take two...

ahh, so lots of you are thinking, "first off, i wasn't planning on reading this anyway, why are you making another one of these?" well, for a couple of reasons, one is that i had some technical difficulties with the other blog and second, i can do cool stuff on this one that the other wouldn't let me. so tough, this is the actual blog though.

so i went back and read my first post and i don't know who put me up on my high horse over there, but i sure sound like i'm trying to be awful "look how social justicey i am over here," and that is worthless. so, to sum up from my last blog post: i just graduated from auburn and now i am moving to the mississippi delta to teach high school math. why am i doing this? because it sounds pretty cool to me. i get to teach for the next two years in a place that sounds like it needs some people who are excited about teaching some kids. i think the last post came from my ivory tower because i was so tired of getting those "what on earth are you thinking?" looks from people. but i am learning to live with that. what i am doing is not for everybody, but i am becoming convinced that it is where i should be for the next two years. while all the quotes i threw out last time in my first blog post (the first post is on my facebook page if you haven't read it) are no less true or no less pertinent to my reasoning for doing this, i need not be so arrogant as to say that my efforts will have an effect on these "systemic injustices." i can only humbly try, which is what i'm doing.

so there's the scoop on what i am doing for the next two years and why. i will attempt to update this as often as possible with what is going on. for those of you who know me, i tend to rant beyond belief so if you are looking for conciseity, might want to venture on over to another blog. but in an effort to shut up before i talk for an hour, i will end this. for those curious, i head to mississippi june 4th. that is when it all begins, from then til now i'm in savannah and auburn, reading the 1230492309 pages they assigned us and studying for this test i have to take so that i can teach. that's all. sorry about all the blog confusion. peace.
