i can't believe it's june already! that means i'm very close to being 1 year older, which sounds funny, but you know what i mean.
i think i've finally decided what i want to do with my life. getting there is another story. i've realized that research and lab work really isn't me. i'm the type of person that likes to be social. i like having people around me to talk to. lab work wouldn't do it. i mean, i really enjoy the science behind it all, but i wouldn't enjoy it. you know what i mean?
i've decided to go into teaching. i'm looking into different options of schooling or different programs to teach and get my degree at the same time. i think it's more practical and more suited for me. i want to teach secondary ed science; most likely biology. i started applying to this program for inner-city schools in new york that gets you teaching right away, training, and your master's degree. i really hope i can get into this program or a program like it because it would save a lot of time and money.
i haven't talked to my parents yet because they've been away for 2 weeks now. man, it's really been lonely at home without them. as much as i complain about some of the things they do, it's just not the same without them. i actually get a little nervous and scared when i lock up for the night. all the lights are off and there's not a sound! i'm always afraid that i'm going to turn the corner of the hallway into my room and someone's going to be there with a bat ready to knock me out. i'm getting the shivers just thinking about it. anyways, i'm pretty sure my parents will be supportive. they've always known that i've been the teacher-type. i just hope that my wishy-washy thinking won't be an issue. (because it has been in the past).
in other news, i'm addicted to my new wii. i can't stop playing. i play A LOT! i just bought a new game: mario & sonic at the olympics. it's so much fun! it really gives you an arm work out. it's my excuse for not being very active. haha. when my parents get home, i won't be able to play as much. so, i'll have to find other things to do while i'm home.

COOOOOOOOOOOL! teaching in the inner city!! If you do a good job, they will even make a movie of you. Maybe they can get Edison Chen to play the part!! (I just said that, cause he is the only good looking Chinese actor that came to my mind). Josh, I think you will be a great teacher, congrats on figuring out what to do!!
