Well, it's a lazy Sunday afternoon here. This morning Kat and I met Amos at church, then we all came back to my apartment, talked for a while, and had smoothies. Kat headed off to hang out with Jess, and Amos and I had lunch. Amos went home for a nap (he's working an overnight shift tonight), and the Michelles and I watched a movie and took naps on our couches. :) The Michelles are still sleeping, but I'm writing a blog post and listening to some Michael Buble' through my headphones. I've found that I like listening to music through my headphones sometimes; the sound is fuller than when I just play music from my computer speakers. Maybe I should borrow Amos' really nice, Sony headphones sometime... ;) I also just realized that if I use my headphones, I can listen to a song as many times as I want to without driving my roommates crazy! (Hmmmmm, I think this is the twelfth time I've listened to this song? Or maybe the thirteenth?)
The picture above is from a few nights ago. It's been hot here in SoCal, but we had huge, beautiful white clouds for about a week. In the last few days we've also had random showers and thunderstorms. Unfortunately I missed the thunderstorms; they happened around 3:00 in the morning, so maybe it's good I missed them! I loved the clouds, though.
I'm finished with my consistent subbing now. My last day of testing was on Thursday, and then I had a regular sub job on Friday. I talked to a long-term substitute teacher on Friday and got some good ideas for how to get more sub jobs and/or a long-term sub job, so I have to implement those ideas now! I'm so thankful that I got to do CELDT testing for a month! Out of the last twenty-fours days I was available to sub either as a CELDT tester or as a regular sub, I actually worked twenty-one!!! I also just finished teaching a three-hour SAT class on Saturdays. I hope my students do well next Saturday when they take the test. Wow, I have been busy! Please pray that I'll continue to get work in the coming months. Right now the only fersure (like my new word?!) job I have is two hours of tutoring per week. However, I am getting paid in a week for my sub jobs and then in two weeks for my previous tutoring.
In other news, I'm headed home on Thursday to get a haircut and to watch the little kids for a few days. Mom and Dad need a break and are paying for my plane ticket home for the weekend. I'm glad I get to fly up because I'd much rather spend an hour in a plane than six hours in a car! Yes, I will be driving a minivan, making dinner, hanging out with my cute brothers and sisters, recording hilarious quotes, making sure everyone gets to church on time, and cleaning for a few days. We'll see how that goes.
While I'm gone, Amos is going on a mission trip to Mexico! A team from our church is headed south of the border to build a house for a poor family. The house was constructed in pieces yesterday and will be carted down and assembled by a crew from our church. Amos is one of three or four guys going, so hopefully there are some burly women going, too!
Anyway, that's just a little bit of what has been going on down here.
Life is hard at times, but God is good.
Update: The music sounds REALLY good in Amos' headphones. :)
