Hollow
So Danny is gone for another 4 weeks, just about. I have kept really busy, taking the dog places, working late, trying to hang with friends. But I miss him, and I am sad. I could technically go hang with friends now, but I am pooped. But sort of lonely too. I’ve been taking care of his plants and I think I’ve done pretty well. I picked a large red tomato today.
The band did ask if he would be free in August, not sure how long the tour will be, but…meh.
I should paint right now, but I am tired, long day at work and then I met up with Fred and took Nacho to the dog park.
Do you ever want to just move away, make a new life in a whole new country? Like see if you can make it in Ireland, or Buenos Aires, Spain, or Mathis? (I’m just kidding about the last one). I wonder at times what it would be like to live like others do. Like having to wear a scarf and mitts all the time, or being in a jungle. Not forever of course, but just to see and learn about the lives of others. I realize that since I don’t have children, I have the world at my fingertips (reminding myself that it takes cash too), but I should technically go enjoy the world or what I can of it before I get tied down with family. Not that you can’t enjoy it with family, but lets just say Danny and I aren’t in careers where money will be rolling in later. I don’t know, I am rambling now. Just wondering what I should be doing…you know?
I have to learn JavaScript for Monday’s class. Not all of it of course, but just enough to get student’s feet wet and get them coding cool stuff. At times I feel like such a failure to my students, at others I feel wonderful, I know with experience it will get better and my rough days will be less and less. I do enjoy my job and the people I work with though, I am learning so much and well, love it.
My name is Gina and I am a Web Design & Interactive Media college instructor in Austin, Texas. I received my Masters in Instructional Technology from UT Austin and my undergrad in TV/Film from TAMU-CC. My focus for this blog is wide...I am interested in web design, teaching college level students, being an artist, a Latina, and pretty much anything else that comes into my head!
I’m sorry you’re feeling so down about Danny being gone.
What if you planned on going somewhere cool during your vacation?
