Dear mom and dad,

it was my day off and i spent some time sort of organizing myself for my classes. i made a folder for each class, with a roster so i can keep track of who's doing homework and such. leah said, "Youre doing that on your day off?!" shocked b/c i wouldnt be getting paid for it. many teachers are adamant about keeping work AT work, and hey more power to them, but im a new kid on the block! i know that by getting a little more organized, i can cut time elsewhere and make less work for the rest of this term.

it's so interesting, i feel like im the only one that came here for the job and not the money (tho i sure do look forward to that first payday). i remember speaking to john, an administrative guy at cdi, and asked him about how busy he gets (he is the one responsible for finding housing for every new employee). he said it really wast too bad b/c he only has to do it 3-4 times a year since each cdi term is 3 months long. he said summer is busiest b/c that's when they get the most applicant and hire the most people, "You know, b/c people are just graduating and dont know what they want to do yet, or they didnt get the job they wanted." i smiled inside b/c this IS the job that i wanted... :)

the kids were so friggin cute yesterday. this one little boy Richard tried to trick me by showing me last weeks work when i was doing "homework check." when i figured it out a few minutes later and asked him, he didnt understand, or pretended not to. but then i laughed and said something like, "richard, you did not do your homework and youre trying to trick your teacher!" he started smiling and laughing and saying, "no, no!" i told him that THAT is why he was laughing. it was too cute. he finished his work by the end of class day, i made sure. everyday i learn a little something about a different student, i like them all, they're a pleasure to teach.

did dave get mom a new cell phone? i tried to send him a text message from my cell phone (it's supposed to be way cheaper than calling) but i dont know if he got it, im not sure i sent it right. well, please give my regards and sincerest apologies to Mr. Hector GOMEZ. ~sha.
