First things first, lets see what pictures I can dig up since the last time we talked. The painting operations are finally done! Our kitchen and living area are officially green.
Heather finally painted her room too, and did some crazy paint mixing with the awesome result of a very latin-american-y teal and orange combination.
Hanna's room is lavender and turquoise. I didn't want to take a picture of her messy room (she's crazy busy with school, lets not judge...) so here is a picture of a nice colorful corner.
I also painted the bathroom blue. The only walls in our house that aren't painted now are in the hallway. Hopefully the landlord likes it...So that concludes the colorful tour of our house that's been going on for the last couple blog posts, glad that's over.
We had our roommate bonding adventure last week to go see Mika in Seattle, a singer from the UK who captured our hearts last year and became the soundtrack to our olympia household. I've been to a lot of amazing concerts, but this one was way up there. So epic. Jessie took the first picture because for some reason she got tickets the night before and was in the front row. How obnoxious.
On a more scholarly note, school is wonderful. I'm taking three evening/weekend classes, for a total of 16 credits. Here's the breakdown:Monday 6-10 pm: Toward Becoming a Teacher (4 credits)
Tuesday 5:30 - 9:30: Woodworking (4 credits)
Wednesday: 5:30 - 9:30 pm & all day every other Saturday: Religion and Society (8 credits)
Toward becoming a teacher is amazing and inspiring and I love it. The teacher was a public high school teacher for 30 years with a progressive Evergreen-style outlook on teaching, and he is such a wise guru of education. I don't need to take notes in his class because everything he says goes directly into my soul.
Woodworking is awesome, it's a lot of hands-on bench work with hand tools and power tools and we get to play all evening in the woodshop. We're working on morise and tenon joints right now for the tables we are building. No nails or screws involved. So legit.
Religion and Society is blowing my mind right now, we are studying the histories and doctrines of the three monotheistic Abrahamic faiths, and as a person who has never really studied religion at all, I am feeling very enlightened lately about the world.
I'm also working every day at Avanti high school tutoring math and science, and I love it. It's so nice to be paid (a pretty high wage) for doing something that's relevant to my career, fun, and extremely rewarding! Avanti is a super progressive alternative school that's really interesting to be a part of. More on that later.
My friends in the blogosphere Lila and Amelia have started taking pictures of their workspaces every day and posting them on their blogs, and I want to be just like them so I took one today too. I looked at my desk and realized that it was a pretty accurate representation of my life, so here you go.
Laterzzzzzz
