It's Friday!

I'm sitting around killing time so that I can leave to San Diego when traffic is a bit more agreeable. I need to eat too. If we happen to meet up this weekend, can you remind to buy an airport? It's hard keeping up with a blog when there is only one connection in the house.

When Jenn and Olga warned me that I would be busy with this new job, I didn't want to believe them. I feel so grown up all of a sudden- I actually make it to work by 8 am everyday now. And I work the whole time! I can't even chat with Zahedi about what's for lunch any more. Forget about lunch sessions! Today I had like 20 minutes to eat lunch. I have some really important friends here and I haven't even had time to really hang out with them- even Cathy, who I live with. Do I like what I'm doing? I don't know yet. It's definitely interesting, but I wonder if the sacrifice will be worth it. I mean, even when we pull off our plan and schools get better, will I feel like the amount of personal time I have sacrificed was well spent? I want to change the world, and the fastest way to do that in education is to have formal authority. To be in a formal authority position, you have to be willing to play the game. At least that's what I feel pressured to do and I'm not sure I can do it and balance time for me. I'm worried...
