im sore and achey
Yesterday, I played in my first softball game...and scored! Except now, my body's completely sore because I'm completely out of shape. I played with Karl and his co-workers, so I'm glad I didn't embarrass him too badly.It's been so hard for me to read a book this summer. The only things I've read so far are these: two issues of eF, two issues of In Style, half of Shopaholic and Sister, and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. The last two are books, but I would hardly call them great works of literature. I love Victorian novels to death, but trying to get through Mansfield Park while it's bright and gorgeous outside is about as impossible as walking to and from class in 4-inch heels (I've tried and had to make a pit stop back at the dorm because the campus is uneven and stoney).
Oh! I also took the practice GRE test and got an 800 both times on the math portion. I'm a bit ashamed of my verbal score, but there are just too many vocabulary words to memorize. I keep getting "pernicious," "impecunious," and "penurious" mixed up. I've even started making retarded sentences: Sally the student was solicitous in science class.
I think part of me wouldn't mind going into education, but just after a summer of nonstop teaching, I've realized that I'd get bored of it eventually. Sure, the kids are great, but I always feel so limited. There's a set amount of material that needs to be taught, and I don't have a choice but to teach it. I suppose it's the same way with any job, but I'd like at least a little more creativity.
I need to make a resume at some point, but I have no idea how to get started. There also isn't very much for me to put on there because I'm too lazy to go out and intern. Instead, I do what I like: teach, make money, splurge. I know I can't live my entire life this way, but I still feel like it's too early to get myself caught up in a "real job." That'll mean I've grown up, and that's completely unacceptable.

I'm sore too! But from going to capoeira for the first time in a month. Also, I don't want to grow up either. I think I'll just move to Thailand and become a soap opera star...but first, my skin needs to get lightened about 5 times. and I probably have to lose about 20 lbs to look half as good as the "natives".
