in charge of newspaper/yearbook. EARTH 2 RYAN GIL DE MONTES. u r the one good teacher at the stupid school. geez.

While it makes me feel good to hear something like that from one of the kids I know it's not true. I'm getting better at teaching but I'm not to THAT point yet. My friend Pete also brought up some interesting points about me even teaching at Ivy Tech if I make that option and decide to jump ship from CA back to IN.

Goals of the day:
1. Finally get my new damn Bears jersey & Cubs jersey.
2. Go bowling with Syd and the rest of her friends that still live in the area.
3. Spend time with the family.

Needless to say things have been going pretty well here. I just wish that I had the opportunity to stay longer so that I could see everyone. Oh well, I can always make plans for June... No way in hell am I coming at the coldest part of winter (Feb). I think that will be a time for me to do something a little different. Maybe go on a trip up the coast of California stopping in every city I've wanted to see and never taken the time to go to.
