30th January, 2002. 6:48 pm. High School...

Today was my first day working in the high school Physics classes over at Santa Ana High School. Quite interesting experience, might I say. The teacher, Dr. Reynolds, said the school population is 65% hispanic, but from the three classes I worked with, it was like 98% hispanic. There was one African American, and one White, assuming he's white and not fair skin hispanic. I worked with a freshman Physical Science class, who was so energetic! But Dr. Reynolds fed from their energy and used it in their learning. He kept giving them things to think about or do. He would throw out a question and call on people to give answer for extra points. They were so eager to answer. His Physics class was also very energetic and enthusiastic about Physics. Yay, Physics! Then we have the Honors Physics, who's mellow compared to the other two classes. It was much more difficult to get them to participate, but from what he said, they're way better than his morning Honors Physics class, which I don't go to cuz it's way early (8am!). But they're supposedly just zombies... I would be too!

He asked me to take one of the subjects and teach it. As an apprentice, I guess I'm suppose to try teaching when I can, but it's a bit intimidating cuz he's one of those guys who thinks he's right and his way is the best. It's also scary because I don't know how the students will respond to me. Just scared that I won't be interesting enough or know my stuff well enough. We'll see... if I do, I'll most likely be taking centripital motion Friday.

I gotta study! I talked to Martin last night about grad school, and I got all this info and connection. Past HA's here he used to supervise a long time ago are now working in housing, and some do the hiring for certain positions. So Martin was just thinking of all the places i could work at while going to grad school and stuff. I just need to look into when I need to take the GRE by. Darn, I thought I wouldn't be taking anymore standarized test. Oh well... So like Jonathan keeps nagging me about, instead of worrying about what needs to be done in the future, I need to just worry about what's underneath my nose, like homework. =P So I'll go study now... even though I want to go to Target to get earplugs and whatever else I need, but I'll pass.

Current mood: hopeful.

30th January, 2002. 9:45 pm. "yeah, I love you too"

I just got off the phone with my mom. It's been awhile since we talked. I didn't go home this weekend, and I kept missing her calls. We had a nice conversation and she will be visiting me two weekends later. Actually, she was going to an orchid show at South Coast Plaza, and I told her to stop by... but anyhow, I'm excited. She hasn't seen my room at all yet this year. Hopefully, we'll get to hang out and it won't be like in the past where she would come visit at me at Chem house just to bring me food and go home. But since there's an orcid show in the mall, we'll get to walk around the mall and maybe have dinner before she leaves. Always makes me sad when they leave though. I don't deal with good-byes well, that's why I have a hard time living in two places, cuz it's always involving saying good bye to Jonathan and my parents. I'm writing my essay, and I need to finish, so I'll just get to the point. At the end of the conversaition, I told her I love her, and instead of the typical response "okay", she said "yeah, I love you too". She shocked me and I didn't know what to say, so I gave the "okay" response this time! okay, gotta finish up.

Current mood: giddy.
