GAMING UPDATE

I beat Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction...twice. Once on normal difficulty, once in Challenge Mode. I found all the Gold Bolts, got the Smuggler to make the RYNO IV for me, and almost got all the Skill Points. It was a really fun and funny game. So much so, that I decided to buy the sequel, A Crack in Time. I'm still waiting for it to come in the mail. After I play through that game, the plan is to finally jump into FFXIII, but I have no idea how much time I might have to play anything soon because...

LIFE UPDATE

...I got calls yesterday for interviews at high schools that have open full-time math positions! It was the craziest thing. I had just about figured that I wasn't going to get any calls at all this August for interviews and that it was going to be another stagnant professional school year for me at the tutoring center (although I do like it there, working there as my sole job does not help me move on in life). Heck, I think I even said as much as I sat in Panera Bread with my mom and brother, having lunch there yesterday. And then, my shorts began to buzz. I wondered who it could be, since Dom had been texting and calling me earlier in the day, wanting to know when we were going to be picking him up and such. It was a random Maryland number. More likely than not, it was a high school calling me! And it was! Interview tomorrow.

When we got home, I looked up the school online and then went on Twitter and Facebook to tweet about the good news. As I'm doing this, I get another call, this time from a high school in Delaware. Interview on Monday. I was freaking out. I was in a state of utter shock. I couldn't believe it!

Now, I'm going to an Adam Lambert concert tonight, so it's going to be kinda crazy to head out to an interview the following morning, but it will be done! Damnit, I'm determined to get a full-time job. I need to start teaching in an actual school!

Now depending on what happens after Monday, I may or not be on Gamespot as much as I have been. Don't cry, but it's the truth. If I get a job, it won't just be my time playing video games that gets cut in spades; my time doing pretty much anything else other than writing lesson plans and grading work will greatly diminish, too. Such is the life of a teacher...until I learn to make it all work.

Well, that's all I got. Wish me luck!!!
