breakin the law breakin the law

man i hate that song.

so i'm breaking the americorps rules (and unintelligently posting this for the world to read) and applied for a part-time job teaching SAT prep-courses east of san francisco (The East Bay). it soooounds like i got the job (!!), but will find out for sure this week. but nonetheless, i'm pretty excited about it.

i took the kids i work with to see 'glory road' this afternoon. it's shameful to admit - but because of watching that movie, the nature of my job, that film, white privilege and the posters and talk in the streets - today is the first Martin Luther King Day that i have sat down and thought about what that means, what this day commemorates. i can't believe that all of that happened just a few years ago; my grandparents lived through it. not like that time is completely over though.


you should reread his speech, even a bit of it. see mario's blog for assistance.

diane i cannot even believe that you are coming in a few short days. i try not to think of it, because it then consumes all conversation with everyone i know.
