For People like me Netflix is a very bad thing. Last week sometime, I discovered a show called Veronica Mars. After the first episode I was hooked. Blast those cliffhangers! I've basically been watching it nonstop--before bed, when I wake up. When I'm not at home, by my computer, I'm wishing I was so I could watch the next episode, and find out what really happened to Lily Kane. It's gotten to the point where Veronica Mars was in my dream.
This summer I planned on getting caught up on my reading and superseding my (too-low-set) goal for the year. (My goal is 12 books, I was looking forward to reading at least that this summer!) But no, I'm craving Veronica Mars. Before Veronica, I was watching Psych, what can I say I'm a sucker for snarky detectives.
Why am I obsessed with Netflix--I can watch episode after episode without waiting a week, and the perkiest perk of all, no commercials. I've also watched a few movies. So what is a girl like me (a girl who loves movies and tv) to do when Netflix is tempting me? Addictions can be such a waste of time, and so is writing this post.

The Tortoise Went Faster Than This
It's been almost four years since I (officially) graduated from college, three years since I walked, and 2 since I became a credentialed teacher. (It's been seven since I left Thailand.) And now, I am officially a substitute teacher for the Kern High School District! Slow and steady wins the race. Well, this must be a neverending race because the rate I'm going is slower than slow. The tortoise went faster than this, like a bajillion times faster.
I'm thinking in 3 more years I will be a full-time teacher with a salary, benefits, a retirement package and the whole shabang. The most exciting thing about being a teacher is having my own a classroom. A classroom I get to decorate and buy fun organizational stuff for. A room with bookshelves for my ever expanding library--thank you Borders for going out of business and slashing prices dramatically! My own desk with knick-knacks, freshly sharpened pencils and inked-up pens, and a new computer and printer. A mini fridge to store my lunch and my secret stash of chocolate. Neighbors that I can go to lunch with and commiserate over why the educational system is so screwed up, and students that are too-much-to-handle.
Finally feeling accomplished!
