Big big big big news for those of you who haven't already heard it - I have been hired on as a full time teacher at a high school down here. It's an English teacher position, don't know what grade yet, but school starts on August 23rd so I'm getting pretty nervous about the whole thing.

As excited as I am about this whole teaching position, I have to admit my summer has been realy weird for me mentally... I've gone through long periods of melancholy and long periods f celebration and am having a rough time finding a middle. I'm coming off the end of one of my moody streaks. Honestly, even though I have two roommates and a girlfriend, I think I've just been really lonely. Sounds stupid, but now that college is over and done, my close friends have all moved away, and I haven't really seen the Reds all summer long. The people who know me best are in short supply right now. (Other than Alli.) Anyway, if you're one of my close friends who reads this - I miss you guys. And not in a gay way either.
