Yesterday I saw "Sweeny Todd" at the cheapie theatre with Jonathan, Cliff, and Kenny. The movie, while enjoyable at a discounted rate of $1.25 a ticket, can best be summed up by this quote:
It's a Hot Topic rendition of the 19th century.

After the movie, we went to Cici's pizza. Now, I was already feeling a mild, annoying headache coming on. But I drank a litre of water once we arrive there and felt better.
Until I got on the subject of teachers. At the beginning of this conversation, I felt recovered from my headache.
But then I thought about my two friends who have the spirit and determination to not only get a degree in education but go forth and walk the walk.
I became irate.
They will make so little and then take a good chunk of what they are making and spend it on supplies for their classroom.
Not to mention the hours they will spend before the work day, after the work day, on weekends and holidays.
Just to make certain they are prepared to mold the future of the United States.
And then I think about celebrities, famous for what? Being famous? And they make so much money per month, more than they know what to do with. So they go buy silly materialistic things and go on grand vacations and complain about how hard it is to be famous.
And then my head hurt so badly, I wanted to throw up.
I had given myself a migraine. It raged on for the next six hours. (A short one, I feel lucky. I've had some that lasted over three weeks before.)
---------------
But seriously, on the topic of teachers.
I'm jealous, I don't have that kind of passion. I want that kind of passion.
And it doesn't even have to be specifically teaching.
I'm tired of taking positions for money and not for contribution. I want to have passion for what I do. I want a job that is useful, that honestly contributes. I want to die knowing that I helped,and didn't spend my time on this earth feeding my insecure ego.
(The obvious answer seems to be, "Christin, look into teaching.". I have been told by quite a few I should consider this avenue.
There is a downside.
I don't like children. And it shows.
I'm ornery, sarcastic, critical, and cynical. I'm pretty much Red Foreman from the television series "That 70's Show". Only I am able to filter what comes out of my mouth.)
